repmgr witness unregister repmgr witness unregister repmgr witness unregister remove a witness node's information to the &repmgr; metadata repmgr witness unregister removes a witness server's node record from the &repmgr; metadata. The node does not have to be running to be unregistered, however if this is the case then either provide connection information for the primary server, or execute repmgr witness unregister on a running node and provide the parameter --node-id with the node ID of the witness server. Execute with the --dry-run option to check what would happen without actually registering the witness server. Unregistering a running witness node: $ repmgr -f /etc/repmgr.conf witness unregister INFO: connecting to witness node "node3" (ID: 3) INFO: unregistering witness node 3 INFO: witness unregistration complete DETAIL: witness node with UD 3 successfully unregistered Unregistering a non-running witness node: $ repmgr -f /etc/repmgr.conf witness unregister -h node1 -p 5501 -F INFO: connecting to node "node3" (ID: 3) NOTICE: unable to connect to node "node3" (ID: 3), removing node record on cluster primary only INFO: unregistering witness node 3 INFO: witness unregistration complete DETAIL: witness node with id ID 3 successfully unregistered This command will not make any changes to the witness node itself and will neither remove any data from the witness database nor stop the PostgreSQL instance. A witness node which has been unregistered, can be re-registered with repmgr witness register --force. --dry-run Check prerequisites but don't actually unregister the witness. --node-id Unregister witness server with the specified node ID. A witness_unregister event notification will be generated.
