I'm running postgres 9.6.2 (also happened on 9.3.14) and have a cron job that runs hourly that runs a program that does mostly postgres SELECTs on a different host. Occasionally I get email (not hourly) from the cron daemon that contains a stack trace that ends with this:
sqlalchemy.exc.OperationalError: (psycopg2.OperationalError) could not translate host name "db3.labmed.uw.edu" to address: Name or service not known It has happened about 9 times so far this month. I have one of our network people look into this but there is no real answer. I could use the IP address but I'd rather not. This problem only happens on one host. I moved the data from db2 to db3. I was getting similar emails regarding db2 which runs the older postgres. Any ideas on how to proceed?
