Settings advisor

The settings advisor helps you to identify which configuration settings could improve the performance of your system.

The advisor automatically analyzes your current configuration; if suboptimal settings are found, it shows a notification when EXPLAIN is run. More details about suboptimal settings is shown when EXPLAIN VERBOSE is run. The settings advisor only covers some PostgreSQL server settings, for a full list of recommendations see Recommended PostgreSQL settings. Furthermore, it recommends tuning the operating system as described in Tune operating system.
