    • Note: The Connector has minimal impact on resource consumption (on average less than 1% CPU and less than 30 MB RAM)
  • Patches installation: More than 10% free space
  • Agents installation: 1-2 GB free space (also depends on the amount of agents and their size)

How to tune your Database

We highly recommend tuning the database configuration based on the following article before starting using JetPatch.

  1. Open the link and fill in all parameters based on your machine settings you've configured in. 
    • DB Version : 9 / 10 / 11
    • OS Type : Linux
    • DB Type : Web Application
    • Total Memory Size : Insert memory size based on the JetPatch Machine you chose.
    • Number CPU : Insert memory size based on the JetPatch Machine you chose.
    • Storage : HDD Storage
  2. Click on 'Generate'
  3. Modify the 'Postgres.conf' configuration file based onthe recommendations given in the PGTune link. The configuration file path is /var/lib/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf Screen_Shot_2020-11-17_at_9.25.13_PM.png
  4. Restart DB

Please note: 

  1. The settings above refer to a standalone DB machine. If you have chosen the "All-In-One" option. please fill in the following
    1. PoC : Memory 8, CPU 4
    2. Small : Memory 12, CPU 8
    3. Medium : Memory 24 , 16 CPU
  2. If the configuration is not located in the default location run the following to locate it: 
sudo updatedb
locate postgresql.conf
