<title>Example</title>
<para>
<programlisting>
$ repmgr -f /etc/repmgr.conf node check
Node "node1":
Server role: OK (node is primary)
Replication lag: OK (N/A - node is primary)
WAL archiving: OK (0 pending files)
Downstream servers: OK (2 of 2 downstream nodes attached)
Replication slots: OK (node has no replication slots)</programlisting>
</para>
</refsect1>

<title>Individual checks</title>
<para>
Each check can be performed individually by supplying
an additional command line parameter, e.g.:
<programlisting>
$ repmgr node check --role
OK (node is primary)</programlisting>
</para>
<para>
Parameters for individual checks are as follows:
<itemizedlist spacing="compact" mark="bullet">
<listitem>
<simpara>
<literal>--role</literal>: checks if the node has the expected role
</simpara>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<simpara>
<literal>--replication-lag</literal>: checks if the node is lagging by more than
<varname>replication_lag_warning</varname> or <varname>replication_lag_critical</varname>
</simpara>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<simpara>
<literal>--archive-ready</literal>: checks for WAL files which have not yet been archived
</simpara>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<simpara>
<literal>--downstream</literal>: checks that the expected downstream nodes are attached
</simpara>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<simpara>
<literal>--slots</literal>: checks there are no inactive replication slots
</simpara>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
</para>
<para>
Individual checks can also be output in a Nagios-compatible format by additionally
providing the option <literal>--nagios</literal>.
