This was erroneously rendered as --dest-dir. This bugfeature seems
to have been around for a long time; however as the only way anyone
could know of the existence of --dest-dir is by reading the source
code, we can safely remove it.
Pointed out by Github user Jehan-Guillaume (ioguix) de Rorthais.
"Primary" is the term preferred in the PostgreSQL documentation, so
we should at least support it.
Practically this means it's possible to write "rempgr primary register"
in place of "repmgr master register".
The next feature-release should replace "master" with "primary" in
the documentation and log messages.
Per gripe in Github #112.
9.5 introduces the tablespace_map file, which is created on the upstream
node while a backup is running. We need to overwrite this with the
provided values.
Note that we only write explicitly-provided values to the tablespace_map
file, however the existing symlinks for non-specified tablespaces
will have been copied anyway.
Fixes Github #119.
Registering a master creates the schema, but it may be desirable
to forcibly reregister a master without deleting the schema, so
uncouple the dependency.
Also ensure schema creation is atomic by wrapping it in a transaction.
Per GitHub issue #49.
In some cases it is desirable to remove repmgr's handling of a standby, perhaps
because that standby is to be removed altogether. With no UNREGISTER command,
one had to manually delete the corresponding row from repl_nodes.
repmgrd correctly updates ID of the upstream node after automatic
failover, but repmgr was not doing that for manual failvers.
This moves the existing function to dbutils and modifies it so that
it does not rely on global variables with configuration (available
just in repmgrd).
This should fix issue #67 (hopefully, haven't done much testing).
If no configuration file provided, also check default Postgres
sysconfig dir.
It would also be useful to check the configuration directory
provided by the RPM/DEB packages, not sure if that's programmatically
feasible.
Currently repmgr/repmgrd will only accept these as valid when
provided as the first command line option, however it's possible
a user will want to get the output of those options by adding
them to the end of a previously inputted command.
Note that after the first of these options is encountered, the
program will terminate and not process any other options. This
is consistent with psql's behaviour
Per GitHub issue #107 from Sébastien Gross.
repmgr does not require explicit provision of the target data
directory when cloning a standby (it defaults to the same directory
as on the master). However this is a required option for pg_basebackup
which was only being provided if repmgr's -D/--data-dir option was
set, so ensure we always provide whatever repmgr is using.
Per report from Martín.
When using the default pg_basebackup method to clone a standby
together with the `--ignore-external-config-files` option, there's
no need to test for a working SSH connection - which may not
be desirable in many use-cases anyway.
Per issue #64 in GitHub.
- rename --min-recovery-apply-delay to --recovery-min-apply-delay
- ensure server version is 9.4 or later before writing
recovery_min_apply_delay to recovery.conf.
This fixes changes introduced in 653e11c2a7
(the parameter was subsequently renamed).
Also reallocate the '-r' parameter to --rsync-only, which is probably
more useful.
Previous check for the master host was ineffective. We'd be better off explicitly
requiring at least hostname, database and usernames for the master rather
than relying on whatever defaults were in place when STANDBY CLONE is
run, especially as dbname and username are used in recovery.conf.
Event records are advisory and non-critical; there may be paths
where we're not able to connect to a valid master and hence unable
to write a record. (If an 'event_notification_command' is defined,
this should serve as a backup notification of the event).
Command to be executed each time an event is logged.
Following formatting sequences will be interpolated:
%e - event type
%d - description
%s - success (1 or 0)
%t - timestamp
