Description

PG_AUTOCTL SHOW EVENTS

NAME

pg_autoctl show events - pg_autoctl show events

pg_autoctl show events - Prints monitor's state of nodes in a given formation and group

SYNOPSIS

This command outputs the events that the pg_auto_failover events records about state changes of the pg_auto_failover nodes managed by the monitor:

usage: pg_autoctl show events [ --pgdata --formation --group --count ]

--pgdata path to data directory
--monitor pg_auto_failover Monitor Postgres URL
--formation formation to query, defaults to 'default'
--group group to query formation, defaults to all
--count how many events to fetch, defaults to 10
--watch display an auto-updating dashboard
--json output data in the JSON format

OPTIONS

--pgdata

Location of the Postgres node being managed locally. Defaults to the environment variable PGDATA. Use --monitor to connect to a monitor from anywhere, rather than the monitor URI used by a local Postgres node managed with pg_autoctl.

--monitor

Postgres URI used to connect to the monitor. Must use the autoctl_node username and target the pg_auto_failover database name. It is possible to show the Postgres URI from the monitor node using the command pg_autoctl show uri.

--formation

List the events recorded for nodes in the given formation. Defaults to default.

--count

By default only the last 10 events are printed.

--watch

Take control of the terminal and display the current state of the system and the last events from the monitor. The display is updated automatically every 500 milliseconds (half a second) and reacts properly to window size change.

Depending on the terminal window size, a different set of columns is visible in the state part of the output. See pg_autoctl watch.

--json

Output a JSON formatted data instead of a table formatted list.

ENVIRONMENT

PGDATA

Postgres directory location. Can be used instead of the --pgdata option.

PG_AUTOCTL_MONITOR

Postgres URI to connect to the monitor node, can be used instead of the --monitor option.

XDG_CONFIG_HOME

The pg_autoctl command stores its configuration files in the standard place XDG_CONFIG_HOME. See the XDG Base Directory Specification.

XDG_DATA_HOME

The pg_autoctl command stores its internal states files in the standard place XDG_DATA_HOME, which defaults to ˜/.local/share. See the XDG Base Directory Specification.
