Hello,

I have these messages on my 7.4.7 database log...
TopMemoryContext: 87494704 total in 10676 blocks; 179400 free (61
chunks); 87315304 used
TopTransactionContext: 57344 total in 3 blocks; 648 free (5 chunks);
56696 used

CacheMemoryContext: 421519360 total in 60 blocks; 1116168 free (769
chunks); 420403192 used\\

followed by about 16GB of the following type of entries...
pg_temp_1486707494: 2048 total in 1 blocks; 768 free (0 chunks); 1280 used


First....are these 2 sets of messages related and second what would
cause either or both sets of messages to appear in the log?

Appreciate any help :)

-Joe

What's at the top and bottom of that?

PG prints out a memory stats dump like this when it runs out of memory.
The dump itself isn't much use to anyone but a developer; what you want
to look into is what triggered it.  The error message appearing just
after (or maybe just before, I forget) should be relevant.

Could you have been trying to vacuum a ridiculously large number of
tables, or some such?

Above this there is just a few expected error messages about a table
already existing, unfortunately this log happened between logrotates and
the log filled the logs partition to 100% so I do not have the post dump
messages.

The last entry in the log is ...
pg_temp_1486707604: 1024 total in 1 blocks; 640 free

At first I suspected vacuum to be the culprit of the 16G of data though
this db is being vacuumed by pg_autovacuum with (-s 900 -d 3 -S 0 -A 0
-V 0) as options and it has recently undergone a vacuum full and reindex
operation.

One other data point is that the shared buffers are very high
max_connections = 512
shared_buffers = 100000

though there are no other high memory consumers on that machine and it
has 4G of physical RAM

we're suspecting pg_autovacuum as being the culprit but cannot nail it
down quite yet.
