Recently due to some problem(not yet diagnosed) , our DB server Postgres is getting very slow after few hours. We didnt changed any settings for 6 months , so we dont know y its happening suddenly in this week. Our data folder is 118GB with 160 DBs. System is 2 Quad core with RAM 4GB. In last two days when it was restarted its performance is good but gradually going down. So few planned to restart the posgres process daily. Is it advisable to restart server daily ? since daily we can have 30 mins downtime. Please advise is it advisable or not?
