"SELECT pg_last_xact_replay_timestamp()" gives you the time of the
last write. If it is not increasing, replication is broken or the
primary is idle. If it is NULL, the database is a primary or a
secondary just starting up. I think most of our are monitoring that
lag time is in a certain range - "SELECT (now() -
pg_last_xact_replay_timestamp()) < '5 minutes'::interval"
