Hello list.
I have a strange problem with one of our servers (PostgreSQl 9.2.8). Every monday the autovacuum workers seems to stop working (the workers decrease in number) this causes that 5 tables that are constantly updated and deleted to be really slow.

I have this settings on postgresql.conf:
maintenance_work_mem = 7936MB
autovacuum = on
#log_autovacuum_min_duration = -1
autovacuum_max_workers = 12
#autovacuum_naptime = 1min
#autovacuum_vacuum_threshold = 50
#autovacuum_analyze_threshold = 50
#autovacuum_vacuum_scale_factor = 0.2
#autovacuum_analyze_scale_factor = 0.1
#autovacuum_freeze_max_age = 200000000
#autovacuum_vacuum_cost_delay = 20ms
#autovacuum_vacuum_cost_limit = -1
Per table I have this settings:
datosr
autovacuum_enabled=true,
autovacuum_vacuum_threshold=50,
autovacuum_vacuum_scale_factor=0.1,
autovacuum_vacuum_cost_limit=1000
datose
autovacuum_enabled=true,
autovacuum_vacuum_threshold=50,
autovacuum_vacuum_scale_factor=0.1,
autovacuum_vacuum_cost_limit=1000
idig_h
autovacuum_enabled=true,
autovacuum_vacuum_threshold=1000,
autovacuum_vacuum_cost_limit=2000
iodig
autovacuum_enabled=true,
autovacuum_vacuum_threshold=1000,
autovacuum_vacuum_cost_limit=2000
ia
autovacuum_vacuum_threshold=50,
autovacuum_vacuum_scale_factor=.1,
autovacuum_vacuum_cost_limit=1000
I bases those settings by reading this blog entry: https://blog.2ndquadrant.com/autovacuum-tuning-basics/
It seems that I am doing something wrong, could you guys please point me in the right direction?
Thank you very much
