I'm working on an implementation of PostgreSQL 13.8 on a Linux RHEL8
sandbox environment.
The server & PostgreSQL have all been configured.
I started
PostgreSQL & got the following messages in the log file:
2022-09-16 02:00:16 EDT [1918984]: [3-1] db=,user= LOG: starting PostgreSQL 13.8 on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc (GCC) 8.5.0 20210514 (Red Hat 8.5.0-10), 64-bit

2022-09-16 02:00:17 EDT [1918984]: [10-1] db=,user= LOG: database system is ready to accept connections
I'm concerned about the "test message did not get through on socket for statistics collector" & "trying another address for the statistics collector" messages.
I've never seen these before & wasn't able to find anything about them via a Google search. What I did find, talked about the unix socket directories. I left that parameter at the default setting:
#unix_socket_directories = '/var/run/postgresql, /tmp' # comma-separated list of directories
I checked both of those locations & found the following entries:
[postgres@xxxxxx ~]$ ls -al /var/run/postgresql/
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 2 postgres postgres 80 Sep 16 02:00 .
drwxr-xr-x 30 root root 900 Aug 31 13:17 ..
srwxrwxrwx 1 postgres postgres 0 Sep 16 02:00 .s.PGSQL.5432
-rw------- 1 postgres postgres 67 Sep 16 02:00 .s.PGSQL.5432.lock
[postgres@xxxxxx ~]$ cat /var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432.lock
1918984
/var/lib/pgsql/13/data
1663308016
5432
/var/run/postgresql
[postgres@xxxxxx ~]$ ls -al /tmp/ | grep .s.PGSQL
srwxrwxrwx 1 postgres postgres 0 Sep 16 02:00 .s.PGSQL.5432
-rw------- 1 postgres postgres 52 Sep 16 02:00 .s.PGSQL.5432.lock
[postgres@xxxxxx ~]$ cat /tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432.lock
1918984
/var/lib/pgsql/13/data
1663308016
5432
/tmp
Is there anything that I should be concerned about regarding these messages or are they normal?
Also, should I change the unix_socket_directories
parm to just have one directory? In past versions of PostgreSQL, we've just had one directory:
#unix_socket_directories = '/tmp'
