Usually, such requirement is fullfilled by a monitoring system. Eg. Nagios,
Zabbix, Munin, and so on.

Considering the replication check or lag check, we are using
check_pgactivity[1] (see releases [2]). See its "streaming_delta" service. If
you don't use Nagios or a compatible derivative, writing a wrapper around this
script is quite easy to do.
