Since they are sporadic, my guess is that it's due to autovacuum not letting pgstat catch up. I'd try either setting autovacuum_vacuum_cost_delay to a low value, or extending the sleep period in the stats test, to give more time for pgstat to catch up with those messages. Setting the cost_delay sounds a reasonable thing to do anyway, and in fact I already proposed it and nobody objected (AFAIR). Now we only have to agree on a reasonable value. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
