<para>
|
|
An arbitrary (but unique) string; we recommend using the server's hostname
|
|
or another identifier unambiguously associated with the server to avoid
|
|
confusion. Avoid choosing names which reflect the node's current role,
|
|
e.g. <varname>primary</varname> or <varname>standby1</varname>
|
|
as roles can change and if you end up in a solution where the current primary is
|
|
called <varname>standby1</varname> (for example), things will be confusing
|
|
to say the least.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
The string's maximum length is 63 characters and it should
|
|
contain only printable ASCII characters.

Database connection information as a conninfo string.

All servers in the cluster must be able to connect to

the local node using this string.

For details on conninfo strings, see section <ulink

If repmgrd is in use, consider explicitly setting
|
|
<varname>connect_timeout</varname> in the <varname>conninfo</varname>
|
|
string to determine the length of time which elapses before a network
|
|
connection attempt is abandoned; for details see <ulink

The node's data directory. This is needed by repmgr

when performing operations when the PostgreSQL instance

is not running and there's no other way of determining

the data directory.
