PG_STAT_REPLICATION

PG_STAT_REPLICATION displays information about the log synchronization thread, such as the locations where the sender sends logs and where the receiver receives logs.

state

text

State of the log synchronization thread:

  • startup: The thread is being started.
  • catchup: The thread is establishing a connection between the standby server and the primary server.
  • streaming: The thread has established a connection between the standby server and the primary server and is replicating data streams.
  • backup: The thread is sending a backup.
  • stopping: The thread is being stopped.

sender_sent_location

text

Location where the sender sends logs

receiver_write_location

text

Location where the receiver writes logs

receiver_flush_location

text

Location where the receive end flushes logs

receiver_replay_location

text

Location where the receive end replays logs

sync_priority

integer

Priority of synchronous duplication (0 indicates asynchronization.)

sync_state

text

Synchronization state

  • async: asynchronous replication.
  • sync: synchronous replication.
  • potential: The standby server is asynchronous currently, but if a current synchronization server fails, the standby server becomes synchronous.
  • quorum: switches between the synchronous and asynchronous states to ensure that there are more than a certain number of synchronous standby servers. Generally, the number of synchronous standby servers is (n+1)/2-1, where n indicates the total number of copies. Whether the standby server is synchronous depends on whether logs are received first. For details, see the description of the synchronous_standby_names parameter.
