Author FATAL error frontend message invalid
Cedric BUSCHINI

Hello all,

I have a "weird" fatal line in logs:
FATAL: invalid frontend message type 48

From what I've found it's from the client (protocol), but I cannot
figure out what is the problem.

Any one got a clue ?

thx

Ceders

Do you run any net management s/w on your network?
Is the FATAL msg periodical at a specific period?
Can you run a net sniffer (like tcpdump) on the pgsql server during
the (predicted) time of the FATAL msg?

48 == ASCII '0', so I'm betting that this represents the backend
thinking that a new message starts in the middle of some text.
In other words, most likely the client sent a malformed message.

You need to figure out exactly which client is causing it ---
enabling log_connections and adding ID info to log_line_prefix
may help.
