displays the watchdog status of the Pgpool-II

## NAME

## SYNOPSIS

**pcp\_watchdog\_info** \[*options*...\] \[*watchdog\_id*\]

## DESCRIPTION

**pcp\_watchdog\_info** displays the information on the given node ID.

## OPTIONS

- **-n** *watchdog\_id* **--node-id=***watchdog\_id*

  The index of other Pgpool-II to get information for.

  Index 0 gets one's self watchdog information.

  If omitted then gets information of all watchdog nodes.

**Other options**

See [**pcp\_common\_options**(1)](/pcp_common_options/1.md).

## EXAMPLE

Here is an example output:

```
$ pcp_watchdog_info -h localhost -p 9898 -U postgres
Password:
3 3 YES server1:9999 Linux server1.localdomain server1
server1:9999 Linux server1.localdomain server1 9999 9000 4 LEADER 0 MEMBER
server2:9999 Linux server2.localdomain server2 9999 9000 7 STANDBY 0 MEMBER
server3:9999 Linux server3.localdomain server3 9999 9000 7 STANDBY 0 MEMBER
```

The result is in the following order:

```
    The first output line describes the watchdog cluster information:
    1. Total watchdog nodes in the cluster
    2. Total watchdog nodes in the cluster with active membership
    3. Local node's escalation status
    4. Leader node name
    5. Leader node host
```

```
    Next is the list of watchdog nodes:
    1. node name
    2. hostname
    3. pgpool port
    4. watchdog port
    5. current node state
    6. current node state name
    7. current cluster membership status
    8. current cluster membership status name
```

The **--verbose** option can help understand the output. For example:

```
$ pcp_watchdog_info -h localhost -p 9898 -U pgpool -v
