WARNING : pgstat wait timeout - Postgres 9.1

От

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.
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.

No, sending SIGHUP to the server is enough.

You should get it...
stats_temp_directory            | 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.

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
