Yes, I have read the manual and seen this. It pauses the replication (select pg_is_wal_replay_paused()). But on the primary, when I look at pg_stat_replication, it still says 'streaming' in the state column. My question was how do I get it from 'streaming' to anything else? (https://www.postgresql.org/docs/11/monitoring-stats.html#PG-STAT-REPLICATION-VIEW) ?
I want to trigger an alert when 'streaming' isn't there. Or is there a better way to do it?

By reading the fine manual:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/functions-admin.html#FUNCTIONS-RECOVERY-CONTROL-TABLE
The function you are looking for is pg_wal_replay_pause().
