=======================

pg_autoctl config check - Check pg_autoctl configuration

Synopsis
--------

This command implements a very basic list of sanity checks for a pg_autoctl
node setup::

  usage: pg_autoctl config check  [ --pgdata ] [ --json ]

  --pgdata      path to data directory
  --json        output data in the JSON format

Options
-------

--pgdata

  Location of the Postgres node being managed locally. Defaults to the
  environment variable ``PGDATA``. Use ``--monitor`` to connect to a monitor
  from anywhere, rather than the monitor URI used by a local Postgres node
  managed with ``pg_autoctl``.

--json

  Output JSON formatted data.


Environment
-----------

PGDATA

  Postgres directory location. Can be used instead of the ``--pgdata``
  option.

PG_AUTOCTL_MONITOR

  Postgres URI to connect to the monitor node, can be used instead of the
  ``--monitor`` option.

  place XDG_CONFIG_HOME. See the `XDG Base Directory Specification`__.
