Hi,
Since the autovacuum decides whether to vacuum or analyze a table based on thresholds .As the threshold to trigger autovacuum is high so it might not have been triggered .
vacuum_trigger_threshold =
autovacuum_vacuum_threshold + (autovacuum_vacuum_scale_factor × n_live_tup)
You may check below mentioned parameters:
autovacuum = onautovacuum_vacuum_threshold = 50 # min number of row updates before vacuumautovacuum_vacuum_scale_factor = 0.01 # vacuum triggers at 1%autovacuum_naptime = X # time between autovacuum runsThanks & Regards

Hello list,
I have a table that is constantly growing, and it's not being
vacuumed/analyzed. I think my problem is rather common, but how to even
debug it if "nothing works"?
I've already set log_autovacuum_min_duration = 0 but the table is never
mentioned in my logs, grep'ing for "vacuum".
I have run ANALYZE manually once but nothing automatic.
Here is more info:

How can I get more info from postgres on the autovacuum logic?
