Re: Physical Standby Montoring

once I used a script which asked both primary and standby comparing arch sequences and gap between them - this way You have always got a context so are able to let's say assume that gap of 1 is ok, while gap of 5 is a error state.
Probably it is enough as this check if standby is running and how far behind primary it is, so in general everything one needs (except fs storage consumption)
