Question

Hello, Im encountering an issue with postgreSQL version 15 setup. The

pg_wal directory on the secondary server is getting full, retaining WAL files from the past four months. However, on the primary server its fine, the pg_wal size is only 1.5GB, whereas the secondary has grown to 28GB.
I confirmed that the configuration parameters are identical on both servers, so Im unsure why this is happening only on the secondary.
Could you suggest anything on that?

Than that backup might have caused the WAL backlog. Which software is it?

Pg_basebackup and pg_dump

Then it's probably a WAL lag of pg_basebackup. You need to take care of finishing the following of backups yourself, it is not managed. Think about using https://pgbackrest.org/, it will take of cleaning up itself as it stops following WAL automatically as configured.
