Your requirements include: " I need all the host IPs making a
connection to Postgres Cluster (even for a fraction of second)."
The only way to do this is to log every connection. Any other approach
for grabbing the data, such as looking at pg_stat_activity, will
sometimes miss one.
If you're willing to lose a connection sometimes, a cron job that polls
pg_stat_activity and saves a summary of what it finds will normally use
less resources. But connections that start and end between runs will be
missed.
