Hi

child_max_connection = 0 means it is disabled and child will never be killed because of number of connection it received.
So it should be because of child_life_time which is set to 300, and whenever any child process have the client idle for 300 seconds it will be terminated by pgpool-II and the message will appear in the log. If this is the case you should also get message like
"child connection forced to terminate due to client_idle_limit:10 is reached" in the pgpool-II log
Again you can disable this by setting this child_life_time parameter to 0.


Thanks
Best regards

Hi

Thanks for your quick answer.

We have the child_max_connections = 0

child_max_connections = 0
                                   # Pool exits after receiving that many connections
                                   # 0 means no exit

Not sure if this means we have reached the max number of connections that we need to increase some of the parameter value?

But don’t know which parameter should be tuned?

We currently have the following:

num_init_children = 512
max_pool = 4

child_life_time = 300
child_max_connections = 0
connection_life_time = 0

client_idle_limit = 0

connection_cache = off


in postgres, the max_connections=1024


Thanks!

Audrey

Hi

Normally pgpool-II child process exits with this status code when the child is terminated because of child max connections.
This is normal behaviour and it can be controlled by pgpool's child_max_connections configuration parameter.


Thanks

Hello,

We have seen a lots of messages in the pgpool log about:

child process with pid: ## exits with status 512 / fork a new child process with pid: #

we are not sure if this is normal.
When it exit with status 512.

Thanks!
