<p>A Vacuum commands used to remove dead tuples from the disk which improve the overall performance of the PostgreSQL Server.</p>
<blockquote><p>When we have enabled Autovacuum related parameters, It will perform vacuum automatically whenever a database has no load and tables should not have any exclusive lock. </p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>This is fine with default Autovacuum setting, but My reporting system is very loaded with tons of bulk operations.<br />
In this situation, Autovacuum will not run frequently so we should change the default value of Autovacuum related parameters and we should make It more aggressive. </p></blockquote>
<p>Below have required changes to force the Autovacuum parameters for running frequently. </p>
<p><strong>First enable the log for Autovacuum process:</strong></p>
<pre class="crayon-plain-tag">log_autovacuum_min_duration = 0</pre> </p>
<p><strong>Increase the size of worker to check table more:</strong></p>
<pre class="crayon-plain-tag">autovacuum_max_workers = 6
autovacuum_naptime = 15s</pre> </p>
<p><strong>Decrease the value of thresholds and auto analyze to trigger the sooner:</strong></p>
<pre class="crayon-plain-tag">autovacuum_vacuum_threshold = 25
autovacuum_vacuum_scale_factor = 0.1
autovacuum_analyze_threshold = 10
autovacuum_analyze_scale_factor = 0.05</pre> </p>
<p><strong>Make autovacuum less interruptable:</strong></p>
<pre class="crayon-plain-tag">autovacuum_vacuum_cost_delay = 10ms
autovacuum_vacuum_cost_limit = 1000</pre> </p>
