 - ``GET /asynchronous?lag=<max-lag>`` or ``GET /async?lag=<max-lag>``: asynchronous standby check endpoint. In addition to checks from ``asynchronous`` or ``async``, it also checks replication latency and returns status code **200** only when it is below specified value. The key cluster.last_leader_operation from DCS is used for Leader wal position and compute latency on replica for performance reasons. max-lag can be specified in bytes (integer) or in human readable values, for e.g. 16kB, 64MB, 1GB.
