Fair question
Let me elaborate. The command was simply to test the speed at which data
can be written to disk.
Postgre comes into play with the monitoring application itself. Information
pertaining to the 5000+ devices being monitored is sent to the monitoring
application and written to the Postgre database.
The issue we're having is that around 10% (or so) of the data received is
being discarded because according to the vendor (SolarWinds) it cannot be
written to disk fast enough. Simply too much data coming in and nowhere to
go so it gets dropped.
