Re: DB sessions 100 times of DB connections

BTW, I’m using the pgbadger report to check for peak connections/sessions.

Hi,

 

We’ve experienced a DB issue yesterday and after checked the log found that the peak sessions is 3000 while the peak DB connections is only around 30. The application is having problem of pulling data but no warnings in DB log as it doesn’t exceed max_connections.

 

 

How could this happen? How does sessions/connections work in Postgres?

 

Thanks,

Suya
