Re: Pause streaming replication

Yes, I have read the manual and seen this. It pauses the replication
(select pg_is_wal_replay_paused()). But on the primary, when I look at
pg_stat_replication, it still says 'streaming' in the state column. My
question was how do I get it from 'streaming' to anything else? (
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/11/monitoring-stats.html#PG-STAT-REPLICATION-VIEW)
?

I want to trigger an alert when 'streaming' isn't there. Or is there a
better way to do it?
