Type: string
Default: postgres

Restart: false

When logging to syslog is enabled, this parameter determines the program name used to identify PostgreSQL messages in syslog logs. The default is postgres. This parameter can only be set in the postgresql.conf file or on the server command line.

Recommendations

If using a centralized logserver or if you have multiple Postgres instances, you probably want to identify your postgresql instance by hostname.
