repmgr service unpause

repmgr service unpause — Instruct all repmgrd instances in the replication cluster to resume failover operations

Description

This command can be run on any active node in the replication cluster to instruct all running repmgrd instances to "unpause" (following a previous execution of repmgr service pause) and resume normal failover/monitoring operation.

Note

It's important to wait a few seconds after restarting PostgreSQL on any node before running repmgr service pause, as the repmgrd instance on the restarted node will take a second or two before it has updated its status.

Prerequisites

PostgreSQL must be accessible on all nodes (using the conninfo string shown by repmgr cluster show) from the node where repmgr service pause is executed.

Execution

repmgr service unpause can be executed on any active node in the replication cluster. A valid repmgr.conf file is required. It will have no effect on nodes which are not already paused.

Example

$ repmgr -f /etc/repmgr.conf service unpause
NOTICE: node 1 (node1) unpaused
NOTICE: node 2 (node2) unpaused
NOTICE: node 3 (node3) unpaused

Options

--dry-run

Check if nodes are reachable but don't unpause repmgrd.

Exit codes

One of the following exit codes will be emitted by repmgr service unpause:

SUCCESS (0)

repmgrd could be unpaused on all nodes.

ERR_REPMGRD_PAUSE (26)

repmgrd could not be unpaused on one or mode nodes.
