wd_cli(1)

Usage

wd_cli [operation ...] [node search option ...] [option ...]

Overview

wd_cli Provides a convenient and easy to use interface to interact with watchdog and perform health check related node operations.

Operations

-i
--info

Get the node status for node(s) based on node search criteria

-I NEW_STATUS
--inform=NEW_STATUS

Update the watchdog node status. Allowed values are DEAD and ALIVE

Options

-a --all: Select all nodes (only available with --info operation)

-n WATCHDOG_NODE_ID --node-id=WATCHDOG_NODE_ID: Select watchdog node by node_id.

-N NODE_NAME --node-name=NODE_NAME: Select watchdog node by name.

-H HOSTNAME --node-host=HOSTNAME: Select watchdog node by hostname.

-P PORT_NO --node-port=PORT_NO: Select watchdog node by port number.

Options

-k KEY --auth-key=KEY: Watchdog auth key. Specifying auth-key over rides the pgpool.conf->wd_authkey value.

-f CONFIG_FILE --config-file=CONFIG_FILE: Specifies the pgpool.conf file.

-s SOCKET_DIR --socket-dir=SOCKET_DIR: Path to the watchdog IPC socket directory. Specifying socket-dir over rides the pgpool.conf->wd_ipc_socket_dir value.

-p PORT_NO --ipc-port=PORT_NO: Port number of watchdog IPC socket. Specifying ipc-port over rides the pgpool.conf->wd_port value.

-m message_string --message=message_string: Optional message string to be passed to Pgpool-II along with the node status.

-v --verbose: Enable verbose messages.

-V --version: Prints version information.

-d --debug: Enable debug output.

-h --help: Prints the help for wd_cli.

Examples

When some external health-check system is configured to monitor the health of Pgpool-II cluster and it detects a node failure. wd_cli utility can be used to pass this information to Pgpool-II cluster so that it can take the appropriate actions.

    #inform Pgpool-II about node named RN-110 failure
    wd_cli --inform DEAD -N 'RN-110' -p 9001 -m 'Pgpool node with name RN-110 is not reachable'

    #inform Pgpool-II about node-id 10 failure
    wd_cli --inform DEAD -n 10 -m 'Pgpool node with ID 10 is not responding'

Similarly to inform Pgpool-II about the node is alive again.

    #inform Pgpool-II about node-id 10 re-joining
    wd_cli --inform ALIVE -n 10 -m 'Pgpool node with ID 10 is reachable again'

wd_cli can also be used to get the current status of cluster nodes.

    wd_cli -f simple_conf/watchdog/pgpool_wd1.conf --info -v --all
