Looks like this is happening at each 2 minutes, so it is probably some monitoring tool (like Nagios, Cacti, Zabbix, etc.) is opening a socket to PostgreSQL's port only to check if it is responding, and them disconnecting. Check if you have this kind of service on your environment.
You would have the same effect with nc:
$ nc -zv <host> 5432
$ nc -zv <host> 5432
As what you can do, if that is the case, just ignore this message, it should cause no harm.

Hi,
I am seeing lot of these "incomplete startup packet" messages in postgresql.log in 9.6 version, what does it mean? some thing wrong with server?
Thanks,
Ram

It means that some piece of software is trying, incorrectly, to connect to PostgreSQL. The server is probably just fine but you should probably hunt down the other side of the connections and see what is wrong there - or block them if the other end isn't something you want trying to connect to your database.

Thank you David!

These might be entirely reasonable checks to see if the service is up and running from monitoring systems. That's certainly not unheard of and it'd actually be nice if we had a way to avoid having these errors get thrown in that case. Even better would be making the monitoring systems smarter, but that's not always easily done. Thanks! Stephen
