--- title: Monitor active queries subtitle: View and analyze running queries in your database enableTableOfContents: true updatedOn: '2025-10-22T15:44:06.423Z' --- You can monitor active queries for your Neon project from the **Monitoring** page in the Neon Console. 1. In the Neon Console, select a project. 2. Go to **Monitoring**. 3. Select the **Active queries** tab. The **Active queries** view displays up to 100 currently running queries for the selected **Branch**, **Compute**, and **Database**. Use the **Refresh** button to update the list with the latest active queries. ![Neon active queries tab](/docs/introduction/active_queries.png) The **Active queries** view is powered by the `pg_stat_activity` Postgres system view, which is available in Neon by default. To run custom queries against the data collected by `pg_stat_activity`, you can use the [Neon SQL Editor](/docs/get-started/query-with-neon-sql-editor) or any SQL client, such as [psql](/docs/connect/query-with-psql-editor). For details on `pg_stat_activity`, see [pg_stat_activity](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/monitoring-stats.html#MONITORING-PG-STAT-ACTIVITY-VIEW) in the PostgreSQL documentation. In Neon, the `pg_stat_activity` system view only holds data on currently running queries. Once a query completes, it no longer appears in the **Active queries** view. If your Neon compute scales down to zero due to inactivity, there will be no active queries until a new connection is established and a query is run.
