This suppresses log output below log level ERROR. This is useful mainly
when repmgr is being executed programmatically, e.g. in a cronjob,
where it's only useful to receive output if something goes wrong.
Note we advise against using this option when executing repmgr
commands which operate on PostgreSQL nodes (standby follow,
standby promote, standby switchover, node rejoin), particularly when
executed by repmgrd, as the log output will provide valuable
troubleshooting information.
Implements suggestion in GitHub #468.
Default was previously NOTICE (as in repmgr 3.x) but documentation
implied it was INFO, and many of the the documentation examples assume
it is.
This produces some quite informative log output, without creating excessive
log file volume. In particular it's useful to get a better idea of what
repmgrd is actually doing.
Also add documentation section for the log configuration parameters.
GitHub #470, containing change suggested in GitHub #467.
When executed with --dry-run, repmgr outputs detail about what would
happen using log level INFO. If the log_level is configured to
NOTICE or higher, it's possible some or all of the --dry-run output
might not be displayed.
Addresses GitHub #441.
This is more consistent with other parameters and conforms to
the pattern used by PostgreSQL itself, which uses the prefix "log_"
for logging parameters.
A warning will be emitted if the old version of the parameter name
is detected.
