Fix comment typo

There's no compelling reason to require "archive_mode" to be enabled
for streaming replication. It is of course a good idea to archive WAL
using e.g. barman ( http://www.pgbarman.org/ ) as part of a comprehensive
backup strategy, but repmgr and streaming replication work fine without
it.

Per GitHub #141.

Also revise the configuration check for "archive_command" to be
triggered only when "archive_mode" is not "off", as from PostgreSQL
9.5 onwards "archive_mode" can also be "on" or "always".

+FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions about repmgr
+=============================================
+
+This FAQ applies to `repmgr` 3.0 and later.
+
+General
+-------
+
+- What's the difference between the repmgr versions?
+
+  repmgr 3.x builds on the improved replication facilities added
+  in PostgreSQL 9.3, as well as improved automated failover support
+  via `repmgrd`, and is not compatible with PostgreSQL 9.2 and earlier.
+
+  repmgr 2.x supports PostgreSQL 9.0 onwards. While it is compatible
+  with  PostgreSQL 9.3 and later, we recommend repmgr v3.
+
+- What's the advantage of using replication slots?
+
+  Replication slots, introduced in PostgreSQL 9.4, ensure that the
+  master server will retain WAL files until they have been consumed
+  by all standby servers. This makes WAL file management much easier,
+  and if used `repmgr` will no longer insist on a fixed number (default: 5000)
+  of WAL files being preserved.
+
+  (However this does mean that if a standby is no longer connected to the
+  master, the master will retain WAL files indefinitely).
+
+- How many replication slots should I define in `max_replication_slots`?
+
+  Normally at least same number as the number of standbys which will connect
+  to the node. Note that changes to `max_replication_slots` require a server
+  restart to take effect, and as there is no particular penalty for unused
+  replication slots, setting a higher figure will make adding new nodes
+  easier.
+
+- Does `repmgr` support hash indexes?
+
+  No. Hash indexes and replication do not mix well and their use is
+  explicitly discouraged; see:
+    http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/interactive/sql-createindex.html#AEN74175
+
+`repmgr`
+--------
+
+- When should I use the --rsync-only option?
+
+  By default, `repmgr` uses `pg_basebackup` to clone a standby from
+  a master. However, `pg_basebackup` copies the entire data directory, which
+  can take some time depending on installation size. If you have an
+  existing but "stale" standby, `repmgr` can use `rsync` instead,
+  which means only changed or added files need to be copied.
+
+- Can I register an existing master/standby?
+
+  Yes, this is no problem.
+
+- How can a failed master be re-added as a standby?
+
+  This is a two-stage process. First, the failed master's data directory
+  must be re-synced with the current master; secondly the failed master
+  needs to be re-registered as a standby. The section "Converting a failed
+  master to a standby" in the `README.md` file contains more detailed
+  information on this process.
+
+- Is there an easy way to check my master server is correctly configured
+  for use with `repmgr`?
+
+  Yes - execute `repmgr` with the `--check-upstream-config` option, and it
+  will let you know which items in `postgresql.conf` need to be modified.
+
+- Even though I specified custom `rsync` options, `repmgr` appends
+  the `--checksum` - why?
+
+  When syncing a stale data directory from an active server, it's
+  essential that `rsync` compares the content of files rather than
+  just timestamp and size, to ensure that all changed files are
+  copied and prevent corruption.
+
+- When cloning a standby, how can I prevent `repmgr` from copying
+  `postgresql.conf` and `pg_hba.conf` from the PostgreSQL configuration
+  directory in `/etc`?
+
+  Use the command line option `--ignore-external-config-files`
+
+- How can I prevent `repmgr` from copying local configuration files
+  in the data directory?
+
+  If you're updating an existing but stale data directory which
+  contains e.g. configuration files you don't want to be overwritten
+  with the same file from the master, specify the files in the
+  `rsync_options` configuration option, e.g.
+
+      rsync_options=--exclude=postgresql.local.conf
+
+  This option is only available when using the `--rsync-only` option.
+
+- How can I make the witness server use a particular port?
+
+  By default the witness server is configured to use port 5499; this
+  is intended to support running the witness server as  a separate
+  instance on a normal node server, rather than on its own dedicated server.
+
+  To specify different port for the witness server, supply the port number
+  in the `conninfo` string in `repmgr.conf`
+  (repmgr 3.0.1 and earlier: use the `-l/--local-port` option)
+
+- Do I need to include `shared_preload_libraries = 'repmgr_funcs'`
+  in `postgresql.conf` if I'm not using `repmgrd`?
+
+  No, the `repmgr_funcs` library is only needed when running `repmgrd`.
+  If you later decide to run `repmgrd`, you just need to add
+  `shared_preload_libraries = 'repmgr_funcs'` and restart PostgreSQL.
+
+- I've provided replication permission for the `repmgr` user in `pg_hba.conf`
+  but `repmgr`/`repmgrd` complains it can't connect to the server... Why?
+
+  `repmgr`/`repmgrd` need to be able to connect to the repmgr database
+  with a normal connection to query metadata. The `replication` connection
+  permission is for PostgreSQL's streaming replication and doesn't
+  necessarily need to be the `repmgr` user.
+
+
+`repmgrd`
+---------
+
+- Do I need a witness server?
+
+  Not necessarily. However if you have an uneven number of nodes spread
+  over more than one network segment, a witness server will enable
+  better handling of a 'split brain' situation by providing a "casting
+  vote" on the preferred network segment.
+
+- How can I prevent a node from ever being promoted to master?
+
+  In `repmgr.conf`, set its priority to a value of 0 or less.
+
+- Does `repmgrd` support delayed standbys?
+
+  `repmgrd` can monitor delayed standbys - those set up with
+  `recovery_min_apply_delay` set to a non-zero value in `recovery.conf` -
+  but as it's not currently possible to directly examine the value
+  applied to the standby, `repmgrd` may not be able to properly evaluate
+  the node as a promotion candidate.
+
+  We recommend that delayed standbys are explicitly excluded from promotion
+  by setting `priority` to 0 in `repmgr.conf`.
+
+  Note that after registering a delayed standby, `repmgrd` will only start
+  once the metadata added in the master node has been replicated.
+
+- How can I get `repmgrd` to rotate its logfile?
+
+  Configure your system's `logrotate` service to do this; see example
+  in README.md

+Notes on RedHat Linux, Fedora, and CentOS Builds
+------------------------------------------------
+
+The RPM packages of PostgreSQL put `pg_config` into the `postgresql-devel`
+package, not the main server one.  And if you have a RPM install of PostgreSQL
+9.0, the entire PostgreSQL binary directory will not be in your PATH by default
+either.  Individual utilities are made available via the `alternatives`
+mechanism, but not all commands will be wrapped that way.  The files installed
+by repmgr will certainly not be in the default PATH for the postgres user
+on such a system.  They will instead be in /usr/pgsql-9.0/bin/ on this
+type of system.
+
+When building repmgr against a RPM packaged build, you may discover that some
+development packages are needed as well.  The following build errors can
+occur:
+
+    /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lxslt
+    /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lpam
+
+Install the following packages to correct those:
+
+
+    yum install libxslt-devel
+    yum install pam-devel
+
+If building repmgr as a regular user, then doing the install into the system
+directories using sudo, the syntax is hard.  `pg_config` won't be in root's
+path either.  The following recipe should work:
+
+    sudo PATH="/usr/pgsql-9.0/bin:$PATH" make USE_PGXS=1 install
+
+
+Issues with 32 and 64 bit RPMs
+------------------------------
+
+If when building, you receive a series of errors of this form:
+
+  /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/pgsql-9.0/lib/libpq.so when searching for -lpq
+
+This is likely because you have both the 32 and 64 bit versions of the
+`postgresql90-devel` package installed.  You can check that like this:
+
+    rpm -qa --queryformat '%{NAME}\t%{ARCH}\n'  | grep postgresql90-devel
+
+And if two packages appear, one for i386 and one for x86_64, that's not supposed
+to be allowed.
+
+This can happen when using the PGDG repo to install that package;
+here is an example sessions demonstrating the problem case appearing:
+
+
+    # yum install postgresql-devel
+    ..
+    Setting up Install Process
+    Resolving Dependencies
+    --> Running transaction check
+    ---> Package postgresql90-devel.i386 0:9.0.2-2PGDG.rhel5 set to be updated
+    ---> Package postgresql90-devel.x86_64 0:9.0.2-2PGDG.rhel5 set to be updated
+    --> Finished Dependency Resolution
+
+    Dependencies Resolved
+
+    =========================================================================
+     Package               Arch      Version              Repository    Size
+    =========================================================================
+    Installing:
+     postgresql90-devel    i386      9.0.2-2PGDG.rhel5    pgdg90        1.5 M
+     postgresql90-devel    x86_64    9.0.2-2PGDG.rhel5    pgdg90        1.6 M
+
+
+Note how both the i386 and x86_64 platform architectures are selected for
+installation.  Your main PostgreSQL package will only be compatible with one of
+those, and if the repmgr build finds the wrong postgresql90-devel these
+"skipping incompatible" messages appear.
+
+In this case, you can temporarily remove both packages, then just install the
+correct one for your architecture.  Example:
+
+    rpm -e postgresql90-devel --allmatches
+    yum install postgresql90-devel-9.0.2-2PGDG.rhel5.x86_64
+
+Instead just deleting the package from the wrong platform might not leave behind
+the correct files, due to the way in which these accidentally happen to interact.
+If you already tried to build repmgr before doing this, you'll need to do:
+
+    make USE_PGXS=1 clean
+
+to get rid of leftover files from the wrong architecture.
+
+Notes on Ubuntu, Debian or other Debian-based Builds
+----------------------------------------------------
+
+The Debian packages of PostgreSQL put `pg_config` into the development package
+called `postgresql-server-dev-$version`.
+
+When building repmgr against a Debian packages build, you may discover that some
+development packages are needed as well. You will need the following development
+packages installed:
+
+    sudo apt-get install libxslt-dev libxml2-dev libpam-dev libedit-dev
+
+If you're using Debian packages for PostgreSQL and are building repmgr with the
+USE_PGXS option you also need to install the corresponding development package:
+
+    sudo apt-get install postgresql-server-dev-9.0
+
+If you build and install repmgr manually it will not be on the system path. The
+binaries will be installed in /usr/lib/postgresql/$version/bin/ which is not on
+the default path. The reason behind this is that Ubuntu/Debian systems manage
+multiple installed versions of PostgreSQL on the same system through a wrapper
+called pg_wrapper and repmgr is not (yet) known to this wrapper.
+
+You can solve this in many different ways, the most Debian like is to make an
+alternate for repmgr and repmgrd:
+
+    sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/repmgr repmgr /usr/lib/postgresql/9.0/bin/repmgr 10
+    sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/repmgrd repmgrd /usr/lib/postgresql/9.0/bin/repmgrd 10
+
+You can also make a deb package of repmgr using:
+
+    make USE_PGXS=1 deb
+
+This will build a Debian package one level up from where you build, normally the
+same directory that you have your repmgr/ directory in.

+repmgr quickstart guide
+=======================
+
+This quickstart guide provides some annotated examples on basic
+`repmgr` setup. It assumes you are familiar with PostgreSQL replication
+concepts setup and Linux/UNIX system administration.
+
+For the purposes of this guide, we'll assume the database user will be
+`repmgr_usr` and the database will be `repmgr_db`.
+
+
+Master setup
+------------
+
+1. Configure PostgreSQL
+
+  - create user and database:
+
+	```
+	CREATE ROLE repmgr_usr LOGIN SUPERUSER;
+	CREATE DATABASE repmgr_db OWNER repmgr_usr;
+	```
+
+  - configure `postgresql.conf` for replication (see README.md for sample
+    settings)
+
+  - update `pg_hba.conf`, e.g.:
+
+	```
+	host    repmgr_db       repmgr_usr  192.168.1.0/24         trust
+	host    replication     repmgr_usr  192.168.1.0/24         trust
+	```
+
+  Restart the PostgreSQL server after making these changes.
+
+2. Create the `repmgr` configuration file:
+
+        $ cat /path/to/repmgr/node1/repmgr.conf
+        cluster=test
+        node=1
+        node_name=node1
+        conninfo='host=repmgr_node1 user=repmgr_usr dbname=repmgr_db'
+        pg_bindir=/path/to/postgres/bin
+
+   (For an annotated `repmgr.conf` file, see `repmgr.conf.sample` in the
+   repository's root directory).
+
+3. Register the master node with `repmgr`:
+
+        $ repmgr -f /path/to/repmgr/node1/repmgr.conf --verbose master register
+        [2015-03-03 17:45:53] [INFO] repmgr connecting to master database
+        [2015-03-03 17:45:53] [INFO] repmgr connected to master, checking its state
+        [2015-03-03 17:45:53] [INFO] master register: creating database objects inside the repmgr_test schema
+        [2015-03-03 17:45:53] [NOTICE] Master node correctly registered for cluster test with id 1 (conninfo: host=localhost user=repmgr_usr dbname=repmgr_db)
+
+Standby setup
+-------------
+
+1. Use `repmgr standby clone` to clone a standby from the master:
+
+        repmgr -D /path/to/standby/data -d repmgr_db -U repmgr_usr --verbose standby clone 192.168.1.2
+        [2015-03-03 18:18:21] [NOTICE] No configuration file provided and default file './repmgr.conf' not found - continuing with default values
+        [2015-03-03 18:18:21] [NOTICE] repmgr Destination directory ' /path/to/standby/data' provided
+        [2015-03-03 18:18:21] [INFO] repmgr connecting to upstream node

+        [2015-03-03 18:18:21] [INFO] Successfully connected to upstream node. Current installation size is 27 MB
+        [2015-03-03 18:18:21] [NOTICE] Starting backup...
+        [2015-03-03 18:18:21] [INFO] creating directory " /path/to/standby/data"...
+        [2015-03-03 18:18:21] [INFO] Executing: 'pg_basebackup -l "repmgr base backup"  -h localhost -p 9595 -U repmgr_usr -D  /path/to/standby/data '
+        NOTICE:  pg_stop_backup complete, all required WAL segments have been archived
+        [2015-03-03 18:18:23] [NOTICE] repmgr standby clone (using pg_basebackup) complete
+        [2015-03-03 18:18:23] [NOTICE] HINT: You can now start your postgresql server
+        [2015-03-03 18:18:23] [NOTICE] for example : pg_ctl -D  /path/to/standby/data start
+
+  Note that the `repmgr.conf` file is not required when cloning a standby.
+  However we recommend providing a valid `repmgr.conf` if you wish to use
+  replication slots, or want `repmgr` to log the clone event to the
+  `repl_events` table.
+
+  This will clone the PostgreSQL database files from the master, including its
+  `postgresql.conf` and `pg_hba.conf` files, and additionally automatically create
+  the `recovery.conf` file containing the correct parameters to start streaming
+  from the primary node.
+
+2. Start the PostgreSQL server
+
+3. Create the `repmgr` configuration file:
+
+        $ cat /path/node2/repmgr/repmgr.conf
+        cluster=test
+        node=2
+        node_name=node2
+        conninfo='host=repmgr_node2 user=repmgr_usr dbname=repmgr_db'
+        pg_bindir=/path/to/postgres/bin
+
+4. Register the standby node with `repmgr`:
+
+        $ repmgr -f /path/to/repmgr/node2/repmgr.conf --verbose standby register
+        [2015-03-03 18:24:34] [NOTICE] Opening configuration file: /path/to/repmgr/node2/repmgr.conf
+        [2015-03-03 18:24:34] [INFO] repmgr connecting to standby database
+        [2015-03-03 18:24:34] [INFO] repmgr connecting to master database
+        [2015-03-03 18:24:34] [INFO] finding node list for cluster 'test'
+        [2015-03-03 18:24:34] [INFO] checking role of cluster node '1'
+        [2015-03-03 18:24:34] [INFO] repmgr connected to master, checking its state
+        [2015-03-03 18:24:34] [INFO] repmgr registering the standby
+        [2015-03-03 18:24:34] [INFO] repmgr registering the standby complete
+        [2015-03-03 18:24:34] [NOTICE] Standby node correctly registered for cluster test with id 2 (conninfo: host=localhost user=repmgr_usr dbname=repmgr_db)
+
+
+This concludes the basic `repmgr` setup of master and standby. The records
+created in the `repl_nodes` table should look something like this:
+
+        repmgr_db=# SELECT * from repmgr_test.repl_nodes;
+         id |  type   | upstream_node_id | cluster | name  |                      conninfo                      | slot_name | priority | active
+        ----+---------+------------------+---------+-------+----------------------------------------------------+-----------+----------+--------
+          1 | primary |                  | test    | node1 | host=repmgr_node1 user=repmgr_usr dbname=repmgr_db |           |        0 | t
+          2 | standby |                1 | test    | node2 | host=repmgr_node2 user=repmgr_usr dbname=repmgr_db |           |        0 | t

+repmgr: Replication Manager for PostgreSQL
+==========================================
+
+`repmgr` is an open-source tool to manage replication and failover
+between multiple PostgreSQL servers. It enhances PostgreSQL's built-in
+hot-standby capabilities with tools to set up standby servers, monitor
+replication, and perform administrative tasks such as failover or manual
+switchover operations.
+
+This document covers `repmgr 3`, which supports PostgreSQL 9.3 and later.
+This version can use `pg_basebackup` to clone standby servers, supports
+replication slots and cascading replication, doesn't require a restart
+after promotion, and has many usability improvements.
+
+Please continue to use `repmgr 2` with PostgreSQL 9.2 and earlier.
+For a list of changes since `repmgr 2` and instructions on upgrading to
+`repmgr 3`, see the "Upgrading from repmgr 2" section below.
+
+For a list of frequently asked questions about `repmgr`, please refer
+to the file `FAQ.md`.
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+The `repmgr` command-line tool is used to perform administrative tasks,
+and the `repmgrd` daemon is used to optionally monitor replication and
+manage automatic failover.
+
+To get started, each PostgreSQL node in your cluster must have a
+`repmgr.conf` file. The current master node must be registered using
+`repmgr master register`. Existing standby servers can be registered
+using `repmgr standby register`. A new standby server can be created
+using `repmgr standby clone` followed by `repmgr standby register`.
+
+See the `QUICKSTART.md` file for examples of how to use these commands.
+
+Once the cluster is in operation, run `repmgr cluster show` to see the
+status of the registered primary and standby nodes. Any standby can be
+manually promoted using `repmgr standby promote`. Other standby nodes
+can be told to follow the new master using `repmgr standby follow`. We
+show examples of these commands below.
+
+Next, for detailed monitoring, you must run `repmgrd` (with the same
+configuration file) on all your nodes. Replication status information is
+stored in a custom schema along with information about registered nodes.
+You also need `repmgrd` to configure automatic failover in your cluster.
+
+See the `FAILOVER.rst` file for an explanation of how to set up
+automatic failover.
+
+Requirements
+------------
+
+`repmgr` is developed and tested on Linux and OS X, but it should work
+on any UNIX-like system which PostgreSQL itself supports.
+
+All nodes must be running the same major version of PostgreSQL, and we
+recommend that they also run the same minor version. This version of
+`repmgr` (v3) supports PostgreSQL 9.3 and later.
+
+Earlier versions of `repmgr` needed password-less SSH access between
+nodes in order to clone standby servers using `rsync`. `repmgr 3` can
+use `pg_basebackup` instead in most circumstances; ssh is not required.
+
+You will need to use rsync only if your PostgreSQL configuration files
+are outside your data directory (as on Debian) and you wish these to
+be copied by `repmgr`. See the `SSH-RSYNC.md` file for details on
+configuring password-less SSH between your nodes.
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+`repmgr` must be installed on each PostgreSQL server node.
+
+* Packages
+  - PGDG publishes RPM packages for RedHat-based distributions
+  - Debian/Ubuntu provide .deb packages.
+  - See `PACKAGES.md` for details on building .deb and .rpm packages
+    from the `repmgr` source code.
+
+* Source installation
+  - `git clone https://github.com/2ndQuadrant/repmgr`
+  - Or download tar.gz files from
+    https://github.com/2ndQuadrant/repmgr/releases
+  - To install from source, run `sudo make USE_PGXS=1 install`
+
+After installation, you should be able to run `repmgr --version` and
+`repmgrd --version`. These binaries should be installed in the same
+directory as other PostgreSQL binaries, such as `psql`.
+
+Configuration
+-------------
+
+### Server configuration
+
+By default, `repmgr` uses PostgreSQL's built-in replication protocol to
+clone a primary and create a standby server. If your configuration files
+live outside your data directory, however, you will still need to set up
+password-less SSH so that rsync can be used. See the `SSH-RSYNC.md` file
+for details.
+
+### PostgreSQL configuration
+
+The primary server needs to be configured for replication with settings
+like the following in `postgresql.conf`:
+
+    # Allow read-only queries on standby servers. The number of WAL
+    # senders should be larger than the number of standby servers.
+
+    hot_standby = on
+    wal_level = 'hot_standby'
+    max_wal_senders = 10
+
+    # How much WAL to retain on the primary to allow a temporarily
+    # disconnected standby to catch up again. The larger this is, the
+    # longer the standby can be disconnected. This is needed only in
+    # 9.3; from 9.4, replication slots can be used instead (see below).
+
+    wal_keep_segments = 5000
+
+    # Enable archiving, but leave it unconfigured (so that it can be
+    # configured without a restart later). Recommended, not required.
+
+    archive_mode = on
+    archive_command = 'cd .'
+
+    # If you plan to use repmgrd, ensure that shared_preload_libraries
+    # is configured to load 'repmgr_funcs'
+
+    shared_preload_libraries = 'repmgr_funcs'
+
+PostgreSQL 9.4 makes it possible to use replication slots, which means
+the value of `wal_keep_segments` need no longer be set. See section
+"Replication slots" below for more details.
+
+With PostgreSQL 9.3, `repmgr` expects `wal_keep_segments` to be set to
+at least 5000 (= 80GB of WAL) by default, though this can be overriden
+with the `-w N` argument.
+
+A dedicated PostgreSQL superuser account and a database in which to
+store monitoring and replication data are required. Create them by
+running the following commands:
+
+    createuser -s repmgr
+    createdb repmgr -O repmgr
+
+We recommend using the name `repmgr` for both user and database, but you
+can use whatever name you like (and you need to set the names you chose
+in the `conninfo` string in `repmgr.conf`; see below). We also recommend
+that you set the `repmgr` user's search path to include the `repmgr` schema
+for convenience when querying the metadata tables and views.
+
+The `repmgr` application will create its metadata schema in the `repmgr`
+database when the master server is registered.
+
+### repmgr configuration
+
+Create a `repmgr.conf` file on each server. Here's a minimal sample:
+
+    cluster=test
+    node=1
+    node_name=node1
+    conninfo='host=repmgr_node1 user=repmgr dbname=repmgr'
+
+The `cluster` name must be the same on all nodes. The `node` (an
+integer) and `node_name` must be unique to each node.
+
+The `conninfo` string must point to repmgr's database *on this node*.
+The host must be an IP or a name that all the nodes in the cluster can
+resolve (not `localhost`!). All nodes must use the same username and
+database name, but other parameters, such as the port, can vary between
+nodes.
+
+Your `repmgr.conf` should not be stored inside the PostgreSQL data
+directory. We recommend `/etc/repmgr/repmgr.conf`, but you can place it
+anywhere and use the `-f /path/to/repmgr.conf` option to tell `repmgr`
+where it is. If not specified, `repmgr` will search for `repmgr.conf` in
+the current working directory.
+
+If your PostgreSQL binaries (`pg_ctl`, `pg_basebackup`) are not in your
+`PATH`, you can specify an alternate location in `repmgr.conf`:
+
+    pg_bindir=/path/to/postgres/bin
+
+See `repmgr.conf.sample` for an example configuration file with all
+available configuration settings annotated.
+
+### Starting up
+
+The master node must be registered first using `repmgr master register`,
+and standby servers must be registered using `repmgr standby register`;
+this inserts details about each node into the control database. Use
+`repmgr cluster show` to see the result.
+
+See the `QUICKSTART.md` file for examples of how to use these commands.
+
+Failover
+--------
+
+To promote a standby to master, on the standby execute e.g.:
+
+    repmgr -f /etc/repmgr/repmgr.conf --verbose standby promote
+
+`repmgr` will attempt to connect to the current master to verify that it
+is not available (if it is, `repmgr` will not promote the standby).
+
+Other standby servers need to be told to follow the new master with e.g.:
+
+    repmgr -f /etc/repmgr/repmgr.conf --verbose standby follow
+
+See file `FAILOVER.rst` for details on setting up automated failover.
+
+
+Converting a failed master to a standby
+---------------------------------------
+
+Often it's desirable to bring a failed master back into replication
+as a standby. First, ensure that the master's PostgreSQL server is
+no longer running; then use `repmgr standby clone` to re-sync its
+data directory with the current master, e.g.:
+
+    repmgr -f /etc/repmgr/repmgr.conf \
+      --force --rsync-only \
+      -h node2 -d repmgr -U repmgr --verbose \
+      standby clone
+
+Here it's essential to use the command line options `--force`, to
+ensure `repmgr` will re-use the existing data directory, and
+`--rsync-only`, which causes `repmgr` to use `rsync` rather than
+`pg_basebackup`, as the latter can only be used to clone a fresh
+standby.
+
+The node can then be restarted.
+
+The node will then need to be re-registered with `repmgr`; again
+the `--force` option is required to update the existing record:
+
+     repmgr -f /etc/repmgr/repmgr.conf \
+       --force \
+       standby register
+
+
+
+Replication management with repmgrd
+-----------------------------------
+
+`repmgrd` is a management and monitoring daemon which runs on standby nodes
+and which can automate actions such as failover and updating standbys to
+follow the new master.`repmgrd`   can be started simply with e.g.:
+
+    repmgrd -f /etc/repmgr/repmgr.conf --verbose > $HOME/repmgr/repmgr.log 2>&1
+
+or alternatively:
+
+    repmgrd -f /etc/repmgr/repmgr.conf --verbose --monitoring-history > $HOME/repmgr/repmgrd.log 2>&1
+
+which will track replication advance or lag on all registered standbys.
+
+For permanent operation, we recommend using the options `-d/--daemonize` to
+detach the `repmgrd` process, and `-p/--pid-file` to write the process PID
+to a file.
+
+Example log output (at default log level):
+
+    [2015-03-11 13:15:40] [INFO] checking cluster configuration with schema 'repmgr_test'
+    [2015-03-11 13:15:40] [INFO] checking node 2 in cluster 'test'
+    [2015-03-11 13:15:40] [INFO] reloading configuration file and updating repmgr tables
+    [2015-03-11 13:15:40] [INFO] starting continuous standby node monitoring
+
+Note that currently `repmgrd` does not provide logfile rotation. To ensure
+the current logfile does not grow indefinitely, configure your system's `logrotate`
+to do this. Sample configuration to rotate logfiles weekly with retention
+for up to 52 weeks and rotation forced if a file grows beyond 100Mb:
+
+    /var/log/postgresql/repmgr-9.4.log {
+        missingok
+        compress
+        rotate 52
+        maxsize 100M
+        weekly
+        create 0600 postgres postgres
+    }
+
+
+Witness server
+--------------
+
+In a situation caused e.g. by a network interruption between two
+data centres, it's important to avoid a "split-brain" situation where
+both sides of the network assume they are the active segment and the
+side without an active master unilaterally promotes one of its standbys.
+
+To prevent this situation happening, it's essential to ensure that one
+network segment has a "voting majority", so other segments will know
+they're in the minority and not attempt to promote a new master. Where
+an odd number of servers exists, this is not an issue. However, if each
+network has an even number of nodes, it's necessary to provide some way
+of ensuring a majority, which is where the witness server becomes useful.
+
+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
+makes sense to create a witness server in conjunction with running
+`repmgrd`; the witness server will require its own `repmgrd` instance.
+
+
+Monitoring
+----------
+
+When `repmgrd` is running with the option `-m/--monitoring-history`, it will
+constantly write node status information to the `repl_monitor` table, which can
+be queried easily using the view `repl_status`:
+
+    repmgr=# SELECT * FROM repmgr_test.repl_status;
+    -[ RECORD 1 ]-------------+-----------------------------
+    primary_node              | 1
+    standby_node              | 2
+    standby_name              | node2
+    node_type                 | standby
+    active                    | t
+    last_monitor_time         | 2015-03-11 14:02:34.51713+09
+    last_wal_primary_location | 0/3012AF0
+    last_wal_standby_location | 0/3012AF0
+    replication_lag           | 0 bytes
+    replication_time_lag      | 00:00:03.463085
+    apply_lag                 | 0 bytes
+    communication_time_lag    | 00:00:00.955385
+
+
+Event logging and notifications
+-------------------------------
+
+To help understand what significant events (e.g. failure of a node) happened
+when and for what reason, `repmgr` logs such events into the `repl_events`
+table, e.g.:
+
+    repmgr_db=# SELECT * from repmgr_test.repl_events ;
+     node_id |      event       | successful |        event_timestamp        |                                      details
+    ---------+------------------+------------+-------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+           1 | master_register  | t          | 2015-03-16 17:36:21.711796+09 |
+           2 | standby_clone    | t          | 2015-03-16 17:36:31.286934+09 | Cloned from host 'localhost', port 5500; backup method: pg_basebackup; --force: N
+           2 | standby_register | t          | 2015-03-16 17:36:32.391567+09 |
+    (3 rows)
+
+
+Additionally `repmgr` can execute an external program each time an event is
+logged. This program is defined with the configuration variable
+`event_notification_command`; the command string can contain the following
+placeholders, which will be replaced with the same content which is
+written to the `repl_events` table:
+
+    %n - node id
+    %e - event type
+    %s - success (1 or 0)
+    %t - timestamp
+    %d - description
+
+Example:
+
+    event_notification_command=/path/to/some-script %n %e %s "%t" "%d"
+
+By default the program defined with `event_notification_command` will be
+executed for every event; to restrict execution to certain events, list
+these in the parameter `event_notifications`
+
+    event_notifications=master_register,standby_register
+
+Following event types currently exist:
+
+    master_register
+    standby_register
+    standby_unregister
+    standby_clone
+    standby_promote
+    witness_create
+    repmgrd_start
+    repmgrd_monitor
+    repmgrd_failover_promote
+    repmgrd_failover_follow
+
+
+Cascading replication
+---------------------
+
+Cascading replication - where a standby can connect to an upstream node and not
+the master server itself - was introduced in PostgreSQL 9.2. `repmgr` and
+`repmgrd` support cascading replication by keeping track of the relationship
+between standby servers - each node record is stored with the node id of its
+upstream ("parent") server (except of course the master server).
+
+In a failover situation where the master node fails and a top-level standby
+is promoted, a standby connected to another standby will not be affected
+and continue working as normal (even if the upstream standby it's connected
+to becomes the master node). If however the node's direct upstream fails,
+the "cascaded standby" will attempt to reconnect to that node's parent.
+
+To configure standby servers for cascading replication, add the parameter
+`upstream_node` to `repmgr.conf` and set it to the id of the node it should
+connect to, e.g.:
+
+    cluster=test
+    node=2
+    node_name=node2
+    upstream_node=1
+
+Replication slots
+-----------------
+
+Replication slots were introduced with PostgreSQL 9.4 and enable standbys to
+notify the master of their WAL consumption, ensuring that the master will
+not remove any WAL files until they have been received by all standbys.
+This mitigates the requirement to manage WAL file retention using
+`wal_keep_segments` etc., with the caveat that if a standby fails, no WAL
+files will be removed until the standby's replication slot is deleted.
+
+To enable replication slots, set the boolean parameter `use_replication_slots`
+in `repmgr.conf`:
+
+    use_replication_slots=1
+
+`repmgr` will automatically generate an appropriate slot name, which is
+stored in the `repl_nodes` table.
+
+Note that `repmgr` will fail with an error if this option is specified when
+working with PostgreSQL 9.3.
+
+Be aware that when initially cloning a standby, you will need to ensure
+that all required WAL files remain available while the cloning is taking
+place. If using the default `pg_basebackup` method, we recommend setting
+`pg_basebackup`'s `--xlog-method` parameter to `stream` like this:
+
+    pg_basebackup_options='--xlog-method=stream'
+
+See the `pg_basebackup` documentation [*] for details. Otherwise you'll need
+to set `wal_keep_segments` to an appropriately high value.
+

+
+Upgrading from repmgr 2
+-----------------------
+
+`repmgr 3` is largely compatible with `repmgr 2`; the only step required
+to upgrade is to update the `repl_nodes` table to the definition needed
+by `repmgr 3`. See the file `sql/repmgr2_repmgr3.sql` for details on how
+to do this.
+
+`repmgrd` must *not* be running while `repl_nodes` is being updated.
+
+Existing `repmgr.conf` files can be retained as-is.
+
+---------------------------------------
+
+Reference
+---------
+
+### repmgr command reference
+
+Not all of these commands need the ``repmgr.conf`` file, but they need to be able to
+connect to the remote and local databases.
+
+You can teach it which is the remote database by using the -h parameter or
+as a last parameter in standby clone and standby follow. If you need to specify
+a port different then the default 5432 you can specify a -p parameter.
+Standby is always considered as localhost and a second -p parameter will indicate
+its port if is different from the default one.
+
+* `master register`
+
+    Registers a master in a cluster. This command needs to be executed before any
+    standby nodes are registered.
+
+    `primary register` can be used as an alias for `master register`.
+
+* `standby register`
+
+    Registers a standby with `repmgr`. This command needs to be executed to enable
+    promote/follow operations and to allow `repmgrd` to work with the node.
+    An existing standby can be registered using this command.
+
+* `standby unregister`
+
+    Unregisters a standby with `repmgr`. This command does not affect the actual
+    replication.
+
+* `standby clone [node to be cloned]`
+
+    Clones a new standby node from the data directory of the master (or
+    an upstream cascading standby) using `pg_basebackup` or `rsync`.
+    Additionally it will create the `recovery.conf` file required to
+    start the server as a standby. This command does not require
+    `repmgr.conf` to be provided, but does require connection details
+    of the master or upstream server as command line parameters.
+
+    Provide the `-D/--data-dir` option to specify the destination data
+    directory; if not, the same directory path as on the source server
+    will be used. By default, `pg_basebackup` will be used to copy data
+    from the master or upstream node but this can only be used for
+    bootstrapping new installations. To update an existing but 'stale'
+    data directory (for example belonging to a failed master), `rsync`
+    must be used by specifying `--rsync-only`. In this case,
+    password-less SSH connections between servers are required.
+
+* `standby promote`
+
+    Promotes a standby to a master if the current master has failed. This
+    command requires a valid `repmgr.conf` file for the standby, either
+    specified explicitly  with `-f/--config-file` or located in the current
+    working directory; no additional arguments are required.
+
+    If the standby promotion succeeds, the server will not need to be
+    restarted. However any other standbys will need to follow the new server,
+    by using `standby follow` (see below); if `repmgrd` is active, it will
+    handle this.
+
+    This command will not function if the current master is still running.
+
+* `witness create`
+
+    Creates a witness server as a separate PostgreSQL instance. This instance
+    can be on a separate server or a server running an existing node. The
+    witness server contain a copy of the repmgr metadata tables but will not
+    be set up as a standby; instead it will update its metadata copy each
+    time a failover occurs.
+
+    Note that it only makes sense to create a witness server if `repmgrd`
+    is in use; see section "witness server" above.
+
+    By default the witness server will use port 5499 to facilitate easier setup
+    on a server running an existing node.
+
+* `standby follow`
+
+    Attaches the standby to a new master. This command requires a valid
+    `repmgr.conf` file for the standby, either specified explicitly with
+    `-f/--config-file` or located in the current working directory; no
+    additional arguments are required.
+
+    This command will force a restart of the standby server. It can only be used
+    to attach a standby to a new master node.
+
+* `cluster show`
+
+    Displays information about each node in the replication cluster. This
+    command polls each registered server and shows its role (master / standby /
+    witness) or "FAILED" if the node doesn't respond. It polls each server
+    directly and can be run on any node in the cluster; this is also useful
+    when analyzing connectivity from a particular node.
+
+    This command requires a valid `repmgr.conf` file for the node on which it is
+    executed, either specified explicitly with `-f/--config-file` or located in
+    the current working directory; no additional arguments are required.
+
+    Example:
+
+        repmgr -f /path/to/repmgr.conf cluster show
+        Role      | Connection String
+        * master  | host=node1 dbname=repmgr user=repmgr
+          standby | host=node2 dbname=repmgr user=repmgr
+          standby | host=node3 dbname=repmgr user=repmgr
+
+
+* `cluster cleanup`
+
+    Purges monitoring history from the `repl_monitor` table to prevent excessive
+    table growth. Use the `-k/--keep-history` to specify the number of days of
+    monitoring history to retain. This command can be used manually or as a
+    cronjob.
+
+    This command requires a valid `repmgr.conf` file for the node on which it is
+    executed, either specified explicitly with `-f/--config-file` or located in
+    the current working directory; no additional arguments are required.
+
+### repmgr configuration file
+
+See `repmgr.conf.sample` for an example configuration file with available
+configuration settings annotated.
+
+### repmgr database schema
+
+`repmgr` creates a small schema for its own use in the database specified in
+each node's `conninfo` configuration parameter. This database can in principle
+be any database. The schema name is the global `cluster` name prefixed
+with `repmgr_`, so for the example setup above the schema name is
+`repmgr_test`.
+
+The schema contains two tables:
+
+* `repl_nodes`
+  stores information about all registered servers in the cluster
+* `repl_monitor`
+  stores monitoring information about each node (generated by `repmgrd` with
+  `-m/--monitoring-history` option enabled)
+
+and one view:
+* `repl_status`
+  summarizes the latest monitoring information for each node (generated by `repmgrd` with
+  `-m/--monitoring-history` option enabled)
+
+### Error codes
+
+`repmgr` or `repmgrd` will return one of the following error codes on program
+exit:
+
+* SUCCESS (0)              Program ran successfully.
+* ERR_BAD_CONFIG (1)       Configuration file could not be parsed or was invalid
+* ERR_BAD_RSYNC (2)        An rsync call made by the program returned an error
+* ERR_NO_RESTART (4)       An attempt to restart a PostgreSQL instance failed
+* ERR_DB_CON (6)           Error when trying to connect to a database
+* ERR_DB_QUERY (7)         Error while executing a database query
+* ERR_PROMOTED (8)         Exiting program because the node has been promoted to master
+* ERR_BAD_PASSWORD (9)     Password used to connect to a database was rejected
+* ERR_STR_OVERFLOW (10)    String overflow error
+* ERR_FAILOVER_FAIL (11)   Error encountered during failover (repmgrd only)
+* ERR_BAD_SSH (12)         Error when connecting to remote host via SSH
+* ERR_SYS_FAILURE (13)     Error when forking (repmgrd only)
+* ERR_BAD_BASEBACKUP (14)  Error when executing pg_basebackup
+* ERR_MONITORING_FAIL (16) Unrecoverable error encountered during monitoring (repmgrd only)

 Planned feature improvements
 ============================
 
-* Timeline increases when promoting a standby
+* Use 'primary' instead of 'master' in documentation and log output
+  for consistency with PostgreSQL documentation. See also commit
+  870b0a53b627eeb9aca1fc14cbafe25b5beafe12.

   algorithm
 
 * include support for delayed standbys
+
+* Create the repmgr user/database on "master register".
+
+* Use pg_basebackup for the data directory, and ALSO rsync for the
+  configuration files.
+
+* If no configuration file supplied, search in sensible default locations
+  (currently: current directory and `pg_config --sysconfdir`); if
+  possible this should include the location provided by the package,
+  if installed.
+
+* repmgrd: if connection to the upstream node fails on startup, optionally
+  retry for a certain period before giving up; this will cover cases when
+  e.g. primary and standby are both starting up, and the standby comes up
+  before the primary. See github issue #80.
+
+* make old master node ID available for event notification commands
+  (See github issue #80).
+
+* Have pg_basebackup use replication slots, if and when support for
+  this is added; see:
+    http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/555DD2B2.7020000@gmx.net
+
+* use "primary/standby" terminology in place of "master/slave" for consistency
+  with main PostrgreSQL usage
+
+* repmgr standby clone: possibility to use barman instead of performing a new base backup
+
+* possibility to transform a failed master into a new standby with pg_rewind
+
+* "repmgr standby switchover" to promote a standby in a controlled manner
+   and convert the existing primary into a standby
+
+* make repmgrd more robust
+
+* repmgr: when cloning a standby using pg_basebackup and replication slots are
+  requested, activate the replication slot using pg_receivexlog to negate the
+  need to set `wal_keep_segments` just for the initial clone (9.4 and 9.5).
+
+Usability improvements
+======================
+
+* repmgr: add interrupt handler, so that if the program is interrupted
+  while running a backup, an attempt can be made to execute pg_stop_backup()
+  on the primary, to prevent an orphaned backup state existing.
+
+* repmgr: when unregistering a node, delete any entries in the repl_monitoring
+  table.
+
+* repmgr: for "standby unregister", accept connection parameters for the
+  primary and perform metadata updates (and slot removal) directly on
+  the primary, to allow a shutdown standby to be unregistered
+  (currently the standby must still be running, which means the replication
+  slot can't be dropped).
