This is not a fully-fledged standby node and is not integrated into
replication, but it effectively represents the "casting vote" when
deciding which network segment has a majority. A witness server can
be set up using `repmgr witness create` (see below for details) and
can run on a dedicated server or an existing node. Note that it only
be set up using <xref linkend="repmgr-witness-register">. Note that it only
makes sense to create a witness server in conjunction with running
`repmgrd`; the witness server will require its own `repmgrd` instance.
