pg_autoctl enable monitor¶
pg_autoctl enable monitor - Enable a monitor for this node to be orchestrated from
Synopsis¶
It is possible to disable the pg_auto_failover monitor and enable it again online in a running pg_autoctl Postgres node. The main use-cases where this operation is useful is when the monitor node has to be replaced, either after a full crash of the previous monitor node, of for migrating to a new monitor node (hardware replacement, region or zone migration, etc).
usage: pg_autoctl enable monitor [ --pgdata --allow-failover ] postgres://autoctl_node@new.monitor.add.ress/pg_auto_failover
--pgdata path to data directory
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 withpg_autoctl
.
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.
XDG_CONFIG_HOME
The pg_autoctl command stores its configuration files in the standard place XDG_CONFIG_HOME. See the XDG Base Directory Specification.
XDG_DATA_HOME
The pg_autoctl command stores its internal states files in the standard place XDG_DATA_HOME, which defaults to
~/.local/share
. See the XDG Base Directory Specification.
