Обсуждение: What are the minimum required permissions for pg_isready
The following documentation comment has been logged on the website: Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/16/app-pg-isready.html Description: Hello, The documentation does not specify what are the minimum required permissions for setting up pg_isready . I was wondering if this could be added so devops teams know how to create a user that is used only for monitoring postgresql. I assume this user will need to connect and nothing else ? I also assume we would need to drop public access for that user ? Thanks, Eugen

There are none. Per the documentation:
It is not necessary to supply correct user name, password, or
database name values to obtain the server status; however, if
incorrect values are provided, the server will log a failed
connection attempt.
If you don't want log spam about failed connections, you'd need
a user with privilege to connect to the mentioned database.
Otherwise, not.
