Why is "skipping missing configuration file" repeatedly appearing in Aurora PostgreSQL logs after upgrading from 11 to 16?

1

After upgrading an Aurora PostgreSQL cluster from 11.21 to 16.1 using a blue-green deployment, we're seeing a bunch of log statements that don't make sense.

For example, after rebooting the writer instance, we see:

2024-02-14 19:12:37.392 GMT [542] LOG: skipping missing configuration file "/rdsdbdata/config/recovery.conf"

We're observing no other symptoms of a problem. Everything appears to be working well.

The ones that seems most concerning are the "skipping missing configuration file" messages. Are these anything to be concerned about?

I know the parameter groups are working. I've changed parameters in the group, and the expected values appear via SHOW ALL in psql.

  • Same things happen here. We upgraded postgreSQL RDS from v12 to v15. recovery.conf has been discontinued since v12, but the warning about missing file keeps coming.
