I don't know what an RBA is...
If you are using recovery_min_apply_delay, don't measure the replication lag
with regard to the replay_lsn, because replay is deliberately delayed.
Instead, measure the difference to flush_lsn, the WAL position successfully
transferred to the standby and persisted there.
