Postgresql Writer cause crashed?

1

Hello everyone, I’m currently using Zeek version 6.0.2 and running it with the PostgreSQL Writer plugin. However, my program frequently crashes. It crashed at 05:00 AM today, it seems like my postgresql server was dead but it still working normally. I’m not sure how to investigate this issue further or what specific approaches I can take to troubleshoot it.
