Hi all, is there any way to figure out why particular postgres process takes more and more memory during the day? This process performes order data queries coming from order management system - exchange system. Normally it's about 0,5mln messages per day but after aprox 4h postgres process occupies :

PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
11920 pgsql 20 0 17,6g 9,7g 566572 S 2,6 10,4 2:40.47 postgres

Perhaps dev guys (our team) should change something inside our system or it's postgresql conf matter? Postgres engine is 9.6.7. Any hint on this please?

Thx
Marcin
