2ndQuadrant today announced the release of repmgr 4.0.6.
[https://www.2ndquadrant.com/en/resources/repmgr/]
repmgr is the most popular tool for PostgreSQL replication and
failover management. It enhances and complements the built-in
replication capabilities in PostgreSQL, making it easy to set up and
manage standby servers, check replication status, and perform
administrative tasks such as switchover operations. The repmgrd daemon
provides automatic failover capability to maximize database uptime,
and can easily be integrated with other tools such as PgBouncer for
high application availability.
This release contains usability enhancements and bug fixes. Packages
are available via public RPM and APT repositories from 2ndQuadrant.
Installation packages documentation is available here:
https://repmgr.org/docs/4.0/installation-packages.html
Usability enhancements included in repmgr 4.0.6 are:
- Detect node connection issues. Return non-zero exit code in case
repmgr_cluster_crosscheck and repmgr_cluster_matrix return an error.
- Improve handling of external file copying configuration. Additional
checks are performed before cloning a standby, making sure
configuration files are properly copied.
- Force log level to INFO. Ensure --dry-run option output is always displayed.
For a detailed list of all changes and bug fixes, please read the full
release notes here: https://repmgr.org/docs/4.0/release-4.0.6.html
We recommend upgrading to this version as soon as possible. This
release can be installed as a simple package upgrade from repmgr 4.x;
repmgrd (if running) should be restarted.
