If you need to check if your Vertica ROS is lagging behind your WOS, you can use the following query to retrieve the last good epoch (i.e : the last one written to disk, which ensures you won’t lose any data even in the case of a catastrophic failure where all your nodes would shut down simultaneously) :

SELECT epoch_number, epoch_close_time
FROM v_monitor.system
JOIN epochs dbadmin ON epoch_number = last_good_epoch;
