To whom it may concern:
We have a 2 nodes postgres cluster, postgres server v9.3.8 and repmgr is
used to enable the cluster function. barman v1.4.1 is used to take backup of
the master postgres node.
everything seems to be working except the wal files in pg_xlog on node1
keeps accumulating.
Well below you have:
wal_keep_segments = 2000
That means at least 2000 WAL files will be kept around.
How many files do you see in pg_xlog?
there is a backup file everytime the backup happens under the pg_xlog
directory.
-rw------- 1 postgres postgres 327 Aug 28 02:33
000000230000000F00000075.00000028.backup
pg_xlog/archive_status shows that archive is up to date.
-rw------- 1 postgres postgres 16777216 Aug 28 15:46

-rw------- 1 postgres postgres 16777216 Aug 28 16:00
000000230000000F0000009C
inside of archive_status the latest is 09B
-rw------- 1 postgres postgres 0 Aug 28 15:46 000000230000000F0000009B.done
it seems that wal files are not being removed after archive. i read
archive_cleanup? do i need to set it up for wal files clean up? if so how to
do that?
Thank you in advance!
