please check the first log message: the vacuum threshold is 6,000,050
rows and the number of dead tuples is 16,697,969. Even though the number
of dead_tuples is greater than the threshold the autovacuum is not being
triggered for this table. So, besides this condition (dead_tuples >
threshold) what else is taken into account by autovacuum?
What version of PostgreSQL? Is the table being excluded? (see the
pg_autovacuum system table settings) Are you sure that it's not getting
processed? Perhaps one worker is / has been churning on this table for a
*LONG* time (that is a fairly big table). What does it say for the
most recent autovacuum?
SELECT relid, schemaname, relname, last_vacuum, last_autovacuum from
pg_stat_all_tables;
