    SERVER_NAME

Initiate the streaming of transaction logs for a server. This process uses pg_receivewal or pg_receivexlog to receive WAL files from Postgres servers via the streaming protocol.

SERVER_NAME

Name of the server in barman node.

--create-slot

Create the physical replication slot configured with the slot_name configuration parameter.

--if-not-exists

Do not error out when --create-slot is specified and a slot with the specified name already exists.

--drop-slot

Drop the physical replication slot configured with the slot_name configuration parameter.

-h / --help

Show a help message and exit. Provides information about command usage.

--reset

Reset the status of receive-wal, restarting the streaming from the current WAL file of the server.

--stop

Stop the process for the server.

WARNING:

The --stop option for the barman receive-wal command will be obsoleted in a future release. Users should favor using the terminate-process command instead, which is the new way of handling this feature.
