[pgpool-general: 2225] Pool queue length

[James Sewell]

Hello All,

The documentation states:

"Up to 2*num_init_children can be queued"

I assumed this to mean that if I set num_init_children to 2, then I can
field 2 client connections (one to each forked process) at a time. The
third and fourth connections will be queued, then the fifth will be
rejected.

However this doesn't seem to be the reality. I can demonstrate this with
psql, opening many more than 4 connections. The first two connect, the next
x idle waiting for a connection.

I saw another similar post which said:

"... it is up to OSs behavior when pgpool set backlog parameter"

Could someone explain this a bit more? Where is the backlog parameter?

Is there a way I can check this queue length so I can alarm on it?

Cheers,


James Sewell,
