repmgr.conf log settings log settings configuration in repmgr.conf By default, &repmgr; and &repmgrd; write log output to STDERR. An alternative log destination can be specified (either a file or syslog). The &repmgr; application itself will continue to write log output to STDERR even if another log destination is configured, as otherwise any output resulting from a command line operation will "disappear" into the log. This behaviour can be overriden with the command line option --log-to-file, which will redirect all logging output to the configured log destination. This is recommended when &repmgr; is executed by another application, particularly &repmgrd;, to enable log output generated by the &repmgr; application to be stored for later reference. log_level (string) log_level configuration file parameter One of DEBUG, INFO, NOTICE, WARNING, ERROR, ALERT, CRIT or EMERG. Default is INFO. Note that DEBUG will produce a substantial amount of log output and should not be enabled in normal use. log_facility (string) log_facility configuration file parameter Logging facility: possible values are STDERR (default), or for syslog integration, one of LOCAL0, LOCAL1, ..., LOCAL7, USER. log_file (string) log_file configuration file parameter If is set to STDERR, log output can be redirected to the specified file. See for information on configuring log rotation. log_status_interval (integer) log_status_interval configuration file parameter This setting causes &repmgrd; to emit a status log line at the specified interval (in seconds, default 300) describing &repmgrd;'s current state, e.g.: [2018-07-12 00:47:32] [INFO] monitoring connection to upstream node "node1" (ID: 1)
