Обсуждение: Swap on postgres master server
Hello,
we are running Postgres 10.5 with master slave replication.
These are our custom params
archive_command = 'pgbackrest --stanza=cmdprod archive-push %p' # command to use to archive a logfile segment
archive_mode = on # enables archiving; off, on, or always
checkpoint_completion_target = 0.7 # checkpoint target duration, 0.0 - 1.0
default_text_search_config = 'pg_catalog.english' #
datestyle = 'iso, mdy' #
effective_cache_size = 120GB #
hot_standby = on # "on" allows queries during recovery
lc_messages = 'en_US.UTF-8' # locale for system error message
lc_monetary = 'en_US.UTF-8' # locale for monetary formatting
lc_numeric = 'en_US.UTF-8' # locale for number formatting
lc_time = 'en_US.UTF-8' # locale for time formatting
listen_addresses = '*' # defaults to 'localhost', '*' = all
log_autovacuum_min_duration = 1000ms # -1 disables, 0 logs all actions and
log_checkpoints = on #
log_line_prefix = '%t [%r] [%p]: [%l-1] db=%d,user=%u ' #
log_lock_waits = on # log lock waits >= deadlock_timeout
log_min_duration_statement = 1000ms # -1 is disabled, 0 logs all statements
log_statement = 'ddl' # none, ddl, mod, all
log_temp_files = 1024kB # log temporary files equal or larger
maintenance_work_mem = 2GB #
max_connections = 220 #
max_parallel_workers_per_gather = 8 # taken from max_worker_processes
max_wal_size = 2GB #
min_wal_size = 1GB #
pg_stat_statements.max = 10000 #
pg_stat_statements.track = all #
port = 5432 # port number which Postgres listen
shared_buffers = 10GB #
shared_preload_libraries = 'pg_stat_statements' # (change requires restart)
synchronous_standby_names = '1 ( "usnyh2" )' # comment out during upgrade
track_activity_query_size = 16384 # (change requires restart)
track_io_timing = on #
wal_buffers = 16MB #
wal_keep_segments = 100 #
wal_level = replica # minimal, replica, or logical
work_mem = 600MB #
This server is on Centos 7 and the strange thing is that we see a lot of swap usage :
[root@usnyh-cmd1 ~]# free -m
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 257652 7555 5559 12804 244536 236036
Swap: 16383 7326 9057
7GB used.
But can't see it from any of the commands like top etc.
I am sure it is postgres because it is the only service running on that machine.
Is there anything we can do?
On the sync slave, the usage is just 400MB.
Any trick?
Thanks a lot,
Nicola
Are you sure that swap is used actively? Maybe it had just been used during backup or something.
Look after SwapIn/SwapOut (si/so) it should be '0'
$ vmstat 1
procs -----------memory---------- ---swap-- -----io---- -system-- ------cpu-----
r b swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy id wa st
1 0 12 89344 46608 586384 0 0 12 8 30 86 0 0 99 0 0
If you want to see the amount of ram used by each program with childs run this:
ps -A --sort -rss -o comm,pmem | awk '
NR == 1 { print; next }
{ a[$1] += $2 }
END {
for (i in a) {
printf "%-15s\t%s\n", i, a[i];
}
}

I recommend that you set "vm.swappiness = 0" using "sysctl" to discourage the operating system from swapping as much as possible. Yours, Laurenz Albe -- Cybertec | https://www.cybertec-postgresql.com
No it is not probably used, because I can't find it in any way as I said.
I run your commands :

So I'm just asking why it is still there with free -m and if there is any way to free that up if it is not used.
Thanks

I guess you can run swapoff (followed by swapon). That will free up
whatever is currently swapped. Beware if the system is actively
swapping then swapoff can take some time. But it seems not in your
case.

Ok thanks I will try that.
But do you know if there is any way to avoid this?
vm.swapiness? or anything on the postgres conf?
