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.
