That is a good idea.  This version only suppresses error messages
in ordinary backend processes.

Subject: [PATCH v3] Add parameter log_suppress_errcodes

The parameter contains a list of SQLSTATEs for which
FATAL and ERROR messages are not logged.  This is to
suppress messages that are of little interest to the
database administrator, but tend to clutter the log.

+        The value is a comma-separated list of five-character error codes as

+        represents a class of errors (ends with three zeros) suppresses logging
+        of all error codes within that class.  For example, the entry
+        <literal>08000</literal> (<literal>connection_exception</literal>)
+        would suppress an error with code <literal>08P01</literal>
+        (<literal>protocol_violation</literal>).  The default setting is

+
+       <para>
+        This setting is useful to exclude error messages from the log that are

+        big.  For example, if you have a monitoring system that regularly
+        establishes a TCP connection to the server without sending a correct
+        startup packet, you could suppress the protocol violation errors by
