Yep, the real problem was all connections are used up. A ps command showed

postgres  1172 23340  1 13:00 ?        00:01:23 postgres: dbsomething
dbsomething 8.8.8.1[34024] PARSE waiting

Hmm, the above is new one to me. Some searching found this:

"It means the parse phase is waiting for a lock.  You can see exactly
what it's waiting for by looking at pg_locks "WHERE NOT GRANTED"."

If you have not already, you might want to log connections/disconnections for more insight:

When I ran *SELECT * FROM pg_stat_activity*, the state in all queries was
active and most were SELECTs, then the server did not open new connections.
I canceled many queries (only SELECTs) and server back to normal.

I understand that the principal problem probably are the application, of
that I'm sure, but in the process debug. The best way to avoid or "fix" this
are with connections pool like pgbouncer? How is the most secure way to
return connections without restart service?

Close the connection.


I never had this problem, the idle connections is the normal in almost every
database I managed, but this is new for me.

FYI there is a difference between 'idle' connections and 'idle in transaction', not sure which one you are referring to. See below for more info:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/static/monitoring-stats.html#PG-STAT-ACTIVITY-VIEW

The bottom line is connections are resources that need to be managed. To better able to do that is going to require some detective work to determine what is generating the connections and for what purpose.


Thanks for your help!
