Hello Guys,
We are facing problem related to performance of Postgres. Indexes are not being utilized and Postgres is giving priority to seq scan. I read many articles of Postgres performance and found that we need to set the randome_page_cost value same as seq_page_cost because we are using SSD drives. We are running copy of Discourse forum, you can read more about Discourse here meta.discourse.org. Details of all Server hardware and Postgres version are given below. I am adding my Postgres configuration file in attachment, kindly review it and suggest the changes so that i can improve the performance of whole system. Currently queries are taking lot of time. I can also share the schema with you and queries in detail too. Thanks Postgres Version : 9.5.4 Server Hardware details : Dedicate machine 16 Physical cores 32 Logical cores RAM : 64 GB RAM Type : DDR3 Drive Type : SSD Raid Controller : MegaRAID SAS 2108 Raid Card Configured Raids : 10 No of Drives : 4 File System : XFS Regards, Junaid |
# ----------------------------- # PostgreSQL configuration file # ----------------------------- # # This file consists of lines of the form: # # name = value # # (The "=" is optional.) Whitespace may be used. Comments are introduced with # "#" anywhere on a line. The complete list of parameter names and allowed # values can be found in the PostgreSQL documentation. # # The commented-out settings shown in this file represent the default values. # Re-commenting a setting is NOT sufficient to revert it to the default value; # you need to reload the server. # # This file is read on server startup and when the server receives a SIGHUP # signal. If you edit the file on a running system, you have to SIGHUP the # server for the changes to take effect, or use "pg_ctl reload". Some # parameters, which are marked below, require a server shutdown and restart to # take effect. # # Any parameter can also be given as a command-line option to the server, e.g., # "postgres -c log_connections=on". Some parameters can be changed at run time # with the "SET" SQL command. # # Memory units: kB = kilobytes Time units: ms = milliseconds # MB = megabytes s = seconds # GB = gigabytes min = minutes # TB = terabytes h = hours # d = days #------------------------------------------------------------------------------ # FILE LOCATIONS #------------------------------------------------------------------------------ # The default values of these variables are driven from the -D command-line # option or PGDATA environment variable, represented here as ConfigDir. #data_directory = 'ConfigDir' # use data in another directory # (change requires restart) #hba_file = 'ConfigDir/pg_hba.conf' # host-based authentication file # (change requires restart) #ident_file = 'ConfigDir/pg_ident.conf' # ident configuration file # (change requires restart) # If external_pid_file is not explicitly set, no extra PID file is written. #external_pid_file = '' # write an extra PID file # (change requires restart) #------------------------------------------------------------------------------ # CONNECTIONS AND AUTHENTICATION #------------------------------------------------------------------------------ # - Connection Settings - listen_addresses = '192.167.1.1.,127.0.0.1' # what IP address(es) to listen on;
