<application>repmgr</application> and <application>repmgrd</application>

use a common configuration file, by default called
|
|
<filename>repmgr.conf</filename> (although any name can be used if explicitly specified).
|
|
<filename>repmgr.conf</filename> must contain a number of required parameters, including
|
|
the database connection string for the local node and the location
|
|
of its data directory; other values will be inferred from defaults if
|
|
not explicitly supplied. See section `configuration file parameters`
|
|
for more details.

The configuration file will be searched for in the following locations:

<itemizedlist spacing="compact" mark="bullet">

<listitem>
|
|
<para>a configuration file specified by the `-f/--config-file` command line option</para>

<listitem>
|
|
<para>
|
|
a location specified by the package maintainer (if <application>repmgr</application>
|
|
as installed from a package and the package maintainer has specified the configuration
|
|
file location)

Note that if a file is explicitly specified with <application>-f/--config-file</application>,
|
|
an error will be raised if it is not found or not readable and no attempt will be made to
|
|
check default locations; this is to prevent <application>repmgr</application> unexpectedly
|
|
reading the wrong file.
