I recently hit an error with our streaming replication setup:
2025-07-14 11:52:59.361 CST,"replicator","",728458,"10.9.9.74:35724",68747f1b.b1d8a,1,"START_REPLICATION",2025-07-14 11:52:59 CST,3/0,0,ERROR,58P01,"requested WAL segment 00000001000000000000000C has already been removed",,,,,,"START_REPLICATION 0/C000000 TIMELINE 1",,,"standby","walsender",,0
My question is: Can we make the primary automatically search the archive if restore_command is set?
If we talk about physical replication, then with the same success restore_command could be (and more important, it should be) used on a standby. And the main question here is why standby wasn't properly configured?
However, with logical replication it is a different story, and it would be really great if restore_command is used when WAL's are missing to fetch it.
