Good afternoon,

Following below we are facing a similar issue and im getting a real buzz to get this working myself, speaking to my DBA  in the  company has actually left me a bit cold as he is not good with postgres.

So I want to try and get a solution for this and fix this issue with the pg_wal files filling up the drive at a ridiculous rate. I have been manually moving logs to a different directory but have had no luck in finding an actual solution.

The cluster is a 3 node cluster with HA which is running wirth patroni.

Please help me out, I will mention that I have test cluster spun up in case something needs testing. 

Also want to give a shout out to Lorenz Albe's for posting stuff about wal files on his company blog.

Again any help will be greatly appreciated.


" On one of our postgres instances we have the pg_wal/data folder up to 196GB, out of 200GB disk filled up.
This has stopped the posgresql.service this morning causing two applications to crash.
Unfortunately our database admin is on leave today, and we are trying to figure out how to get the disk down?
Any ideas or suggestions are more than welcome.
 
Thank you in advance."
