Performance Monitoring Setup Complete - Summary

✅ All Tasks Completed (March 5, 2026)

1. ✅ Missing Indexes Added

Peoples Table:

• idx_peoples_name_lower (3.3 MB) - Case-insensitive name searches
• idx_peoples_id_name (5.4 MB) - ID+Name combo for joins

ItemValues Table:

• idx_itemvalues_cleanvalue (272 KB) - CleanValue lookups
• idx_itemvalues_value (272 KB) - Value lookups
• idx_itemvalues_id_cleanvalue (688 KB) - Join optimization

Status: Indexes created successfully. Statistics updated with ANALYZE.

---

2. ✅ Slow Query Analysis Complete

🔥 CRITICAL FINDING: 110-Second Query Identified!

Query: SELECT b."Id", b."Album", b."AlbumArtists", b."Artists"... (BaseItems)
Max Time: 110,048 ms (110 seconds!)
Avg Time: 4,442 ms
Calls: 48
Total Impact: 213 seconds cumulative
Performance Rating: 🔥 CRITICAL

Top 5 Slowest Queries:

Query Type	Max Time	Avg Time	Calls	Status
BaseItems SELECT	110.0s	4.4s	48	🔥 CRITICAL
BaseItems SELECT (variant 2)	36.3s	3.2s	76	⚠️ SLOW
BaseItems SELECT (variant 3)	26.1s	7.9s	52	⚠️ SLOW
UserData UPDATE	23.9s	0.1s	14,316	⚠️ SLOW
VACUUM ANALYZE	21.8s	21.8s	1	✅ Maintenance

Secondary Issues:

• Peoples SELECT: 12.1s max (211,825 calls)
• BaseItems UPDATE: 9.4s max (406,513 calls)

• query_analysis_2026-03-05_080020.txt - 294 KB of slow query analysis
• summary_2026-03-05_080020.txt - Quick summary

Location: reports/weekly/

To Schedule Automatically (run as Administrator):

.\scripts\Setup-Weekly-Monitor.ps1

📊 Current Database Performance Status

Critical Issues:

1. BaseItems Query - 110 Seconds 🔥

• SELECT query on BaseItems table taking up to 110 seconds
• Occurs 48 times with average of 4.4 seconds
• Total cumulative impact: 3.5 minutes of database time
• Needs immediate investigation

2. Peoples Table - 13.7 Billion Rows Read

• 144,299 sequential scans
• 13,726,323,806 rows read (13.7 BILLION!)
• New indexes added but need 24-48 hours to show impact

3. ItemValues Table - 3.7 Billion Rows Read

• 506,048 sequential scans
• 3,725,867,788 rows read (3.7 BILLION!)
• New indexes added but need monitoring

---

🎯 Next Steps (Action Plan)

Immediate (This Week):

1. Investigate the 110-Second Query

View the full query:

. .\scripts\db-config.ps1
Invoke-PSQL -File "sql\query-analysis.sql" | Select-String -Pattern "110048" -Context 5,10

Get EXPLAIN ANALYZE for the slow query:

# After identifying the exact query, run:
Invoke-PSQL -Query "EXPLAIN (ANALYZE, BUFFERS, VERBOSE) <paste_query_here>"

2. Monitor New Index Usage

Check if new indexes are being used:

. .\scripts\db-config.ps1
Invoke-PSQL -Query @"
SELECT 
    indexrelname, 
    idx_scan,
    idx_tup_read,
    pg_size_pretty(pg_relation_size(indexrelid)) AS size
FROM pg_stat_user_indexes 
WHERE schemaname = 'library' 
  AND indexrelname LIKE 'idx_%'
ORDER BY indexrelname;
"@

Run this daily to see if idx_scan increases.

3. Use Jellyfin Normally

The new indexes need actual queries to prove their value:

• Browse actors/directors (tests Peoples indexes)
• Filter by genre/tags (tests ItemValues indexes)
• Browse "Recently Added"
• Search for media

Short-Term (Next 7 Days):

1. Review First Weekly Report

Check reports/weekly/ next week (March 12, 2026):

• Compare sequential scan counts (should decrease)
• Check if new indexes show usage
• Monitor if 110s query still occurs

2. Optimize Critical Query

Once identified:

• Add specific indexes for that query pattern
• Consider query rewrite if needed
• Test with EXPLAIN ANALYZE

3. Clean Up Unused Indexes

If after 2 weeks these indexes still show 0 usage:

• PK_PeopleBaseItemMap (38 MB, 0 uses)
• IX_PeopleBaseItemMap_ItemId_ListOrder (20 MB, 0 uses)
• idx_baseitems_datecreated_filtered (14 MB, 0 uses)
