Re: PGBOUNCER ISSUE PLEASE HELP(Slowing down the site)

Hi Ken/ Will

I have checked the ulimit value and we are nowhere hitting the max 4096 that we have currently set. Is there any other explanation why we should be thinking of bumping it to like ulimit -n 50000 ( Add ulimit -n 50000 to the start of whatever you use to start pgbouncer (init script, etc..)) even though we are not reaching 4096 max value

Regards

I would bump your open files as was suggested in your pgbouncer start script.
