As long as the connection stays up yes data gets fine across
In pg_stat_activity I see the node ip address where tail -f piped into psql happens
So what does the rest of that record show? In particular for:
I wonder how often data gets put into the pipe. If it's "not very often",
maybe the connection from psql to the server is timing out due to
inactivity? This would be the fault of a firewall or something in
between. You could probably fix it by enabling (more aggressive) TCP
keepalive settings.

Well there is no flow pattern, The flow can be inexistent for days , even weeks and then it can get super busy
The data flows as expected well untill the connection gets dropped. Bolded from pg_stat_activity (a test I just did)
birstdb=# select datname, pid, client_addr, client_port, backend_start, query_start, state from pg_stat_Activity;
datname | pid | client_addr | client_port | backend_start | query_start | state
---------+-------+---------------+-------------+-------------------------------+-------------------------------+--------

Give it about 10 min at most and bam out it goes
birstdb=# select datname, pid, client_addr, client_port, backend_start, query_start, state from pg_stat_Activity;
datname | pid | client_addr | client_port | backend_start | query_start | state

Although the above two processes are still out
I think the tcp keep alives might help but I am also thinking like a each min check maybe and if things got in the pipe well dump ‘em to Postgres. Something along these lines
Any ideas/suggestions you might have to improve this ? I am not saying it is perfect far from it, but I kinda took the model/idea from the Nagios named pipe only that one too runs at x seconds/minutes interval defined
Thank you both
