Connection remains idle for more than 15 minutes, then the connection drops by IPVS setting in k8s kube-proxy

Hi Tarkesh,

“

We are using libpq c client (Version : 14.10) of postgresql in our application to connect with postgresql database server (Version 14.10).

For making connection we are using libpq's API "PQsetdbLogin()".

Problem Statement : If our connection remains idle for more than 15 minutes, then the connection drops by IPVS setting in k8s kube-proxy.

Query : Is there any way we can provide values of "keepalives_idle, keepalives_interval, keepalives_count" client parameters in the API "PQsetdbLogin()" while creating the connection.

        If yes, then can someone please provide the sample code for the same.

                             We need these parameters support at client side only.

“

Is there any other alternative approach using some configuration files from client side?

Thanks,

Tarkeshwar
