Hi Team
System details
We are using pg-16.8 on rhel 9.x
RAM-96GB
CPU-16
We have configured 25% RAM as shared buffers,50% as effective cache.we have
configured 50% RAM for Huge page settings
Max connection set to 2000
Work-mem -4 mb
Maintenance work mem set to 1 GB
Issue details
1) we have an application that selects the data and will process in
application and try to insert the data into an other table
During this process we are seeing so many temporary files been generated by
the system,after some time we are seeing the application Connection is
accumulating the memory at OS Level after reaching ~50%,we are getting Out
Of Memory error and Kernel is killing the top memory consumer process ,here
it is killing Postgres process that is doing the entire process.while
automatic Postgres Service restart ,system status showing as activating and
it is coming to Active state only after clearing of all the temporary files
crated during the query running.The clearing of temp files are very slow
such that it is causing unplanned outages to the system
how to fasten the Temp files removal?
How to get rid of this situation?
Any suggestions on the configuration to avoid the temp file generation
Thanks in advance
Ramakrishna
