So, LifeKeeper default setting of LKPGSQLDEBUG=5 on
/etc/default/LifeKeeper was the culprit for this issue, probably by
starting postmaster with -d5 option.
Thank you for pointing us to the right direction. -Kong From: kong_mansatiansin@xxxxxxxxxxx To: tgl@xxxxxxxxxxxxx CC: pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: log_min_messages=debug5, despite an explicit setting to warning on postgresql.conf Date: Sun, 23 Dec 2012 21:59:35 -0800
Hi Tom, Thank you for some clue in this. So, I assume changing log_destination (from syslog to stderr) was a way around it to override log_min_messages when the -d option is specified? I am checking with the vender, SIOS, on what scenarios LifeKeeper would start up PostgreSQL with the -d5 option.

We noticed that the database was 1000 times slower than it usually is, then realized that the log_min_messages setting was set to 'debug5' for no reason. > > How was the postmaster started?
