Hi,
Recently we upgraded our production server from 7.5GB RAM to 15GB RAM.
1. To solve performance issue.
2. Also the number of concurrent users increased from 150 to 300.
Our production server is not dedicated server. We have also
1. Tomcat
2. Apache
3. Cron based scheduled programs
4. Also some thread based programs
running in the same server.
We are trying to configure postgresql parameters according to 15GB RAM.
Linux
---------------
Kernal.SHMMAX
From - 2147483648
To - 19818063053
250kB + 8.2kB * shared_buffers + 14.2kB * max_connections
(250kB + 8.2kB * 2359296kB(2304*1024) + 14.2kB * 500) = 19353577.2 * 1024 =
19818063052.8
postgresql.conf
--------------------
shared_buffers
From - 1536MB
To - 2304MB
Since we have other application also running we have taken 15% of the RAM
value for shared_buffers.
max_connection
From - 500
To - 500
PGPOOL configuration
---------------------
num_init_children
From - 150
To - 420
child_max_connections
From - 20
To - 30
We have more than 300 peoples accessing our server concurrently so we need
around 300 connections concurrently.
Is this correct? Will the above configuration improve the performance?
Thanks in advance
Regards
Ezhil
