Hi, When I read the docs for pg_file_settings view on pg_file_settings <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/view-pg-file-settings.html>
.... This view is helpful for checking whether planned changes in the configuration files will work, or for diagnosing a previous failure. Note that this view reports on the current contents of the files, not on what was last applied by the server. (The pg_settings view is usually sufficient to determine that.) But the following test shows the opposite. When the parameter value is "on" for *log_connections, *there is *no error for value*, which is the expected case. But If I change the value in postgresql.conf to *"dummy"* then re-run the query, this time *I expected the error column to show error*,* but again it is null, *which means, I potentially apply this value to the parameter. Is there something I am missing? Client and server is 16.1 from the RPM package. [image: image.png]
