Hi Atul,

Please do not cross-post over mailing lists.

As per your problem:

on a streaming replication setup, all changes applied to master are propagated to standby(s).

If standby is stopped or cannot temporary reach master, then it will pick up changes when started or when can reach
masteragain, given that the initial state was in sync with the master.
 

What stated here above is always true, but there are cases in which too many changes are pushed to master and standby
isnot able to pick them up.
 

In order for standby to pick the missing data, is fundamental that the WAL files containing the changes are available
tostandby or in alternative wal_keep_segments is 'large enough'.
 

A good starting point to debug the situation are the logfiles of standby server, together with pg_stat_replication
table.


Also handy to run on master:

SELECT pg_current_xlog_location() and on standby: select pg_last_xlog_receive_location() to understand if it is picking
up.Documentation is always a good starting point to understand what is going on. If you did not already, have a look
here:https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/static/runtime-config-replication.html Hope it helps, Fabio
