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

As what you can do, if that is the case, just ignore this message, it
should cause no harm.
