This seems wrong to me. The counter is not for invalidated slots, it's for
recovery conflict interrupts. If phrased that way, the parenthetical would be
unnecessary.
I think something like
Number of uses of logical slots in this database that have been
canceled due to old snapshots or a too low <xref
linkend="guc-wal-level"/>
on the primary
would work and fit with the documentation of the other fields? Reads a bit
stilted, but so do several of the other fields...
