I'm still trying to catch from where (i.e. from which client connection) the above
message are originated. Over the actual weeken(!), I see the following
picture:
# egrep 'bogus|incomplete message from|invalid length' /data/postgresql11/data/serverlog
...
2020-05-09 05:35:20.124 CEST [6905] LOG: invalid length 33554940 of startup packet
2020-05-09 05:35:20.368 CEST [6907] LOG: invalid length 33554940 of startup packet

2020-05-10 05:34:56.716 CEST [13241] LOG: invalid length 33554940 of startup packet
2020-05-10 05:34:56.942 CEST [13243] LOG: invalid length 33554940 of startup packet

2020-05-10 05:37:49.577 CEST [14017] LOG: invalid length 33554940 of startup packet
i.e. the messages only appear short after 5:3x am; this is exactly the
time when (based on cronjobs) our software is deployed to this server
and all servers (the clients for PostgreSQL) are started. Following
questions:
1. In addition to the above code, can I get somehow the connecting client's PID? If
so, I could get from its PID its command line from the /proc file
system. This would help to instrument the client side with logging.
There are some hundred clients of different server types booting up
at this time frame after the deployment.
2. Can I get something out of the buffer of the startup packet? For
example, with adding to the above change something like:
{
char buf[1024+1];
memset (buf, 0, sizeof(buf));
pq_getbytes(buf, 1024);
buf[1024] = '\0';
ereport(COMMERROR, (errcode(ERRCODE_PROTOCOL_VIOLATION),
errmsg("first 1024 bytes of startup packet [%s]", buf)));
}
Thanks
