It's useless to use the "-a" option against the "master" node. The master node is not subscribing to any sets, so nothing will be recorded in the "log shipping" logs there. > the most recent slon console output on the master is: > > 2006-03-31 11:06:47 BST CONFIG main: slon version 1.1.5 starting up > 2006-03-31 11:06:47 BST CONFIG main: local node id = 1 > 2006-03-31 11:06:47 BST CONFIG main: launching sched_start_mainloop > 2006-03-31 11:06:47 BST CONFIG main: loading current cluster configuration > 2006-03-31 11:06:47 BST CONFIG storeNode: no_id=2 no_comment='Node 2 - > Jalapeno' > 2006-03-31 11:06:47 BST CONFIG storePath: pa_server=2 pa_client=1 > pa_conninfo="host=194.24.250.143 dbname=laterooms user=XXX port=5432 > password=XXXXX" pa_connretry=10 > 2006-03-31 11:06:47 BST CONFIG storeListen: li_origin=2 li_receiver=1 > li_provider=2 > 2006-03-31 11:06:47 BST CONFIG storeSet: set_id=1 set_origin=1 > set_comment='All laterooms tables and sequences' > 2006-03-31 11:06:47 BST CONFIG main: configuration complete - starting > threads > 2006-03-31 11:06:47 BST DEBUG1 localListenThread: thread starts > NOTICE: Slony-I: cleanup stale sl_nodelock entry for pid=17670 > NOTICE: Slony-I: cleanup stale sl_nodelock entry for pid=20424 > NOTICE: Slony-I: cleanup stale sl_nodelock entry for pid=20425 > NOTICE: Slony-I: cleanup stale sl_nodelock entry for pid=21028 > NOTICE: Slony-I: cleanup stale sl_nodelock entry for pid=21030 > 2006-03-31 11:06:47 BST CONFIG enableNode: no_id=2 > 2006-03-31 11:06:47 BST DEBUG1 main: running scheduler mainloop > 2006-03-31 11:06:47 BST DEBUG1 remoteWorkerThread_2: thread starts > 2006-03-31 11:06:47 BST DEBUG1 cleanupThread: thread starts > 2006-03-31 11:06:47 BST DEBUG1 remoteListenThread_2: thread starts > 2006-03-31 11:06:47 BST DEBUG1 syncThread: thread starts > 2006-03-31 11:06:47 BST DEBUG1 remoteListenThread_2: connected to > 'host=194.24.250.143 dbname=laterooms user=XXX port=5432 password=XXXXXX' > > There is a slony1_log_2_00000000000000XXXX.sql in /var/log/slony on the > master every 10 seconds, as I'd expect, but each and every one of these > files is 288 bytes long with a boilerplate: > > ================================= > -- Slony-I log shipping archive > -- Node 2, Event 2435 > start transaction; > > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > -- End Of Archive Log > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > commit; > vacuum analyze "_replication".sl_setsync_offline; > ================================= > That seems pretty normal.

It sounds as though you are seeing log shipping logs that contain new data; are you not seeing the corresponding data loaded onto the subscriber? That would be quite surprising...
