In response to Re: libpq heartbeat  (Tom Lane <tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us>)
List pgsql-general
Thank you all for your feedback. I've checked both server and client side and :

a) libpq by default enables keepalive
b) in postgresql.conf tcp_keepalives_idle=0 (default setting) means - apply system default

Is there any chance that it's NOT fired on RHEL7 acting as SQL server for some reasons? I'll be able to check this next morning.

Regards
Marcin

Yes, but there are equivalent libpq parameters for firing heartbeat
pings from the client side.  Those are per-connection.
