Hi Atul

Start by looking at the current WAL LSN and insert LSN. The
pg_current_wal_lsn is the location of the last write. The
pg_current_wal_insert_lsn is the logical location and reflects data in the
buffer that has not been written to disk. There is also a flush value that
shows what has been written to durable storage.

[postgres] # select pg_current_wal_lsn(), pg_current_wal_insert_lsn();
 pg_current_wal_lsn | pg_current_wal_insert_lsn
--------------------+---------------------------
 76/7D000000        | 76/7D000028
(1 row)

Although you can guess the name of the WAL file based on the above
output, it is best to use the pg_walfile_name function.


[postgres] # select pg_walfile_name('76/7D000028');
     pg_walfile_name
--------------------------
 00000001000000760000007D
(1 row)
