Hi,

We are running a web application making connections to postgres using jdbc. It is fairly database intensive, but we find the logs filled with the following dump. What could be the possible causes for this ?

The probable cause is something connecting to port 5432 and then
disconnecting without sending anything.  The fact that the occurrences
are exactly a minute apart suggests that it's some sort of monitoring
tool.  I've heard that there's stuff out there that makes a cheesy probe
that Postgres is "up" by just seeing if it can connect to 5432.
