Hi All,
I have observed one of our PostgreSQL DB instance showing two postgres process on Linux server as highlighted. The second postgres process is on and off.
We did not find any references in logs.
Please provide your advice and help on this issue.
DB version : PostgreSQL 9.5.10
Server version : RHEL 7.6
