I’m curious how others are cleaning up their WAL archive files and other miscellany created by the process. Here’s my setup: Server A: archive_command executes a script that rsync’s the archive file to a local folder and a matching folder on the standby server (does not mirror the folder, just pushes the file twice) Server B: recovery.conf archive_cleanup_command uses pg_archivecleanup to clean the standby archive folder and sends log output to a cleanup.log file What I’m left with: -
WAL archive files on the Master server that only get cleaned up if I fail over and recover using a new pg_basebackup from Server B to Server A -
.history and .backup files on the standby server -
Entries in the cleanup.log file Right now, I’m thinking my cleanup will involve (every 6 months): -
Failing over my cluster (kidding) -
Truncating the cleanup.log file -
?? with .history and .backup files What are you doing? |
