How to set max/min connections in database monitoring using Docker env variables?

Question

Hello Community,

we want to increase the min/max values for the database connection pools using Docker environment variables instead of the dbconfig.xml file. However, the min/max values are not being updated through the Docker environment variables.

Here are the environment variables we are currently using for the database connection pools:

* ATL_DB_POOLMAXSIZE=200
* ATL_DB_POOLMINSIZE=20
* ATL_DB_MAXIDLE=200
* ATL_DB_MINIDLE=20

We have also changed the max_connections in the postgresql.conf file.

This is how our databse connection pool currently looks:

Thank you in advance

Hi @Bert van Dijk _TMC_nl_ ,

I'd like to proactively increase the number of connections to handle future load spikes and potential integrations, to ensure long-term system stability, and also to learn how to adjust it as needed.

Kind regards,

Hi @Emircan Sentürk ,

Maybe a strange question, but why would you like to change the variable? At the moment, 40 connections are available, but there is no need to change it?

Kind regards,

Bert
