Hi: PG v4.8.3 on Linux
I'm using "selcet procpid,current_query from pg_stat_activity" to monitor activity during times when "top" is showing many PG procs with very high cpu usage numbers (all cores at or above 90%). Some of these are procs that map to PG connections with current_query = <IDLE>. What scenarios could explain a process identified as IDLE consuming lots of CPU? More clues... In parallel with these was a user that was making a series of insert/delete/update commands that fire off triggers that generate more DML recursively. Some of the idles are "<IDLE> in transaction". Thanks for any help !
