Re: Postgres fine tuning

Hi Team,

Recently we migrated from the OS from Cent 7 to RHEL 8 version. Post migration we are seeing high memory usage. Upon checking with RHEL team, they are asking to fine tune the system for postgres and to configure huge pages to improve the performance.

/etc/sysctl.conf
<snip>
vm.swappiness = 10
vm.dirty_expire_centisecs = 500
vm.dirty_writeback_centisecs = 250
vm.dirty_ratio = 15
vm.dirty_background_ratio = 3

Is this value recommended for all systems running postgres ? Please let me know if it is fine to update this.

Regards,

Kanimozhi.
