General performance/load issue

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello everyone,

I'm having some troubles with a Postgresql server.
We're using PG has a database backend for a very big website (lots of data
and much traffic).

The issue : server suddenly (1H after restart) becomes slow (queries not
responding), load rises (>20 instead of 1), iowait rises (20 to 70%)
 
Version : 9.0.5
Server : Dual Xeon X5650 (24  cores total)
Memory : 48 GB
Disks : SSD

Did I do anything wrong? Any idea?
