Hi all, I'm currently using PostgreSQL 9.2. I noticed that the wal_files are being generated by the master well, no problems. But on the slaves, it seems to be a delay to the delivery of those wal_files.
I got two slaves using streaming replication and wal files shipment from Master. *On the master:* ls -ltr /var/lib/pgsql/9.2/data/pg_xlogs/ > Aug 4 02:18 000000020000159D000000D1 > Aug 4 02:18 000000020000159D000000D2 > Aug 4 02:18 000000020000159D000000D3 select * from pg_current_xlog_location(); > 159D/D6C8DAF8 So, seems to be ok. *On the slave:* ls -ltr /var/lib/pgsql/9.2/wal_archive: > Aug 4 00:58 000000020000159C00000071 > Aug 4 00:58 000000020000159C00000072 > Aug 4 00:58 000000020000159C00000073 See the time difference? 2 hours? It seems the files are being delivered with 2 hours delay. The streaming replication is working fine... But if that goes down, I'll need the wal_files up to date to recover the database. How can I see what's going on? What would be the steps? any tips? Cheers Patrick.
