Few minor comments:
===================
1.
+          <para>
+           <literal>wal_removed</literal> = required WAL has been removed.
+          </para>
+         </listitem>
+         <listitem>
+          <para>
+           <literal>rows_removed</literal> = required rows have been removed.
+          </para>
+         </listitem>
+         <listitem>
+          <para>
+           <literal>wal_level_insufficient</literal> = wal_level
insufficient on the primary server.
+          </para>

Should we use the same style to write the description as we are using
for the wal_status column? For example, <literal>wal_removed</literal>
means that the required WAL has been removed.

2.
+      <para>
+       The reason of logical slot's conflict with recovery.

My grammar tool says it should be: "The reason for the logical slot's
conflict with recovery."

Other than these minor comments, the patch looks good to me.
