Hi all, I have two PostgreSQL 9.0.5 clusters, one is a master and the other is a hot standby via streaming replication. I'm monitoring some stats on each and I'm noticing something very odd. On the master, I get between 2 and 4 requested checkpoints per hour, but on the hot standby I'm seeing between 200 and 300 requested checkpoints per hour. Both boxes are the same specs, and have the same following config parameters: name | setting ------------------------------+--------- bgwriter_delay | 200 bgwriter_lru_maxpages | 350 bgwriter_lru_multiplier | 2 checkpoint_completion_target | 0.5 checkpoint_segments | 256 checkpoint_timeout | 1800 Is there any reason why I would be seeing this type of behavior on the hot standby? Is it the standard type of behavior on a hot standby that I'm only now noticing? Thanks in advance, - Brian F |
