The WAL files required for the standby's recovery are not deleted from
the <filename>pg_xlog</> directory on the primary while the standby is
connected. If the standby lags far behind the primary, many WAL files
will accumulate in there, and can fill up the disk. It is therefore
important to monitor the lag to ensure the health of the standby and
to avoid disk full situations in the primary.
You can calculate the lag by comparing the current WAL write
An important health indicator of streaming replication is the amount
of WAL records generated in the primary, but not yet applied in the
standby. You can calculate this lag by comparing the current WAL write
location on the primary with the last WAL location received by the
standby. They can be retrieved using
<function>pg_current_xlog_location</> on the primary and the
