PGPOOL_SHOW - show the value of a configuration parameter


PGPOOL SHOW configuration_parameter
PGPOOL SHOW configuration_parameter_group
PGPOOL SHOW ALL

PGPOOL SHOW will display the current value of Pgpool-II configuration parameters. This command is similar to the SHOW[1] command in PostgreSQL with an addition of PGPOOL keyword to distinguish it from the PostgreSQL SHOW command.

configuration_parameter

The name of a Pgpool-II configuration parameter. Available parameters are documented in Chapter 5, Server Configuration, in the documentation.


Note
If the parameter contains uppercase letters (e.g. delegate_IP), the parameter name must be enclosed in double quotes.

configuration_parameter_group

The name of the Pgpool-II configuration parameter group. Currently there are three parameter groups.

backend

Configuration group of all backend config parameters.

watchdog

Configuration group of all watchdog node config parameters.

heartbeat

configuration group of all watchdog heartbeat config parameters.

health_check

configuration group of all health check parameters.
