+ Although logs directed to stderr may be written
+ to the filesystem, when the writing of stderr is
+ managed outside of the PostgreSQL database
+ server the location of such files in the filesystem is not reflected in
+ the content of current_logfiles. One such case is
+ when the pg_ctl command is used to start
+ the postgres database server, capture
+ the stderr output of the server, and direct it to a
+ file.
+
+ There are other notable situations related
+ to stderr logging.
+ Non-PostgreSQL log sources, such as 3rd party
+ libraries, which deliver error messages directly
+ to stderr are always logged
+ by PostgreSQL
+ to stderr. Stderr is also the
+ destination for any incomplete log messages produced by
+ PostgreSQL. When

+ current_logfiles does not not contain the name of the
+ file where these sorts of log messages are written.

+ is present only when is
+ activated and when at least one of stderr or
+ csvlog value is present in

+
+ On a busy system current_logfiles might not be
+ updated immediately upon logfile rotation. On an extremely busy system it
+ is possible, although highly unlikely, for a logfile to be "skipped" and
+ never appear in current_logfiles.
