YAML Configuration Settings
- *loop\_wait*: the number of seconds the loop will sleep.
- *ttl*: the TTL to acquire the leader lock. Think of it as the length of time before initiation of the automatic failover process.
Consul
---------------
- *host*: the host:port for the Consul endpoint.
- *scope*: the relative path used on Consul's HTTP API for this deployment; makes it possible to run multiple HA deployments from a single Consul cluster.
- *ttl*: the TTL to acquire the leader lock. Think of it as the length of time before initiation of the automatic failover process.
etcd
---------------
- *host*: the host:port for the etcd endpoint.
- *scope*: the relative path used on etcd's HTTP API for this deployment. Makes it possible to run multiple HA deployments from a single etcd cluster.
- *ttl*: the TTL to acquire the leader lock. Think of it as the length of time before initiation of the automatic failover process.
PostgreSQL
---------------
- *admin*:
- *password*: admin password; user is created during initialization.
- *username*: admin username; user is created during initialization. It will have CREATEDB and CREATEROLE privileges.
- *callbacks*: callback scripts to run on certain actions. Patroni will pass the action, role and cluster name. (See scripts/aws.py as an example of how to write them.)
- *on\_reload*: run this script when configuration reload is triggered.
- *on\_restart*: run this script when the cluster restarts.
- *on\_role\_change*: run this script when the cluster is being promoted or demoted.
- *on\_start*: run this script when the cluster starts.
- *on\_stop*: run this script when the cluster stops.
- *connect\_address*: IP address + port through which Postgres is accessible from other nodes and applications.
- *create\_replica\_methods*: an ordered list of the create methods for turning a Patroni node into a new replica. "basebackup" is the default method; other methods are assumed to refer to scripts, each of which is configured as its own config item.
- *data\_dir*: file path to initialize and store Postgres data files.
- *initdb*: List options to be passed on to initdb.
- *data-checksums*: Must be enabled when pg_rewind is needed on 9.3.
- *encoding*: default encoding for new databases.
- *locale*: default locale for new databases.
- *listen*: IP address + port that Postgres listens to; must be accessible from other nodes in the cluster, if you're using streaming replication. Multiple comma-separated addresses are permitted, as long as the port component is appended after to the last one with a colon, i.e. ``listen: 127.0.0.1,127.0.0.2:5432``. Patroni will use the first address from this list to establish local connections to the PostgreSQL node.
- *maximum\_lag\_on\_failover*: the maximum bytes a follower may lag.
- *name*: the name of the Postgres host. Must be unique for the cluster.
- *pg\_hba*: list of lines that you should add to pg\_hba.conf.
- *- host all all 0.0.0.0/0 md5*.
- *- host replication replicator 127.0.0.1/32 md5* # A line like this is required for replication.
- *recovery\_conf*: additional configuration settings written to recovery.conf when configuring follower.
- *parameters*: list of configuration settings for Postgres. Many of these are required for replication to work.
- *replica\_method* for each create_replica_method other than basebackup, you would add a configuration section of the same name. At a minimum, this should include "command" with a full path to the actual script to be executed. Other configuration parameters will be passed along to the script in the form "parameter=value".
- *replication*:
- *username*: replication username; user will be created during initialization.
- *password*: replication password; user will be created during initialization.
- *use\_slots*: whether or not to use replication_slots. Must be False for PostgreSQL 9.3. You should comment out max_replication_slots before it becomes ineligible for leader status.
- *superuser*:
- *password*: password for the Postgres user, set during initialization.
REST API
---------------
- *connect\_address*: IP address and port through which restapi is accessible.
- *listen*: IP address and port that Patroni will listen to, to provide health-check information for HAProxy.
-* Optional*:
- *auth*: 'username:password' to protect dangerous REST API endpoints.
- *certfile*: Specifies a file with the certificate in the PEM format. If the certfile is not specified or is left empty, the API server will work without SSL.
- *keyfile*: Specifies a file with the secret key in the PEM format.
ZooKeeper
---------------
- *hosts*: list of ZooKeeper cluster members in format: ['host1:port1', 'host2:port2', 'etc...'].
- *reconnect\_timeout*: how long you should try to reconnect to ZooKeeper after a connection loss. After this timeout, assume that you no longer have a lock and restart in read-only mode.
- *scope*: the relative path used on ZooKeeper for this deployment. Makes it possible to run multiple HA deployments from a single ZooKeeper cluster.
- *session\_timeout*: the TTL to acquire the leader lock. Think of it as the length of time before initiation of the automatic failover process.
(subsection)ZooKeeper Exhibitor
If you are running a ZooKeeper cluster under the Exhibitor supervisory, this section might interest you:
- *hosts*: initial list of Exhibitor (ZooKeeper) nodes in format: ['host1', 'host2', 'etc...' ]. This list updates automatically whenever the Exhibitor (ZooKeeper) cluster topology changes.
- *poll\_interval*: how often the list of ZooKeeper and Exhibitor nodes should be updated from Exhibitor
- *port*: Exhibitor port.
