Looks like this is happening at each 2 minutes, so it is probably some
monitoring tool (like Nagios, Cacti, Zabbix, etc.) is opening a socket to
PostgreSQL's port only to check if it is responding, and them
disconnecting. Check if you have this kind of service on your environment.
You would have the same effect with nc:
$ nc -zv <host> 5432
As what you can do, if that is the case, just ignore this message, it
should cause no harm.

It means that some piece of software is trying, incorrectly, to connect to
PostgreSQL. The server is probably just fine but you should probably hunt
down the other side of the connections and see what is wrong there - or
block them if the other end isn't something you want trying to connect to
your database.

These might be entirely reasonable checks to see if the service is up
and running from monitoring systems. That's certainly not unheard of
and it'd actually be nice if we had a way to avoid having these errors
get thrown in that case. Even better would be making the monitoring
systems smarter, but that's not always easily done.
Thanks!
Stephen
