+## Setup
+
+Add to postgres.conf:
+
+ shared_preload_libraries = 'auto_explain,pg_stat_statements'
+
+ # Increase the max size of the query strings Postgres records
+ track_activity_query_size = 2048
+
+ # Track statements generated by stored procedures as well
+ pg_stat_statements.track = all
+
+Also:
+
+ track_counts (already default)
+ autovacuum (already default?)
+ log_min_error = warning
+ log_min_duration_statement = 5000
+
+Then from shell:
+
+ create extension pg_stat_statements;
+
+Regularly want to run:
+
+ VACUUM ANALYZE
+
+## Tuning Values
+
+postgres config:
+
+ max_connections = 100 (default)
+ shared_buffers = 128MB -> 10GB (while elastic on same machine; later 16 or more)
+ effective_cache_size = 4GB -> 24GB (while elastic on same machine)
+ work_mem = 4MB -> 128MB # relatively few connections/box
+ fsync = on
+ commit_delay = ??? (and siblings)
+ random_page_cost = 1 (for SSD)
+ default_statistics_target = 100 -> 200
+ maintenance_work_mem = 64MB -> 8GB
+ synchronous_commit = off (during dev only! switch to on for production!)
+ wal_sync_method (keep default)
+ max_wal_size = 64 -> 128 (based on above HINT message)
+ # didn't mess with commit_delay/commit_siblings

+
+ 2018-06-29 00:14:05.948 UTC [21711] LOG: checkpoints are occurring too frequently (1 second apart)
+ 2018-06-29 00:14:05.948 UTC [21711] HINT: Consider increasing the configuration parameter "max_wal_size".
+
+VACUUM is running basically continuously; should prevent that? 6 hours or
+longer on release_rev and release_ref tables. An auto-approve batch method
+would resovle this, I think (no update after insert).
+
+max_wal_size wasn't getting set correctly.
+
+The statements taking the most time are the complex inserts (multi-table
+inserts); they take a fraction of a second though (mean less than a
+milisecond).
+
+Manifest import runs really slow if release import is concurrent; much faster
+to wait until release import is done first (like a factor of 10x or more).
+
+With some 60 million releases:

+
+TODO: slow query log doesn't seem to be working (let alone auto_explain)
