Hello,
Thank You for the response.

Yes that's possible to monitor replication delay. But my questions were not about monitoring network issues.

I use exactly wal_sender_timeout=1s because it allows to detect replication problems quickly.
So, I need clarification to the following  questions:
Is  it possible to use exactly this configuration and be sure that it will be work properly.
What did I do wrong? Should I correct my configuration somehow?
Is this the same issue  as mentioned here:
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/e082a56a-fd95-a250-3bae-0fff93832510@2ndquadrant.com ? If it is so, why I do I face this problem again?

Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Andrei

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
