List ,
I am trying to configure a WAL replicated standby server(EDB16) .. In the archive command I used a dedicated "/data/archive " directory for WAL archiving as follows, as I don't want any WAL overwriting in the default WAL directory and loss of WAL files.
I have
archive_command= ' cp %p /data/archive/%f '
pg_hba.conf I have
host replication all 10.255.10.0/24 md5
My doubt is whether the standby Postgres server(EDB16) reads WAL files by itself from the primary server's explicit WAL archive folder /data/archive by its own ?
OR
The standby can read only from the default WAL location ie; pg_wal directory of primary server ?
Please enlighten me.
If the standby can read only the default pg_wal folder, then how can we make the standby server to read from the explicit " /data/archive " folder for WAL syncing automatically to the standby ?
Any input is much appreciated.
Thank you,
Krishane
