NAME

pg_autoctl set formation number-sync-standbys - pg_autoctl set formation number-sync-standbys

pg_autoctl set formation number-sync-standbys - set number_sync_standbys for a formation from the monitor

SYNOPSIS

This command set a pg_autoctl replication settings for number sync standbys:

usage: pg_autoctl set formation number-sync-standbys  [ --pgdata ] [ --json ] [ --formation ] <number_sync_standbys>
--pgdata      path to data directory
--formation   pg_auto_failover formation
--json        output data in the JSON format

DESCRIPTION

The pg_auto_failover monitor ensures that at least N+1 candidate standby nodes are registered when number-sync-standbys is N. This means that to be able to run the following command, at least 3 standby nodes with a non-zero candidate priority must be registered to the monitor:

$ pg_autoctl set formation number-sync-standbys 2
