Configuring repmgr v23
TPA will install repmgr on all postgres instances that have the
failover_manager instance variable set to repmgr; this is the
default setting.
The directory of the repmgr configuration file defaults to
/etc/repmgr/<version>, where <version> is the major version
of postgres being installed on this instance, but can be
changed by setting the repmgr_conf_dir variable for the instance.
The configuration file itself is always called repmgr.conf.
The default repmgr configuration will set up automatic failover
between instances configured with the role primary and the role
replica.
repmgr configuration
The following instance variables can be set:
repmgr_priority: sets priority in the config file
repmgr_location: sets location in the config file
repmgr_reconnect_attempts: sets reconnect_attempts in the config file, default 6
repmgr_reconnect_interval: sets reconnect_interval in the config file, default 10
repmgr_use_slots: sets use_replication_slots in the config file, default 1
repmgr_failover: sets failover in the config file, default automatic
Any extra settings in repmgr_conf_settings will also be passed through
into the repmgr config file.
repmgr on BDR instances
On BDR instances, repmgr_failover will be set to manual by default.
