Hello, we are running Postgres 10.5 with master slave replication. These are our custom params

But can't see it from any of the commands like top etc. I am sure it is postgres because it is the only service running on that machine. Is there anything we can do? On the sync slave, the usage is just 400MB. Any trick? Thanks a lot, Nicola
