<title>Description</title>
<para>
<command>repmgr witness register</command> adds a witness server's node
record to the &repmgr; metadata, and if necessary initialises the witness
node by installing the &repmgr; extension and copying the &repmgr; metadata
to the witness server. This command needs to be executed to enable
use of the witness server with <application>repmgrd</application>.
</para>
<para>
When executing <command>repmgr witness register</command>, connection information
for the cluster primary server must also be provided. &repmgr; will automatically
use the <varname>user</varname> and <varname>dbname</varname> values defined
in the <varname>conninfo</varname> string defined in the witness node's
<filename>repmgr.conf</filename>, if these are not explicitly provided.
</para>
<para>
Execute with the <literal>--dry-run</literal> option to check what would happen
without actually registering the witness server.
