Hi,
Looking at your log output my understanding is that you are having issues with a REPLICA and that it won’t start up.
I suggest you look at this particular message, it appears you might not be using the same configuration parameters between PRIMARY and REPLICA:
2022-08-25 16:58:42.364 UTC [13379] FATAL: recovery aborted because of insufficient parameter settings
2022-08-25 16:58:42.364 UTC [13379] DETAIL: max_connections = 100 is a lower setting than on the primary server, where its value was 550.

Hope this helps

Hi Naresh,
Whenever you modify the configuration parameters in Primary server,those
changes needs to apply manually in standby server.
If you do not perform changes in standby server,Standby server will
shutdown automatically with above error message.
Please change “max_connection” parameter in postgresql.conf file of standby
server according primary server and then start the Standby server.

Hi @Robert_Bernier and @naveed.shaikh
Thanks for the quick update.
If you don’t mind can you please share the Master and Replica settings, which I should change in the postgresql.conf file to configure the streaming replication.’
Can you please share the postgresql.conf parameter settings for both Primary and Replica servers.
I am confusing the streaming replication settings and config settings for the PostgreSQL 14 version.

According to your log message the number of connections on the PRIMARY is much larger than what’s set on the REPLICA i.e. they should be either the same or the REPLICA maximum number of connections should be greater.
TIP: set all your runtime parameters, including those required for the REPLICA in the configuration files found on the PRIMARY and then copy it to the REPLICA. PostgreSQL knows if its a PRIMARY or REPLICA therefore only those parameters that apply to the respective host applies.
