However From our data we have seen that the restart_lsn movement of the two are not in syncand most of the time one of them lags too far behind to hold the WAL files unnecessarily.

Since the restart_lsn is not moving fast enough, causing lot of issues with WAL log file management and not allowingto delete them to free up disk space > What is this setFlushLsn? I am not able to find in the PG-code. If it is some outside code reference then please provide the link to code. In general, the restart_lsn and confirmed_flush_lsn are advanced in different ways so you might see some difference but it should not be this much. The confirmed_flush_lsn is updated when we get confirmation from the downstream node about the flush_lsn but restart_lsn is only incremented based on the LSN required by the oldest in-progress transaction. > > Please note that for the second slot we are not doing reading from the stream rather just sending the feedback. > Here does the second slot refers to 'shared' or 'private'? It is not very clear what you mean by "we are not doing reading from the stream', do you mean to say that decoding happens in the slot but the output plugin just throws away the streamed data and in the end just send the feedback? -- With Regards, Amit Kapila.
