Connection remains idle for more than 15 minutes, then the connection drops by IPVS setting in k8s kube-proxy

[M Tarkeshwar Rao]

Hi all,

"
We are using libpq c client (Version : 14.10) of postgresql in our application 
to connect with postgresql database server (Version 14.10).
For making connection we are using libpq's API "PQsetdbLogin()".

Problem Statement : If our connection remains idle for more than 15 minutes, 
then the connection drops by IPVS setting in k8s kube-proxy.

Query : Is there any way we can provide values of "keepalives_idle, 
keepalives_interval, keepalives_count" client parameters in the API 
"PQsetdbLogin()" while creating the connection.
        If yes, then can someone please provide the sample code for the same.
                             We need these parameters support at client side 
only.
"

Is there any other alternative approach using some configuration files from 
client side?

Thanks,
Tarkeshwar
