Subject: Monitor repl slot size

Hello,
we used to monitor the replication slot size on postgres 9.6.6 with the 
following query:

SELECT pg_xlog_location_diff(pg_current_xlog_location(), restart_lsn) FROM 
pg_replication_slots WHERE slot_name = 'SLOT NAME';

We are moving to postgres 10.4 and we saw the pg_xlog_location_diff is not 
there anymore.


I know we can re-create it following this link : 
https://github.com/DataDog/integrations-core/issues/907


but, is there any better way to do it? Any replacement for that function on 
postgres 10?


Thanks a lot,
Nicola

I’m compare current_wal_lsn to confirmed_flush_lsn:

SELECT confirmed_flush_lsn, pg_current_wal_lsn(), (pg_current_wal_lsn() - 
confirmed_flush_lsn) AS lsn_distance          -- returned as NUMERIC
       FROM pg_catalog.pg_replication_slots
       WHERE slot_name = 'Slot NAME';

Regards,
Igor Neyman
