Minor document typo
Hi,
doc/src/sgml/monitoring.sgml seems to have a minor typo:
In pg_stat_database_conflicts section (around line 3621) we have:
<para>
Number of uses of logical slots in this database that have been
canceled due to old snapshots or too low a <xref linkend="guc-wal-level"/>
on the primary
</para></entry>
I think "too low a" should be "too low" ('a' is not
necessary). Attached is the patch.
Best reagards,

The existing text looks fine to me. The other form would use "of a"
and become "too low of a wal_level on the primary".
"too low wal_level on the primary" sounds wrong to my native
English-speaking ear.
There's some discussion in [1]https://www.reddit.com/r/grammar/comments/qr9z6e/i_need_help_with_sothat_adj_of_a_sing_noun/?ref=share&ref_source=link that might be of interest to you.

Thank you for the explanation. English is difficult :-)
Just out of a curiosity, is it possible to say "low a wal_level on the
primary"? (just "too" is removed)

Prefixing the adjective with "too" means it's beyond the acceptable
range. "This coffee is too hot".
