.. _patronictl:

patronictl
==========

Patroni has a command-line interface named ``patronictl``, which is used basically to interact with Patroni's REST API and with the DCS. It is intended to make it easier to perform operations in the cluster, and can easily be used by humans or scripts.

.. _patronictl_configuration:

Configuration
-------------

``patronictl`` uses 3 sections of the configuration:

- **ctl**: how to authenticate against the Patroni REST API, and how to validate the server identity. Refer to :ref:`ctl settings <patronictl_settings>` for more details;
- **restapi**: how to authenticate against the Patroni REST API, and how to validate the server identity. Only used if ``ctl`` configuration is not enough. ``patronictl`` is mainly interested in ``restapi.authentication`` section (in case ``ctl.authentication`` is missing) and ``restapi.cafile`` setting (in case ``ctl.cacert`` is missing). Refer to :ref:`REST API settings <restapi_settings>` for more details;
- DCS (e.g. **etcd**): how to contact and authenticate against the DCS used by Patroni.

Those configuration options can come either from environment variables or from a configuration file. Look for the above sections in :ref:`Environment Configuration Settings <environment>` or :ref:`YAML Configuration Settings <yaml_configuration>` to understand how you can set the options for them through environment variables or through a configuration file.

If you opt for using environment variables, it's a straight forward approach. Patronictl will read the environment variables and use their values.

If you opt for using a configuration file, you have different ways to inform ``patronictl`` about the file to be used. By default ``patronictl`` will attempt to load a configuration file named ``patronictl.yaml``, which is expected to be found under either of these paths, according to your system:

- Mac OS X: ``~/Library/Application Support/patroni``
- Mac OS X (POSIX): ``~/.patroni``
- Unix: ``~/.config/patroni``
- Unix (POSIX): ``~/.patroni``
- Windows (roaming): ``C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\patroni``
- Windows (not roaming): ``C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\patroni``

You can override that behavior either by:

- Setting the environment variable ``PATRONICTL_CONFIG_FILE`` with the path to a custom configuration file;
- Using the ``-c`` / ``--config-file`` command-line argument of ``patronictl`` with the path to a custom configuration file.

.. note::
    If you are running ``patronictl`` in the same host as ``patroni`` daemon is running, you may just use the same configuration file if it contains all the configuration sections required by ``patronictl``.

.. _patronictl_usage:

Usage
-----

``patronictl`` exposes several handy operations. This section is intended to describe each of them.

Before jumping into each of the sub-commands of ``patronictl``, be aware that ``patronictl`` itself has the following command-line arguments:

``-c`` / ``--config-file``
    As explained before, used to provide a path to a configuration file for ``patronictl``.

``-d`` / ``--dcs-url`` / ``--dcs``
    Provide a connection string to the DCS used by Patroni.

    This argument can be used either to override the DCS and ``namespace`` settings from the ``patronictl`` configuration, or to define it if it's missing in the configuration.

    The value should be in the format ``DCS://HOST:PORT/NAMESPACE``, e.g. ``etcd3://localhost:2379/service`` to connect to etcd v3 running on ``localhost`` with Patroni cluster stored under ``service`` namespace. Any part that is missing in the argument value will be replaced with the value present in the configuration or with its default.

``-k`` / ``--insecure``
    Flag to bypass validation of REST API server SSL certificate.

This is the synopsis for running a command from the ``patronictl``:

.. code:: text

    patronictl [ { -c | --config-file } CONFIG_FILE ]
      [ { -d | --dcs-url | --dcs } DCS_URL ] 
      [ { -k | --insecure } ]
      SUBCOMMAND

.. note::

    This is the syntax for the synopsis:

    - Options between square brackets are optional;
    - Options between curly brackets represent a "choose one of set" operation;
    - Options with ``[, ... ]`` can be specified multiple times;
    - Things written in uppercase represent a literal that should be given a value to.

    We will use this same syntax when describing ``patronictl`` sub-commands in the following sub-sections.
    Also, when describing sub-commands in the following sub-sections, the commands' synposis should be seen as a replacement for the ``SUBCOMMAND`` in the above synopsis.

In the following sub-sections you can find a description of each command implemented by ``patronictl``. For sake of example, we will use the configuration files present in the GitHub repository of Patroni (files ``postgres0.yml``, ``postgres1.yml`` and ``postgres2.yml``).

``patronictl topology`` shows information about the Patroni cluster and its members with a tree view approach.

The following information is included in the output:

``Cluster``
    Name of the Patroni cluster.

    .. note::
        Shown in the table header.

``System identifier``
    Postgres system identifier.

    .. note::
        Shown in the table header.

``Member``
    Name of the Patroni member.

    .. note::
        Information in this column is shown as a tree view of members in terms of replication connections.

``Host``
    Host where the member is located.

``Role``
    Current role of the member.

    Can be one among:

    * ``Leader``: the current leader of a regular Patroni cluster; or
    * ``Standby Leader``: the current leader of a Patroni standby cluster; or
    * ``Sync Standby``: a synchronous standby of a Patroni cluster with synchronous mode enabled; or
    * ``Replica``: a regular standby of a Patroni cluster.

``State``
    Current state of Postgres in the Patroni member.

    Some examples among the possible states:

    * ``running``: if Postgres is currently up and running;
    * ``streaming``: if a replica and Postgres is currently streaming WALs from the primary node;
    * ``in archive recovery``: if a replica and Postgres is currently fetching WALs from the archive;
    * ``stopped``: if Postgres had been shut down;
    * ``crashed``: if Postgres has crashed.

``TL``
    Current Postgres timeline in the Patroni member.

``Lag in MB``
    Amount worth of replication lag in megabytes between the Patroni member and its upstream.

Besides that, the following information may be included in the output:

``Group``
    Citus group ID.

    .. note::
        Shown in the table header.

        Only shown if a Citus cluster.

``Pending restart``
    ``*`` indicates the node needs a restart for some Postgres configuration to take effect. An empty value indicates the node does not require a restart.

    .. note::
        Shown as a member attribute.

        Shown if node requires a restart.

``Scheduled restart``
    Timestamp at which a restart has been scheduled for the Postgres instance managed by the Patroni member. An empty value indicates there is no scheduled restart for the member.

    .. note::
        Shown as a member attribute.

        Shown if node has a scheduled restart.

``Tags``
    Contains tags set for the Patroni member. An empty value indicates that either no tags have been configured, or that they have been configured with default values.

    .. note::
        Shown as a member attribute.

        Shown if node has any custom tags, or any default tags with non-default values.

``Scheduled switchover``
    Timestamp at which a switchover has been scheduled for the Patroni cluster, if any.

    .. note::
        Shown in the table footer.

        Only shown if there is a scheduled switchover.

``Maintenance mode``

    If the cluster monitoring is currently paused.

    .. note::
