Description:
Dear Team,
We have postgresql database version 9.5.9 in production set up.We
occasionally face below error.So we need to restart application process to
fix it.(droped connection from application end and start again) but its not
ideal solution.
Error :-
org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: An I/O error occurred while sending to
the backend.
Caused by: java.net.SocketException: Connection reset by peer: socket write
error
We need help to fix this error.
Probably a firewall or gateway dropping the connections that they perceive as being idle. What does the PostgreSQL server log have to say about it? If both ends accuse the other of closing the connection, it is probably due to active interference.
Seems like your application should be designed to recover from this without a full restart.
Cheers,
Jeff

Yeah, that's what it looks like to me too. > Seems like your application should be designed to recover from this without > a full restart. That's not a bad idea, but you can probably also alleviate the problem by enabling TCP keepalives on the connection. PG has both server-side and client-side (at least in libpq) options for that. Should be sufficient to turn it on at just one end. regards, tom lane
