Hello Venkata, Thank you for the reply!
I forgot to specify the application name.It is ZABBIX tool using postgreSQL database. All types of queries are running slow and i can see application is writing continuously. Yesterday , i updated effective_io_concurrency to 25 which earlier set as default. But this has not helped me to solve the problem. Yes, you are right, the database size has grown from 5 GB database to 100 GB database and may be there is problem in slownesss in disk. However we cannot replace the disk right now. I ran vacuum and analyze manually on all the tables as well. Still it is not helping. Can you think of any other setting which i should enable?
