Perhaps consider running manual vacuum analyze at low load times daily if you have that opportunity. This may stop autovacuums from hitting thresholds during high load times or do the normal/aggressive autovacuum tuning to make it more aggressive during low load times and less aggressive during

The autoanalyze factor is set to 0.05 for the db, and we have not changed the default statistics target. The CPU spike occurred between 13:05 - 13:15. last_autoanalyze for the table shows a time of 12:49; last_autovacuum does not show any activity around this time for any table. Checkpoint logs ar

As it happens our larger tables operate as a business log and are also insert only. - There is no partitioning at this time since we expect to have an automated process to delete rows older than a certain date. - Analyzing doing off-hours sounds like a good idea; if there is no other way to determ

Autoanalyze CPU usage

2017-12-19 Thread Habib Nahas
Hi, We operate an RDS postgres 9.5 instance and have periodic CPU spikes to 100%. These spikes appear to be due to autoanalyze kicking on our larger tables. Our largest table has 75 million rows and the autoanalyze scale factor is set to 0.05. The documentation I've read suggests that the analyz
