3.6. repmgr configuration file

Create a repmgr.conf file on the primary server. The file must contain at least the following parameters:

    node_id=1
    node_name=node1
    conninfo='host=node1 user=repmgr dbname=repmgr connect_timeout=2'
    data_directory='/var/lib/postgresql/data'
  

repmgr.conf should not be stored inside the PostgreSQL data directory, as it could be overwritten when setting up or reinitialising the PostgreSQL server. See sections on configuration file location and configuration file settings for further details about repmgr.conf.

See the file repmgr.conf.sample for details of all available configuration parameters.
