"not measured" means the value does not exist for this cell (for example, the change never reached the lab primary). It is never zero.

Answer

The escalation reason, as the model wrote it.

wal_level is already replica, the minimum compatible with the required streaming standby, WAL archiving and physical backups. Lowering it to minimal would break those requirements; PostgreSQL also rejects startup with minimal while archive_mode is on or max_wal_senders is nonzero. Absence of logical replication does not permit lowering it further safely.
