Checking Whether the max_wal_senders Value of the Source Database Is Correctly Configured

During PostgreSQL synchronization, the max_wal_senders value of the source database must be greater than the number of used replication slots. Otherwise, the synchronization may fail.

Failure Cause

The max_wal_senders value of the source database is less than or equal to the number of used replication slots.

Handling Suggestion

Set max_wal_senders to a value greater than the number of used replication slots and restart the database to apply the changes. Run the following command to query the number of used replication slots in the current database:

select count(1) from pg_replication_slots;
