4.8.3. Management and Monitoring of PostgreSQL Deployments

Once the two services — extractor and applier — have been installed, the services can be monitored using trepctl. To monitor the extractor service:

shell> trepctl status

The replicator service operates just the same as a standard Extractor service of a typical MySQL replication service.

The PostgreSQL applier service can be accessed either remotely from the Extractor:

shell> trepctl -host host2 status
...

Or locally on the Applier host:

shell> trepctl status

Monitoring the status of replication between the Source and Target is also the same. The appliedLastSeqno still indicates the sequence number that has been applied to PostgreSQL, and the event ID from PostgreSQL can still be identified from appliedLastEventId.

Sequence numbers between the two hosts should match, as in a Primary/Replica deployment, but due to the method used to replicate, the applied latency may be higher. Tables that do not use primary keys, or large individual row updates may cause increased latency differences.
