LOG: database system is shut downExplanation:
This event indicates a shutdown of the Postgres server, usually as part of doing a planned restart or upgrade operation.
Depending on the mode of restart (smart vs fast), currently running queries will be allowed to finish. Smart shutdown will also wait for any currently running backup to finish, which may take a while.
Note that all new connections will be rejected whilst Postgres is in the shutting down state.
Recommended Action:
When doing a smart shutdown, depending on how long the shutdown is taking, it might sometimes make sense to manually cancel queries or any running backup, to accelerate the system coming back up again.
You can cancel a currently running backup by calling pg_stop_backup() to accelerate a smart shutdown.
