To detect network issues maybe you could monitor replication delay.

Hello PostgreSQL Community!

I faced an issue on my linux machine using Postgres 11.3 .
I have 2 nodes in db cluster: master and standby.
I tried to perform a plenty of long-running  queries which lead to the databases desynchronization:
terminating walsender process due to replication timeout

Here is the output in debug mode:

The issue is reproducible. I configure 2 nodes cluster, download demo_small.zip from https://edu.postgrespro.ru/ and run the following command:
psql -U user1 -f demo_small.sql db1
and I get the observed behaviour.


I know that I can increase wal_sender_timeout value to avoid this behaviour (currently wal_sender_timeout is equal to 1 second.)
To be honest I don't want to increase wal_sender_timeout because I would like to detect some network issues quickly.

After having googled I found that someone faced a similar issue https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/e082a56a-fd95-a250-3bae-0fff93832510@2ndquadrant.com which was fixed in  PostgreSQL 9.4.16.


Is my issue the same as described here https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/e082a56a-fd95-a250-3bae-0fff93832510@2ndquadrant.com ?
Is there any  other chance to avoid it without increasing wal_sender_timeout?


Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Andrei
