List,

Could someone point out how can I trace what causes the edb-postgres
process with %CPU usage reaching 73 to 80.1 percentage in this box.
What's wrong with the server VM..

The clients connecting the databases experience slow responses ..

The top out put of the DB server is pasted below..

Any hints much appreciated to trouble shoot this unusual load on the
server instance.

Thank you,
Krishane.
