barman-switch-wal1
Barman sub-commands
Overview
Execute pg_switch_wal() on the target server (Postgres versions 10 and later) or pg_switch_xlog() (for Postgres versions 8.3 to 9.6).
Parameters
SERVER_NAME-
Name of the server in barman node
--archive-
Waits for one WAL file to be archived. If no WAL file is archived within a specified time (default:
30seconds), Barman will terminate with a failure exit code. This option is also available on standby servers.
--archive-timeout-
Specify the amount of time in seconds (default:
30seconds) that the archiver will wait for a new WAL file to be archived before timing out. This option is also available on standby servers.
--force-
Forces the switch by executing a CHECKPOINT before
pg_switch_wal().NOTE:
Running a CHECKPOINT may increase I/O load on the Postgres server, so use this option cautiously.
