Re: [HACKERS] WARNING : pgstat wait timeout - Postgres 9.1

About the stats_temp_directory, I didn't run as root...
Now I'm sure the configurations are correct.

I think, I have too much IO to use stats. I will ever have this message...
Maybe I can disable this option.
Do you know what it really impact ?

Thanks.
Math

pg_stat_tmp   | Writes temporary
statistics files to the specified directory.

I don't know why i don't get it. I am in 9.1 version...

Moreover, when I mount pg_stat_tmp in a tmpfs, the warning messages
decrease  the warning messages decrease from 1 each minutes to 1 each five
secondes. I don't have any others logs warning but the file pg_stat.stat in
the mounting point is not created... I tryed before on a test environment
and it works...

If you have any ideas...
Thanks a lot.

Math

Those temporary statistics are stored in global directory when server shuts
down, so the risk here would be to lose a portion of this data in the case
of a crash, either at PG or at OS level.

[HACKERS] WARNING : pgstat wait timeout - Postgres 9.1

2013-05-23 Thread Mathieu Guerin
Hello,

I am facing a problem with pgstat as my subject says. I known, some topics
are open about that, but I would like to go deeper.

Some person told that the better way to don't have this message anymore is
to configure pgstat.stat to be loaded in the RAM with a tmpfs mount point.

What are the consequences ? Because this file will be remove if the server
reboot.

If we change the parameter stats_temp_directory is it necessary to reboot
the server ?

When I lauch a SHOW ALL; command, the parameter stats_temp_director is not
here.

For information, my pgstat.stat file is up to 1,3MB.

Thank you for your help.
