- Actually, we had killed a process using "kill -9 " and the db went into

- We have no issues with the application as well.

If you fix the problem causing the archiver process to fail it will start processing
the logs again.

check your postgres logs and check your archive_command in your postgresql.conf and
make sure that everything is correct there.
