I can see on the origin node, that a COPY seems to be occurring - <b><i>can anyone tell me if this is correct?</i></b><br> 16083 postgres 20 0 212m 7876 5480 S 1.7 0.0 0:10.12 postgres: postgres mydatabase::1(39599) COPY<br><br>2. I can see on the slave node when I query sl_status that:<br> - st_last_event is <b>NOT CHANGING</b><br> - st_last_event_ts is <b>NOT CHANGING</b><br> - st_last_received is <b>NOT CHANGING</b><br> - st_last_received_ts is <b>NOT CHANGING<br> </b>- st_last_received_event_ts is <b>NOT CHANGING<br></b> - st_lag_num_events is <b>NOT CHANGING</b><br> - st_lag_time is increasing (around 18 hours)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> Are these values expected or should some of them be increasing?<br><br>3. The logs on the slave showed this when I started slony, I presume this is correct:<br> NOTICE: truncate of "public"."my_table" succeeded<br><br>4. The logs on the slave now show this repeatedly:<br> 2011-12-08 05:48:47 UTCDEBUG2 remoteListenThread_1: queue event 1,5000001502 SYNC<br> 2011-12-08 05:48:47 UTCDEBUG2 remoteListenThread_1: queue event 1,5000001503 SYNC<br> 2011-12-08 05:48:47 UTCDEBUG2 remoteListenThread_1: queue event 1,5000001504 SYNC<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>5. sl_log_1 and sl_log_2 are empty on both the master and slave – am I right in presuming these are only used when things change on an origin node and that they are not used for initial syncs?<br><br>What I would <b>LOVE</b>, is the ability to see what is happening. e.g. "10,000 rows copied, 89 million to go", type logs. <br>I can't do a select on the slave node as that seems to just hang forever. <br><br>Any help on what to do would be most appreciated.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Note: slony 2.0.7<br><br>Thanks<br><br>Jon<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
