If you want to find the lag in seconds, then you need to execute something like below.
SELECT
SELECT
pg_last_xact_replay_timestamp() - now();

My question is this: what does that number represent? Is it just the log position? If so, how does the log position translate to queries? Does one log position = one query? (I did say this was a newb question.)Newb question here. I have streaming replication working with 9.2 and I'm using Bucardo's check_postgres.pl to monitor replication. I see that it runs this query on the slave:That returns hex, which is then converted to a number in the script.
SELECT pg_last_xlog_receive_location() AS receive, pg_last_xlog_replay_location() AS replay
How do I determine a meaningful alert threshold for that value? Is there a reliable way to monitor replication lag in seconds? How do other people handle this?
