Do you have frequent emergency restarts like that? You should start by
investigating on why this is happening. The logs should tell you what process
crashed and what it was executing, could you report those messages?
We will also probably need a backtrace, see
https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Getting_a_stack_trace_of_a_running_PostgreSQL_backend_on_Linux/BSD#Getting_a_trace_from_a_randomly_crashing_backend
on how do to that.
