I asked this a while back and I don't think I ever saw an answer. I've got a spacewalk 1.6 install on 64-bit CentOS 6 with Postgresql backend. Every day I see about 50 postgres processes queue up as "postgres: swuser swdb [local] idle in transaction."
I do a restart every night in order to keep my OSA implementation working (it stops responding if I don't do a restart of the services periodically), and the 'idle in transaction' processes start immediately after that. Sometimes I get more throughout the day, but it seems the mostly pile up within the first 30 seconds or so of restarting. I see a lot of slowness while doing certain tasks in spacewalk (especially as it relates to kickstart profiles, which, when I make a change to one, seem to time out and give me a 500 error, at which point the changes I made seem to be committed). Anyone have any ideas how to troubleshoot fix these? I saw in another thread about monitoring. I do not have monitoring enabled in my spacewalk implementation. The processes do not seem to abate when I stop OSA dispatcher or jabberd, so it doesn't seem OSA related either.
