HI!
Many thanks for the tip! These are production servers that will have about 1,000 users this next semester, so I'll follow your advice. Reading various postgresql docs has given me the impression that the system is pretty robust and doesn't need much care and feeding beyond these few parameters -- or?
Now here's a question: how do I test this? Do we have a standard dotlrn/openacs performance testing setup? I have read with much interest the advice of Janine and others on the Heidelberg server: do I try to follow her steps? Has someone written this up? Or might you briefly outline what I might set up for recording current benchmarks and then monitor on a regular basis, or should I be a big boy and start googling on this on my own?! :)
All the best,
Bruce
