You can retrieve a list of WAL sender processes via the
<link linkend="monitoring-stats-views-table">
<literal>pg_stat_replication</literal></link> view. Large differences between
<xref linkend="pg-stat-replication-view"> view. Large differences between
<function>pg_current_wal_lsn</function> and the view's <literal>sent_lsn</literal> field
might indicate that the master server is under heavy load, while
differences between <literal>sent_lsn</literal> and
<function>pg_last_wal_receive_lsn</function> on the standby might indicate
network delay, or that the standby is under heavy load.

On a hot standby, the status of the WAL receiver process can be retrieved
via the <xref linkend="pg-stat-wal-receiver-view"> view. A large
difference between <function>pg_last_wal_replay_lsn</function> and the
view's <literal>received_lsn</literal> indicates that WAL is being
received faster than it can be replayed.
