Re: PG how to stop streaming replication( master host)

Thank you Scott, this will only pause the WAL's  .

if you have a lot of activity happening in master while slave  db is been backup this can fail behind a lot and eventually can fill up /wal directory. I also use the option you mentioned , but I was looking for an option to actually disable the replication at master  host completely  since I must insert 200GB of content in db and  next I can re-enable replication using  resync slave with master ( pg_restore). I  am trying to have  the replication disabled while I am loading that amount of data to not affect  the performance of insert   .

I use this during my backups to have a consistent state on my multiple slaves.

Hi List

I am running PGSLQ 10.4 with repmgr in synchronous streaming replication  2 servers: master+slave, I would like to learn if there are any  options to stop replication ( no just  pause /resume  the WAL's) master to slave without  rebooting the master server  or the only option  is to take  the  Pg db slave host down and eventually the  the /wal directory will get 100% full .
