We have PostgreSQL 15 and PostgreSQL 17 databases running in separate environments on different servers. Each database is approximately 1.5 TB in size and highly active, generating around 500 GB of archive logs per day. We have VM SRM replication configured.
The archive log partition reaches 95–100% utilization before backups are taken. After the backups are completed, we must manually remove the archived log files to free up space.
Could you please advise whether PostgreSQL has any built-in parameters or mechanisms to automatically delete archived log files once they have been successfully backed up?
