Thanks Keith I am looking something like the solution you suggested.
Once I run pg_controldata on the slave data directory it will be give me the latest checkpoint like below. Can you let me know a bit more detail on how can I get the approximate lag in the slave in bytes from this?
That I know, if standby is down, you cannot know exactly the last applied transaction log file.
But you could get a gross estimate if you check how many WAL files is the standby behind, just listing the WAL files on the master and on the standby.
Given that you can login on the standby machine.

Is it possible to figure out the replication lag from transaction log files in the slave and master without querying postgres on the slave? Basically figuring out the replication lag in a slave when the postgres is down in that slave.
