Postgresql out of memory using timescaledb

    • Db: CentOS Linux 7, Postgresql 11.4, timescaledb-11-1.2.2
      Server: CentOS Linux 7, zabbix 4.2.4 (from RPM)
    • Sprint 63 (Apr 2020), Sprint 64 (May 2020)

      Steps to reproduce:

      1. Install PgSQL 11 + timescaledb
      2. Configure with 9 proxies, with vps ~ 2200
      3. Restart zabbix-server process

      Result:
      On restart, the zabbix server sends a large UPDATE query that eventually exhausts available memory on the pgsql Server. Server is configured with 64Gb RAM, 40Gb Swap, with large work_mem to satisfy requirements of zabbix select queries.

       

      When this occurs, the history syncer processes do not update history and the database/server falls behind, generating multiple triggers and alerts.

      See log file...
      See memory dump...
      Expected:
      History syncer does not generate queries that exhaust database memory.

       

      Note: this appears to be the same issue reported in ZBX-9722 .
