(That was also the assumption in the previous messages. If that's not happening, then i would really investigate.) That is, if during your cloning only a few WAL files were generated, then it is not enough to trigger a checkpoint and you fallback to the 30 minutes. I would not be bothered if i were you, but can always force a checkpoint on the master issuing: CHECKPOINT ; at that stage, on the standby logs you will see the messages: restartpoint starting: .. restartpoint complete: .. regards, fabio pardi > > בתאריך יום ב׳, 27 במאי 2019 ב-14:04 מאת Fabio Pardi <f.pardi@xxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:f.pardi@xxxxxxxxxxxx>>: > > If you did not even see this messages on your standby logs: > > restartpoint starting: xlog > > then it means that the checkpoint was even never started. > > In that case, I have no clue. > > Try to describe step by step how to reproduce the problem together with > your setup and the version number of Postgres and repmgr, and i might be > able to help you further. > > regards, > > fabio pardi > > On 5/27/19 12:17 PM, Mariel Cherkassky wrote: > > standby_mode = 'on' > > primary_conninfo = 'host=X.X.X.X user=repmgr connect_timeout=10 ' > > recovery_target_timeline = 'latest' > > primary_slot_name = repmgr_slot_1 > > restore_command = 'rsync -avzhe ssh > > postgres@x.x.x.x:/var/lib/pgsql/archive/%f /var/lib/pgsql/archive/%f ; > > gunzip < /var/lib/pgsql/archive/%f > %p' > > archive_cleanup_command = '/usr/pgsql-9.6/bin/pg_archivecleanup > > /var/lib/pgsql/archive %r' > > > > בתאריך יום ב׳, 27 במאי 2019 ב-12:29 מאת Fabio Pardi > > <f.pardi@xxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:f.pardi@xxxxxxxxxxxx> <mailto:f.pardi@xxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:f.pardi@xxxxxxxxxxxx>>>: > > > > Hi Mariel, > > > > let s keep the list in cc... > > > > settings look ok. > > > > what's in the recovery.conf file then? > > > > regards, > > > > fabio pardi > > > > On 5/27/19 11:23 AM, Mariel Cherkassky wrote: > > > Hey, > > > the configuration is the same as in the primary : > > > max_wal_size = 2GB > > > min_wal_size = 1GB > > > wal_buffers = 16MB > > > checkpoint_completion_target = 0.9 > > > checkpoint_timeout = 30min > > > > > > Regarding your question, I didnt see this message (consistent recovery > > > state reached at), I guess thats why the secondary isnt avaialble > > yet.. > > > > > > Maybe I'm wrong, but what I understood from the documentation- restart > > > point is generated only after the secondary had a checkpoint wihch > > means > > > only after 30 minutes or after max_wal_size is reached ?
