ansible-postgresql_tune's Introduction

Ansible postgresql_tune module

Ansible module for automatic PostgreSQL tuning.

The module creates tuned settings for Postgres based on various use cases and system sizing parameters.

Tuned settings are written out to a specified config file, not to the main postgresql.conf.

Installation

Place postgresql_tune.py in your Ansible library directory

Requirements

Postgresql installation.

To include a separate config file with your postgresql.conf a common stanza is:-

include_dir = 'conf.d'

Duplicated parameters override parameters that occur earlier in the core postgresql.conf file.

Dependencies

None

Example Playbook

Postgresql 9.6

  vars:
    postgresql_version: 9.6
    postgresql_conf_directory: /etc/postgresql/9.6
    postgresql_tune_db_type: web
    postgresql_tune_total_memory: "{{ ansible_memtotal_mb }}MB"

  tasks:
  - name: Tune Postgresql
    postgresql_tune:
      db_version: "{{ postgresql_version }}"
      db_type: "{{ postgresql_tune_db_type }}"
      total_memory: "{{ postgresql_tune_total_memory }}"
      postgresql_file: "{{ postgresql_conf_directory }}/conf.d/99-postgresql-tune.conf"

Postgres 9.1 (with changes to kernel SHM settings and setting a max_connections)

  vars:
    postgresql_version: 9.6
    postgresql_conf_directory: /etc/postgresql/9.6
    postgresql_tune_db_type: web
    postgresql_tune_total_memory: "{{ ansible_memtotal_mb }}MB"
    postgresql_tune_sysctl_file: /etc/sysctl.d/99-postgresql-tune.conf
    postgresql_tune_connections: 50

  tasks:
  - name: Tune Postgresql
    postgresql_tune:
      db_version: "{{ postgresql_version }}"
      db_type: "{{ postgresql_tune_db_type }}"
      total_memory: "{{ postgresql_tune_total_memory }}"
      max_connections: "{{ postgresql_tune_connections }}"
      postgresql_file: "{{ postgresql_conf_directory }}/conf.d/99-postgresql-tune.conf"
      sysctl_file: "{{ postgresql_postgresql_tune_sysctl_file }}"
