Re: PostgreSQL 9.2 high replication lag
Hello guys.
After setting max_standby_streaming_delay to 120s it got a lot better. But the replication delay is still happening quite often, except this time goes up to 120s only.
I know that max_standby_streaming_delay stands for how long the standby server should wait before canceling standby queries that conflict with about-to-be-applied WAL entries, but this is causing some headache and I was wondering if you guys have other suggestions?
What I could do next? Do you think by upgrading PostgreSQL from 9.2 to 13 will somehow improve that?

Version 9.2 is very old and has a lot of issues related to streaming replication. Additionally, it is already EOL.Agreed.Furthermore, max_standby_streaming_delay has no relation with the streaming lag. It's associated with queries conflicting with data. This parameter will not speed up the WAL apply operation.Yes, I know. But this parameter determines how long the standby server should wait before canceling standby queries that conflict with about-to-be-applied WAL entries. So, there could be lots of queries conflicting with about-to-be-applied WAL entries.Again, I was not sure about what is causing the delay so I needed to try any possibility.Kindly consider upgrading to a supported version.Yes. We have a project in progress to upgrade.On top of that, I can say that I have restarted the slave and the replication is now normal.You can see above that the replication delay is not passing 3 minutes, which is the max_standby_streaming_delay, but the actual average is 5 seconds. So, looks like rebooting the EC2 instance resolved the issue, but I do not know why.
