YAML Configuration Settings
===========================
Global/Universal
----------------
- **name**: the name of the host. Must be unique for the cluster.
- **namespace**: path within the configuration store where Patroni will keep information about the cluster. Default value: "/service"
- **scope**: cluster name
Bootstrap configuration
-----------------------
- **dcs**: This section will be written into `/<namespace>/<scope>/config` of a given configuration store after initializing of new cluster. This is the global configuration for the cluster. If you want to change some parameters for all cluster nodes - just do it in DCS (or via Patroni API) and all nodes will apply this configuration.
- **loop\_wait**: the number of seconds the loop will sleep. Default value: 10
- **ttl**: the TTL to acquire the leader lock. Think of it as the length of time before initiation of the automatic failover process. Default value: 30
- **maximum\_lag\_on\_failover**: the maximum bytes a follower may lag to be able to participate in leader election.
- **postgresql**:
- **use\_pg\_rewind**:whether or not to use pg_rewind
- **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.
- **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.
- **initdb**: List options to be passed on to initdb.
- **- data-checksums**: Must be enabled when pg_rewind is needed on 9.3.
- **- encoding: UTF8**: default encoding for new databases.
- **- locale: UTF8**: default locale for new databases.
- **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.
- **users**: Some additional users users which needs to be created after initializing new cluster
- **admin**: the name of user
- **password: zalando**:
- **options**: list of options for CREATE USER statement
- **- createrole**
- **- createdb**
Consul
------
- **host**: the host:port for the Consul endpoint.
Etcd
----
- **host**: the host:port for the etcd endpoint.
Exhibitor
---------
- **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.
PostgreSQL
----------
- **authentication**:
- **superuser**:
- **username**: name for the superuser, set during initialization (initdb) and later used by Patroni to connect to the postgres.
- **password**: password for the superuser, set during initialization (initdb).
- **replication**:
- **username**: replication username; the user will be created during initialization. Replicas will use this user to access master via streaming replication
- **password**: replication password; the user will be created during initialization.
- **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**: The location of the Postgres data directory, either existing or to be initialized by Patroni.
- **bin\_dir**: Path to PostgreSQL binaries. (pg_ctl, pg_rewind, pg_basebackup, postgres) The default value is an empty string meaning that PATH environment variable will be used to find the executables.
- **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.
- **pgpass**: path to the `.pgpass <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/libpq-pgpass.html>`__ password file. Patroni creates this file before executing pg\_basebackup and under some other circumstances. The location must be writable by Patroni.
- **recovery\_conf**: additional configuration settings written to recovery.conf when configuring follower.
- **custom_conf** : path to an optional custom ``postgresql.conf`` file, that will be used in place of ``postgresql.base.conf``. The file must exist on all cluster nodes, be readable by PostgreSQL and will be included from its location on the real ``postgresql.conf``. Note that Patroni will not monitor this file for changes, nor backup it. However, its settings can still be overriden by Patroni's own configuration facilities - see `dynamic configuration <https://github.com/zalando/patroni/blob/master/docs/dynamic_configuration.rst>`__ for details.
- **parameters**: list of configuration settings for Postgres. Many of these are required for replication to work.
- **pg\_ctl\_timeout**: How long should pg_ctl wait when doing ``start``, ``stop`` or ``restart``. Default value is 60 seconds.
- **use\_pg\_rewind**: try to use pg\_rewind on the former leader when it joins cluster as a replica.
- **remove\_data\_directory\_on\_rewind\_failure**: If this option is enabled, Patroni will remove postgres data directory and recreate replica. Otherwise it will try to follow the new leader. Default value is **false**.
- **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".
REST API
--------
- **connect\_address**: IP address and port to access the REST API.
- **listen**: IP address and port that Patroni will listen to, to provide health-check information for HAProxy.
- **Optional**:
- **authentication**:
- **username**: Basic-auth username to protect unsafe REST API endpoints.
- **password**: Basic-auth password to protect unsafe REST API endpoints.
- **certfile**: Specifies the 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 the file with the secret key in the PEM format.
ZooKeeper
----------
- **hosts**: list of ZooKeeper cluster members in format: ['host1:port1', 'host2:port2', 'etc...'].
