Show top 20 larger rooms by state events count

SELECT r.name, s.room_id, s.current_state_events
  FROM room_stats_current s
  LEFT JOIN room_stats_state r USING (room_id)
  ORDER BY current_state_events DESC
  LIMIT 20;

and by state_group_events count:

SELECT rss.name, s.room_id, count(s.room_id) FROM state_groups_state s
LEFT JOIN room_stats_state rss USING (room_id)
GROUP BY s.room_id, rss.name        
ORDER BY count(s.room_id) DESC
LIMIT 20;

plus same, but with join removed for performance reasons:

SELECT s.room_id, count(s.room_id) FROM state_groups_state s
GROUP BY s.room_id        
ORDER BY count(s.room_id) DESC
LIMIT 20;

Show top 20 larger tables by row count

SELECT relname, n_live_tup as rows
  FROM pg_stat_user_tables 
  ORDER BY n_live_tup DESC
  LIMIT 20;

This query is quick, but may be very approximate, for exact number of rows use SELECT COUNT(*) FROM <table_name>.

Show top 20 rooms by new events count in last 1 day:

SELECT e.room_id, r.name, COUNT(e.event_id) cnt FROM events e
LEFT JOIN room_stats_state r USING (room_id)
WHERE e.origin_server_ts >= DATE_PART('epoch', NOW() - INTERVAL '1 day') * 1000 GROUP BY e.room_id, r.name ORDER BY cnt DESC LIMIT 20;

Show top 20 users on homeserver by sent events (messages) at last month:

SELECT user_id, SUM(total_events) 
   FROM user_stats_historical
   WHERE TO_TIMESTAMP(end_ts/1000) AT TIME ZONE 'UTC' > date_trunc('day', now() - interval '1 month')
   GROUP BY user_id
   ORDER BY SUM(total_events) DESC 
   LIMIT 20;

Show last 100 messages from needed user, with room names:

SELECT e.room_id, r.name, e.event_id, e.type, e.content, j.json FROM events e
  LEFT JOIN event_json j USING (room_id)
  LEFT JOIN room_stats_state r USING (room_id)
  WHERE sender = '@LOGIN:example.com'
  AND e.type = 'm.room.message'
  ORDER BY stream_ordering DESC
  LIMIT 100;

Show top 20 larger tables by storage size

SELECT nspname || '.' || relname AS "relation",
    pg_size_pretty(pg_total_relation_size(C.oid)) AS "total_size"
  FROM pg_class C
  LEFT JOIN pg_namespace N ON (N.oid = C.relnamespace)
  WHERE nspname NOT IN ('pg_catalog', 'information_schema')
    AND C.relkind <> 'i'
    AND nspname !~ '^pg_toast'
  ORDER BY pg_total_relation_size(C.oid) DESC
  LIMIT 20;
