I suggest to review all the logging settings, and consider setting:
log_destination = 'stderr,csvlog'
log_checkpoints = on
log_lock_waits = on
log_min_messages = info
log_min_error_statement = notice
log_temp_files = 0
log_min_duration_statement = '9sec'
log_autovacuum_min_duration = '99sec'
You should probably set up some way to monitor logs.
We set log_destination=csvlog and import them into the DB.
Then I have nagios checks for slow queries, errors, many tempfiles, etc.
