Hi,
One of my clients has Microsoft Defender for Endpoint on Linux installed
on their Postgres servers.
I was testing a database restore from pgBackRest. The restore itself
seemed to complete in a reasonable amount of time, but then the Postgres
recovery started and it was extremely slow to retrieve and apply the WAL
files.
I noticed wdavdaemon taking most of the CPU, and Postgres getting very
little.
I wonder if anyone here has any experience with configuring exclusions
so that the WAL files can be processed faster?
AND
Any advice on what to communicate with their IT department about using
this on their database servers? I've never encountered it on Linux before...
Advice, don't let any Microsoft product contact anything you care about.
Thanks,
Colin
