check-health

Checks the health of the EDB Postgres Distributed cluster.

Synopsis

Performs various checks such as if all nodes are accessible and all replication slots are working.

Please note that the current implementation of clock skew may return an inaccurate skew value if the cluster is under high load while running this command or has large number of nodes in it.

pgd check-health [flags]

Examples

 Example 1 (3 node cluster, bdr-a1 and bdr-c1 are up, bdr-b1 is down)

 $ pgd check-health

Check      Status   Message
-----      ------   -------
ClockSkew  Critical Clockskew cannot be determined for at least 1 BDR node pair
Connection Critical The node bdr-b1 is not accessible
Raft       Warning  There is at least 1 node that is not accessible
Replslots  Critical There is at least 1 BDR replication slot which is inactive
Version    Warning  There is at least 1 node that is not accessible

 Example 2 (3 node cluster, all nodes are up but system clocks are not in sync)

 $ pgd check-health

  Check      Status  Message
  -----      ------  -------
  ClockSkew   Warning  At least 1 BDR node pair has clockskew greater than 2 seconds
  Connection  Ok       All BDR nodes are accessible
  Raft        Ok       Raft Consensus is working correctly
  Replslots   Ok       All BDR replication slots are working correctly
  Version     Ok       All nodes are running same BDR versions

 Example 3 (3 node cluster, all nodes are up and all checks are Ok)

 $ pgd check-health

 Check      Status Message
 -----      ------ -------
 ClockSkew  Ok     All BDR node pairs have clockskew within permissible limit
 Connection Ok     All BDR nodes are accessible
 Raft       Ok     Raft Consensus is working correctly
 Replslots  Ok     All BDR replication slots are working correctly
 Version    Ok     All nodes are running same BDR versions
