cause of the next one:

2016-03-02 14:58:09 EST [14366]: [11-1] HINT: Enable the "track_counts" option.

Or both changes, or something else entirely?

I'd be interested to hear how you perceived these log messages and
what you think might help the next person.

I can tell you that as I read them, they meant nothing and I know what they mean. This is why:

2016-03-02 14:58:09 EST [14366]: [8-1] LOG: could not resolve "localhost": Name or service not known 2016-03-02 14:58:09 EST [14366]: [9-1] LOG: disabling statistics collector for lack of working socket

Why would I care about a "LOG" message. Generally speaking they don't tell us anything useful. If, it was:

ERROR: could not resolve "localhost" ...
ERROR: Disabling statistics collector ....

It would mean a whole lot more. The second set makes sense to me but what isn't clear is that the first one is really an error that can cause the warnings of the second.

I do think that it should be an error if we are disabling statistics due to something being wrong. We can't really operate properly without them.

Sincerely,

JD
