`repmgr` and `repmgrd` use a common configuration file, by default called
|
|
`repmgr.conf` (although any name can be used if explicitly specified).
|
|
`repmgr.conf` 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.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
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>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>a location specified by the package maintainer (if `repmgr` was installed
|
|
from a package and the package maintainer has specified the configuration
|
|
file location)</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>`repmgr.conf` in the local directory</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>`/etc/repmgr.conf`</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>the directory reported by `pg_config --sysconfdir`</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
</itemizedlist>
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Note that if a file is explicitly specified with `-f/--config-file`, 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 `repmgr` unexpectedly reading the wrong file.
