Hello,
I'm trying to do a simple health check for keepalived and other services via a python script and psycopg2 library. All seems to be all right, until I close the connection, at which point a packet with TCP reset is produced.
This has become very problematic and creates extensive noise in monitoring.
It also happens with IntelliJ DataGrip provided Java driver and PHP drivers. And hence I do not think this is the drivers problem, but PG instead.
Script
import psycopg2
import sys
def check(): # Relying on .pgpass for password con = psycopg2.connect('user=monitoring dbname=postgres host=127.0.0.1') cur = con.cursor() cur.execute("select 'keepalived healthcheck'") cur.close() con.close()
try: check() print("ok")
except Exception as e: print("not ok") print(str(e)) sys.exit(1)
tcpdump tcpdump -v 'tcp[tcpflags] & (tcp-rst) != 0' -ilo
16:27:45.307006 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 8123, offset 0, flags [DF], proto TCP (6), length 40) localhost.40797 > localhost.postgres: Flags [R], cksum 0x0cca (correct), seq 3830516781, win 0, length 0
From PG side of things, all seems to be OK

I've tried various combinations of OS, psycopg2 and PG versions to no avail. My focus has been to reproduce with this driver only.
OS: Centos 7 and Ubuntu 18.04psycopg2: From latest down to 2.7.x PG: Latest 11 down to 9.4 (we use 9.4-bdr currently in production)
I can not reproduce this, when SSL has been disabled on PG. However this is not a solution, as we are committed to use SSL for all our connections to DB.
Has anyone experienced this and could share any advice how I could prevent this from producing network packets with TCP [R] flag ?
Thank you very much in advance and any advice will be much appreciated.
P.S. I've also posted this on following channels:
Med vennlig hilsen.
Best regards, Janis Puris.
