I am concerned that if the autovacuum is constantly canceled, then the table never gets cleaned and its performance will continue to degrade over time.  Is it expected for the vacuum to be canceled by an insert in this way?

 

We are using postgres 9.6.10.


Have you checked when the table was last autovacuumed in pg_stat_user_tables? If the autovacuum count is high and timestamp of last run is relatively current, then no reason for concern as far as I can figure.

Have you already configured (non-default values) for autovacuum options for your system or this table?
