`INFRA`

Parameters about pigsty infrastructure components: local yum repo, nginx, dnsmasq, prometheus, grafana, loki, alertmanager, pushgateway, blackbox_exporter, etc…

`META`

This section contains some metadata of current pigsty deployments, such as version string, admin node IP address, repo mirror region and http(s) proxy when downloading pacakges.

version: v2.6.0                   # pigsty version string
admin_ip: 10.10.10.10             # admin node ip address
region: default                   # upstream mirror region: default,china,europe
proxy_env:                        # global proxy env when downloading packages
  no_proxy: "localhost,127.0.0.1,10.0.0.0/8,192.168.0.0/16,*.pigsty,*.aliyun.com,mirrors.*,*.myqcloud.com,*.tsinghua.edu.cn"
  # http_proxy:  # set your proxy here: e.g http://user:pass@proxy.xxx.com
  # https_proxy: # set your proxy here: e.g http://user:pass@proxy.xxx.com
  # all_proxy:   # set your proxy here: e.g http://user:pass@proxy.xxx.com

`version`

pigsty version string

default value:v2.6.0

It will be used for pigsty introspection & content rendering.

`admin_ip`

admin node ip address

default value:10.10.10.10

Node with this ip address will be treated as admin node, usually point to the first node that install Pigsty.

The default value 10.10.10.10 is a placeholder which will be replaced during configure

This parameter is referenced by many other parameters, such as:

The exact string ${admin_ip} will be replaced with the actual admin_ip for above parameters.

`region`

upstream mirror region: default,china,europe

default value: default

If a region other than default is set, and there’s a corresponding entry in repo_upstream.[repo].baseurl, it will be used instead of default.

For example, if china is used, pigsty will use China mirrors designated in repo_upstream if applicable.

`proxy_env`

global proxy env when downloading packages

default value:

proxy_env: # global proxy env when downloading packages
  http_proxy: 'http://username:password@proxy.address.com'
  https_proxy: 'http://username:password@proxy.address.com'
  all_proxy: 'http://username:password@proxy.address.com'
  no_proxy: "localhost,127.0.0.1,10.0.0.0/8,192.168.0.0/16,*.pigsty,*.aliyun.com,mirrors.aliyuncs.com,mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn,mirrors.zju.edu.cn"

It’s quite important to use http proxy in restricted production environment, or your Internet access is blocked (e.g. Mainland China)

`CA`

Self-Signed CA used by pigsty. It is required to support advanced security features.

ca_method: create                 # create,recreate,copy, create by default
ca_cn: pigsty-ca                  # ca common name, fixed as pigsty-ca
cert_validity: 7300d              # cert validity, 20 years by default

`ca_method`

available options: create,recreate,copy

default value: create

create: Create a new CA public-private key pair if not exists, use if exists
recreate: Always re-create a new CA public-private key pair
copy: Copy the existing CA public and private keys from local files/pki/ca, abort if missing

If you already have a pair of ca.crt and ca.key, put them under files/pki/ca and set ca_method to copy.

`ca_cn`

ca common name, not recommending to change it.

default value: pigsty-ca

you can check that with openssl x509 -text -in /etc/pki/ca.crt

`cert_validity`

cert validity, 20 years by default, which is enough for most scenarios

default value: 7300d

`INFRA_ID`

Infrastructure identity and portal definition.

#infra_seq: 1                     # infra node identity, explicitly required
infra_portal:                     # infra services exposed via portal
  home         : { domain: h.pigsty }
  grafana      : { domain: g.pigsty ,endpoint: "${admin_ip}:3000" ,websocket: true }
  prometheus   : { domain: p.pigsty ,endpoint: "${admin_ip}:9090" }
  alertmanager : { domain: a.pigsty ,endpoint: "${admin_ip}:9093" }
  blackbox     : { endpoint: "${admin_ip}:9115" }
  loki         : { endpoint: "${admin_ip}:3100" }

`infra_seq`

infra node identity, REQUIRED, no default value, you have to assign it explicitly.

`infra_portal`

infra services exposed via portal.

default value will expose home, grafana, prometheus, alertmanager via nginx with corresponding domain names.

infra_portal:                     # infra services exposed via portal
  home         : { domain: h.pigsty }
  grafana      : { domain: g.pigsty ,endpoint: "${admin_ip}:3000" ,websocket: true }
  prometheus   : { domain: p.pigsty ,endpoint: "${admin_ip}:9090" }
  alertmanager : { domain: a.pigsty ,endpoint: "${admin_ip}:9093" }
  blackbox     : { endpoint: "${admin_ip}:9115" }
  loki         : { endpoint: "${admin_ip}:3100" }

Each record consists of a key-value dictionary, with name as the key representing the component name, and the value containing the REQUIRED domain field representing the domain name.

domain is the domain name used for external access. It will be added to the Nginx SSL cert SAN field.
- The name of the default record is fixed and referenced by other modules, so DO NOT modify the default entry names.
endpoint is a TCP socket that can be reached internally. If specified, Nginx will forward requests to the address specified by endpoint.
- If the ${admin_ip} is included in the endpoint, it will be replaced with the actual admin_ip at runtime.
path is a path that can be accessed locally. If specified, it will be used as the root of the local web server, and Nginx will forward requests local files.
- endpoint and path are mutually exclusive, you can choose between being an upstream proxy or a local web server in one entry.
websocket is set to true, http protocol will be auto upgraded for ws connections.
- When the upstream uses WebSocket, you can enable this option (e.g. Grafana/Jupyter)
schema is given (http or https), it will be used as part of the proxy_pass URL.
- When upstream require https instead of http for proxy, use this option (e.g. MinIO )

`REPO`

This section is about local software repo. Pigsty will create a local software repo (APT/YUM) when init an infra node.

In the initialization process, Pigsty will download all packages and their dependencies (specified by repo_packages) from the Internet upstream repo (specified by repo_upstream) to {{ nginx_home }} / {{ repo_name }} (default is /www/pigsty), and the total size of all dependent software is about 1GB or so.

When creating a local repo, Pigsty will skip the software download phase if the directory already exists and if there is a marker file named repo_complete in the dir.

If the download speed of some packages is too slow, you can set the download proxy to complete the first download by using the proxy_env config entry or directly download the pre-packaged offline package, which is essentially a local software source built on the same operating system.

repo_enabled: true                # create a yum repo on this infra node?
repo_home: /www                   # repo home dir, `/www` by default
repo_name: pigsty                 # repo name, pigsty by default
repo_endpoint: http://${admin_ip}:80 # access point to this repo by domain or ip:port
repo_remove: true                 # remove existing upstream repo

  - { name: "pev.html"    ,url: "https://repo.pigsty.io/etc/pev-1.12.1.html"    }
  - { name: "chart.tgz"   ,url: "https://repo.pigsty.io/etc/chart-1.0.0.tgz"    }
  - { name: "plugins.tgz" ,url: "https://repo.pigsty.io/etc/plugins-11.3.0.tgz" }

`repo_enabled`

create a yum repo on this infra node? default value: true

If you have multiple infra nodes, you can disable yum repo on other standby nodes to reduce Internet traffic.

`repo_home`

repo home dir, /www by default

`repo_name`

repo name, pigsty by default, it is not wise to change this value

`repo_endpoint`

access point to this repo by domain or ip:port, default value: http://${admin_ip}:80

If you have changed the nginx_port or nginx_ssl_port, or use a different infra node from admin node, please adjust this parameter accordingly.

The ${admin_ip} will be replaced with actual admin_ip during runtime.

`repo_remove`

remove existing upstream repo, default value: true

If you want to keep existing upstream repo, set this value to false.

`repo_modules`

which repo modules are installed in repo_upstream, default value: infra,node,pgsql

This is a comma separated value string, it is used to filter entries in repo_upstream with corresponding module field.

For Ubuntu / Debian users, you can add redis to the list: infra,node,pgsql,redis

`repo_upstream`

This param defines the upstream software repo for Pigsty. It DOES NOT have default values, you can specify it explicitly, or leaving it empty if you want to use the default values.

When leaving it empty, Pigsty will use the default values from the repo_upstream_default defined in roles/node_id/vars according to you OS.

For EL (7, 8, 9 ) system, the default values are:

Pigsty Building template oss.yml has default values for different OS distros.

`repo_packages`

This param is an array os strings, each string is a list of software packages separated by space, specifying which packages to be included & downloaded.

This param DOES NOT have a default value, you can specify it explicitly, or leaving it empty if you want to use the default values.

When leaving it empty, Pigsty will use the default values from the repo_packages_default defined in roles/node_id/vars according to you OS.

[ node-bootstrap, infra-package, infra-addons, node-package1, node-package2, pgsql-utility ]

Each element in repo_packages will be translated into a list of package names according to the package_map defined in the above file, for specific OS distro version.

For example, on EL systems, it will be translated into:

node-bootstrap:          "ansible python3 python3-pip python3-virtualenv python3-requests python3-jmespath python3-cryptography dnf-utils modulemd-tools createrepo_c sshpass"
infra-package:           "nginx dnsmasq etcd haproxy vip-manager pg_exporter pgbackrest_exporter redis_exporter redis minio mcli ferretdb duckdb"
infra-addons:            "grafana loki logcli promtail prometheus2 alertmanager pushgateway node_exporter blackbox_exporter nginx_exporter keepalived_exporter"
node-package1:           "lz4 unzip bzip2 zlib yum pv jq git ncdu make patch bash lsof wget uuid tuned nvme-cli numactl grubby sysstat iotop htop rsync tcpdump perf flamegraph chkconfig"
node-package2:           "netcat socat ftp lrzsz net-tools ipvsadm bind-utils telnet audit ca-certificates readline vim-minimal keepalived chrony openssl openssh-server openssh-clients"
pgsql-utility:           "patroni patroni-etcd pgbouncer pgbackrest pgbadger pg_activity pg_timetable pgFormatter pg_filedump pgxnclient timescaledb-tools pgcopydb pgloader"

And on Debian/Ubuntu systems, it will be translated into:

node-bootstrap:          "ansible python3 python3-pip python3-venv python3-jmespath dpkg-dev sshpass ftp linux-tools-generic"
infra-package:           "nginx dnsmasq etcd haproxy vip-manager pg-exporter pgbackrest-exporter redis-exporter redis minio mcli ferretdb duckdb"
infra-addons:            "grafana loki logcli promtail prometheus2 alertmanager pushgateway node-exporter blackbox-exporter nginx-exporter keepalived-exporter"
node-package1:           "lz4 unzip bzip2 zlib1g pv jq git ncdu make patch bash lsof wget uuid tuned nvme-cli numactl sysstat iotop htop rsync tcpdump acl chrony"
node-package2:           "netcat-openbsd socat lrzsz net-tools ipvsadm dnsutils telnet ca-certificates libreadline-dev vim-tiny keepalived openssl openssh-server openssh-client"

As a convention, repo_packages usually includes software packages that are not related to the major version of PostgreSQL (such as Infra, Node, and PGDG Common), while software packages related to the major version of PostgreSQL (kernel, extensions) are usually specified in repo_extra_packages to facilitate switching between PG major versions.

`repo_extra_packages`

This parameter is same as repo_packages, but it is used for the additional software packages that need to be downloaded. (Usually PG version ad hoc packages)

The default value is an empty list. You can override it at the cluster & instance level to specify additional software packages that need to be downloaded.

If this parameter is not explicitly defined, Pigsty will load the default value from the repo_extra_packages_default defined in roles/node_id/vars, which is:

[ pgsql-main ]

Each element in repo_packages will be translated into a list of package names according to the package_map defined in the above file, for specific OS distro version.

For example, on EL systems, it will be translated into:

postgresql$v* pg_repack_$v* wal2json_$v* pgvector_$v*

And on Debian/Ubuntu systems, it will be translated into:

postgresql-$v postgresql-client-$v postgresql-plpython3-$v postgresql-plperl-$v postgresql-pltcl-$v postgresql-server-dev-$v postgresql-$v-repack postgresql-$v-wal2json postgresql-$v-pgvector

Here $v will be replaced with the actual PostgreSQL major version number pg_version, So you can add any PG version related packages here, and Pigsty will download them for you.

`repo_url_packages`

extra packages from url, default values:

repo_url_packages:                # extra packages from url
  - { name: "pev.html"    ,url: "https://repo.pigsty.io/etc/pev-1.12.1.html"    } # Explain Visualizer
  - { name: "chart.tgz"   ,url: "https://repo.pigsty.io/etc/chart-1.0.0.tgz"    } # Grafana Maps
  - { name: "plugins.tgz" ,url: "https://repo.pigsty.io/etc/plugins-11.1.4.tgz" } # Grafana Plugins

The default entries are pev.html, chart.tgz, and plugins.tgz. which are all optional add-ons, and will be downloaded via URL from the Internet directly.

For example, if you don’t download the plugins.tgz, Pigsty will download it later during grafana setup.

You can use object list or string list in this parameter, in the latter case, Pigsty will use the url basename as the filename.

Beware that if the region is set to china, the pigsty.io will be replaced with pigsty.cc automatically.

`INFRA_PACKAGE`

These packages are installed on infra nodes only, including common rpm/deb/pip packages.

`infra_packages`

This param is an array os strings, each string is a list of common software packages separated by space, specifying which packages to be installed on INFRA nodes.

This param DOES NOT have a default value, you can specify it explicitly, or leaving it empty if you want to use the default values.

When leaving it empty, Pigsty will use the default values from the repo_packages_default defined in roles/node_id/vars according to you OS.

For EL (7/8/9) system, the default values are:

infra_packages:                   # packages to be installed on infra nodes

Each record is rendered as a navigation link to the Pigsty home page App drop-down menu, and the apps are all optional, mounted by default on the Pigsty default server under http://pigsty/.

The url parameter specifies the URL PATH for the app, with the exception that if the ${grafana} string is present in the URL, it will be automatically replaced with the Grafana domain name defined in infra_portal.

`DNS`

Pigsty will launch a default DNSMASQ server on infra nodes to serve DNS inquiry. such as h.pigsty a.pigsty p.pigsty g.pigsty and sss.pigsty for optional MinIO service.

All records will be added to infra node’s /etc/hosts.d/*.

You have to add nameserver {{ admin_ip }} to your /etc/resolv to use this dns server, and node_dns_servers will do the trick.

dns_enabled: true                 # setup dnsmasq on this infra node?
dns_port: 53                      # dns server listen port, 53 by default

binary: Install using a copy binary (copy node_exporter and pg_exporter binary directly from the meta node, not recommended)

When installing with yum, if exporter_repo_url is specified (not empty), the installation will first install the REPO file under that URL into /etc/yum.repos.d. This feature allows you to install Exporter directly without initializing the node infrastructure. It is not recommended for regular users to use binary installation. This mode is usually used for emergency troubleshooting and temporary problem fixes.

`NODE`

Node module are tuning target nodes into desired state and take it into the Pigsty monitor system.

`NODE_ID`

Each node has identity parameters that are configured through the parameters in <cluster>.hosts and <cluster>.vars. Check NODE Identity for details.

`nodename`

node instance identity, use hostname if missing, optional

no default value, Null or empty string means nodename will be set to node’s current hostname.

If node_id_from_pg is true (by default) and nodename is not explicitly defined, nodename will try to use ${pg_cluster}-${pg_seq} first, if PGSQL is not defined on this node, it will fall back to default HOSTNAME.

If nodename_overwrite is true, the node name will also be used as the HOSTNAME.

`node_cluster`

node cluster identity, use ’nodes’ if missing, optional

default values: nodes

If node_id_from_pg is true (by default) and node_cluster is not explicitly defined, node_cluster will try to use ${pg_cluster} first, if PGSQL is not defined on this node, it will fall back to default HOSTNAME.

`nodename_overwrite`

overwrite node’s hostname with nodename?

default value is true, a non-empty node name nodename will override the hostname of the current node.

When the nodename parameter is undefined or an empty string, but node_id_from_pg is true, the node name will try to use {{ pg_cluster }}-{{ pg_seq }}, borrow identity from the 1:1 PostgreSQL Instance’s ins name.

No changes are made to the hostname if the nodename is undefined, empty, or an empty string and node_id_from_pg is false.

`nodename_exchange`

exchange nodename among play hosts?

default value is false

When this parameter is enabled, node names are exchanged between the same group of nodes executing the node.yml playbook, written to /etc/hosts.

`node_id_from_pg`

use postgres identity as node identity if applicable?

default value is true

Boworrow PostgreSQL cluster & instance identity if application.

It’s useful to use same identity for postgres & node if there’s a 1:1 relationship

`NODE_DNS`

Pigsty configs static DNS records and dynamic DNS resolver for nodes.

If you already have a DNS server, set node_dns_method to none to disable dynamic DNS setup.

node_write_etc_hosts: true        # modify `/etc/hosts` on target node?
node_default_etc_hosts:           # static dns records in `/etc/hosts`
  - "${admin_ip} h.pigsty a.pigsty p.pigsty g.pigsty"
node_etc_hosts: []                # extra static dns records in `/etc/hosts`

node_dns_servers: ['${admin_ip}'] # dynamic nameserver in `/etc/resolv.conf`
node_dns_options:                 # dns resolv options in `/etc/resolv.conf`
  - options single-request-reopen timeout:1

node_write_etc_hosts

modify /etc/hosts on target node?

For example, the docker VM can not modify /etc/hosts by default, so you can set this value to false to disable the modification.

`node_default_etc_hosts`

static dns records in /etc/hosts

default value:

["${admin_ip} h.pigsty a.pigsty p.pigsty g.pigsty"]

node_default_etc_hosts is an array. Each element is a DNS record with format <ip> <name>.

It is used for global static DNS records. You can use node_etc_hosts for ad hoc records for each cluster.

Make sure to write a DNS record like 10.10.10.10 h.pigsty a.pigsty p.pigsty g.pigsty to /etc/hosts to ensure that the local yum repo can be accessed using the domain name before the DNS Nameserver starts.

`node_etc_hosts`

extra static dns records in /etc/hosts

default values: []

Same as node_default_etc_hosts, but in addition to it.

`node_dns_method`

how to handle dns servers: add,none,overwrite

default values: add

add: Append the records in node_dns_servers to /etc/resolv.conf and keep the existing DNS servers. (default)
overwrite: Overwrite /etc/resolv.conf with the record in node_dns_servers
none: If a DNS server is provided in the production env, the DNS server config can be skipped.

`node_dns_servers`

dynamic nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf

default values: ["${admin_ip}"] , the default nameserver on admin node will be added to /etc/resolv.conf as the first nameserver.

#node_default_packages: []        # default packages to be installed on infra nodes, (defaults are load from node_id/vars)

`node_repo_modules`

upstream repo to be added on node, default value: local

This parameter specifies the upstream repo to be added to the node. It is used to filter the repo_upstream entries and only the entries with the same module value will be added to the node’s software source. Which is similar to the repo_modules parameter.

`node_repo_remove`

remove existing repo on node?

default value is true, and thus Pigsty will move existing repo file in /etc/yum.repos.d to a backup dir: /etc/yum.repos.d/backup before adding upstream repos On Debian/Ubuntu, Pigsty will backup & move /etc/apt/sources.list(.d) to /etc/apt/backup.

`node_packages`

packages to be installed current nodes, default values: [openssh-server].

Each element is a comma-separated list of package names, which will be installed on the current node in addition to node_default_packages

Packages specified in this parameter will be upgraded to the latest version, and the default value is [openssh-server], which will upgrade sshd by default to avoid SSH CVE.

This parameters is usually used to install additional software packages that is ad hoc for the current node/cluster.

`node_default_packages`

default packages to be installed on all nodes, the default values is not defined.

This param is an array os strings, each string is a comma-separated list of package names, which will be installed on all nodes by default.

This param DOES NOT have a default value, you can specify it explicitly, or leaving it empty if you want to use the default values.

When leaving it empty, Pigsty will use the default values from the node_packages_default defined in roles/node_id/vars according to you OS.

For EL system, the default values are:

`node_disable_firewall`

disable node firewall? true by default

default value is true

`node_disable_selinux`

disable node selinux? true by default

default value is true

`node_disable_numa`

disable node numa, reboot required

default value is false

Boolean flag, default is not off. Note that turning off NUMA requires a reboot of the machine before it can take effect!

If you don’t know how to set the CPU affinity, it is recommended to turn off NUMA.

`node_disable_swap`

disable node swap, use with caution

default value is false

But turning off SWAP is not recommended. But SWAP should be disabled when your node is used for a Kubernetes deployment.

If there is enough memory and the database is deployed exclusively. it may slightly improve performance

`node_static_network`

preserve dns resolver settings after reboot, default value is true

Enabling static networking means that machine reboots will not overwrite your DNS Resolv config with NIC changes. It is recommended to enable it in production environment.

`node_hugepage_count`

number of 2MB hugepage, take precedence over ratio, 0 by default

Take precedence over node_hugepage_ratio. If a non-zero value is given, it will be written to /etc/sysctl.d/hugepage.conf

If node_hugepage_count and node_hugepage_ratio are both 0 (default), hugepage will be disabled at all.

Negative value will not work, and number higher than 90% node mem will be ceil to 90% of node mem.

It should slightly larger than pg_shared_buffer_ratio, if not zero.

`node_hugepage_ratio`

node mem hugepage ratio, 0 disable it by default, valid range: 0 ~ 0.40

default values: 0, which will set vm.nr_hugepages=0 and not use HugePage at all.

Percent of this memory will be allocated as HugePage, and reserved for PostgreSQL.

It should be equal or slightly larger than pg_shared_buffer_ratio, if not zero.

For example, if you have default 25% mem for postgres shard buffers, you can set this value to 0.27 ~ 0.30, Wasted hugepage can be reclaimed later with /pg/bin/pg-tune-hugepage

`node_overcommit_ratio`

node mem overcommit ratio, 0 disable it by default. this is an integer from 0 to 100+ .

default values: 0, which will set vm.overcommit_memory=0, otherwise vm.overcommit_memory=2 will be used, and this value will be used as vm.overcommit_ratio.

It is recommended to set use a vm.overcommit_ratio on dedicated pgsql nodes. e.g. 50 ~ 100.

default values: standalone

standalone: setup redis as standalone (master-slave) mode
cluster: setup this redis cluster as a redis native cluster
sentinel: setup redis as sentinel for standalone redis HA

`redis_conf`

redis config template path, except sentinel

default values: redis.conf, which is a template file in roles/redis/templates/redis.conf.

If you want to use your own redis config template, you can put it in templates/ directory and set this parameter to the template file name.

Note that redis sentinel are using a different template file, which is roles/redis/templates/redis-sentinel.conf

`redis_bind_address`

redis bind address, empty string will use inventory hostname

default values: 0.0.0.0, which will bind to all available IPv4 address on this host

PLEASE bind to intranet IP only in production environment, i.e. set this value to ''

`redis_max_memory`

max memory used by each redis instance, default values: 1GB

`redis_mem_policy`

redis memory eviction policy

default values: allkeys-lru, check redis eviction policy for more details

noeviction: New values aren’t saved when memory limit is reached. When a database uses replication, this applies to the primary database
allkeys-lru: Keeps most recently used keys; removes least recently used (LRU) keys
allkeys-lfu: Keeps frequently used keys; removes least frequently used (LFU) keys
volatile-lru: Removes least recently used keys with the expire field set to true.
volatile-lfu: Removes least frequently used keys with the expire field set to true.
allkeys-random: Randomly removes keys to make space for the new data added.
volatile-random: Randomly removes keys with expire field set to true.
volatile-ttl: Removes keys with expire field set to true and the shortest remaining time-to-live (TTL) value.

`redis_password`

redis password, empty string will disable password, which is the default behavior

Note that due to the implementation limitation of redis_exporter, you can only set one redis_password per node. This is usually not a problem, because pigsty does not allow deploying two different redis cluster on the same node.

PLEASE use a strong password in production environment

`redis_rdb_save`

redis rdb save directives, disable with empty list, check redis persist for details.

the default value is ["1200 1"]: dump the dataset to disk every 20 minutes if at least 1 key changed:

`redis_aof_enabled`

enable redis append only file? default value is false.

`redis_rename_commands`

rename redis dangerous commands, which is a dict of k:v old: new

default values: {}, you can hide dangerous commands like FLUSHDB and FLUSHALL by setting this value, here’s an example:

{
  "keys": "op_keys",
  "flushdb": "op_flushdb",
  "flushall": "op_flushall",
  "config": "op_config"  
}

`redis_cluster_replicas`

replica number for one master/primary in redis cluster, default values: 1

`redis_sentinel_monitor`

This can only be used when redis_mode is set to sentinel.

List of redis master to be monitored by this sentinel cluster. each master is defined as a dict with name, host, port, password, quorum keys.

redis_sentinel_monitor:  # primary list for redis sentinel, use cls as name, primary ip:port
  - { name: redis-src, host: 10.10.10.45, port: 6379 ,password: redis.src, quorum: 1 }
  - { name: redis-dst, host: 10.10.10.48, port: 6379 ,password: redis.dst, quorum: 1 }

The name and host are mandatory, port, password, quorum are optional, quorum is used to set the quorum for this master, usually large than half of the sentinel instances.

`PGSQL`

PGSQL module requires NODE module to be installed, and you also need a viable ETCD cluster to store cluster meta data.

Install PGSQL module on a single node will create a primary instance which a standalone PGSQL server/instance. Install it on additional nodes will create replicas, which can be used for serving read-only traffics, or use as standby backup. You can also create offline instance of ETL/OLAP/Interactive queries, use Sync Standby and Quorum Commit to increase data consistency, or even form a standby cluster and delayed standby cluster for disaster recovery.

You can define multiple PGSQL clusters and form a horizontal sharding cluster, which is a group of PGSQL clusters running on different nodes. Pigsty has native citus cluster group support, which can extend your PGSQL cluster to a distributed database sharding cluster.

`PG_ID`

Here are some common parameters used to identify PGSQL entities: instance, service, etc…

# pg_cluster:           #CLUSTER  # pgsql cluster name, required identity parameter
# pg_seq: 0             #INSTANCE # pgsql instance seq number, required identity parameter
# pg_role: replica      #INSTANCE # pgsql role, required, could be primary,replica,offline
# pg_instances: {}      #INSTANCE # define multiple pg instances on node in `{port:ins_vars}` format
# pg_upstream:          #INSTANCE # repl upstream ip addr for standby cluster or cascade replica
# pg_shard:             #CLUSTER  # pgsql shard name, optional identity for sharding clusters
# pg_group: 0           #CLUSTER  # pgsql shard index number, optional identity for sharding clusters
# gp_role: master       #CLUSTER  # greenplum role of this cluster, could be master or segment
pg_offline_query: false #INSTANCE # set to true to enable offline query on this instance

You have to assign these identity parameters explicitly, there’s no default value for them.

Name	Type	Level	Description
`pg_cluster`	`string`	C	PG database cluster name
`pg_seq`	`number`	I	PG database instance id
`pg_role`	`enum`	I	PG database instance role
`pg_shard`	`string`	C	PG database shard name of cluster
`pg_group`	`number`	C	PG database shard index of cluster

pg_cluster: It identifies the name of the cluster, which is configured at the cluster level.
pg_role: Configured at the instance level, identifies the role of the ins. Only the primary role will be handled specially. If not filled in, the default is the replica role and the special delayed and offline roles.
pg_seq: Used to identify the ins within the cluster, usually with an integer number incremented from 0 or 1, which is not changed once it is assigned.
{{ pg_cluster }}-{{ pg_seq }} is used to uniquely identify the ins, i.e. pg_instance.
{{ pg_cluster }}-{{ pg_role }} is used to identify the services within the cluster, i.e. pg_service.
pg_shard and pg_group are used for horizontally sharding clusters, for citus, greenplum, and matrixdb only.

pg_cluster, pg_role, pg_seq are core identity params, which are required for any Postgres cluster, and must be explicitly specified. Here’s an example:

pg-test:
  hosts:
    10.10.10.11: {pg_seq: 1, pg_role: replica}
    10.10.10.12: {pg_seq: 2, pg_role: primary}
    10.10.10.13: {pg_seq: 3, pg_role: replica}
  vars:
    pg_cluster: pg-test

All other params can be inherited from the global config or the default config, but the identity params must be explicitly specified and manually assigned.

`pg_mode`

pgsql cluster mode, pgsql by default, i.e. standard PostgreSQL cluster.

pgsql: Standard PostgreSQL cluster, default value.
citus: Horizontal sharding cluster with citus extension.
mssql: Babelfish MSSQL wire protocol compatible kernel.
ivory: IvorySQL Oracle compatible kernel.
polar: PolarDB for PostgreSQL kernel.
oracle: PolarDB for Oracle kernel.
gpsql: Greenplum / Cloudberry

If pg_mode is set to citus or gpsql, pg_shard and pg_group will be required for horizontal sharding clusters.

`pg_cluster`

pgsql cluster name, REQUIRED identity parameter

The cluster name will be used as the namespace for PGSQL related resources within that cluster.

The naming needs to follow the specific naming pattern: [a-z][a-z0-9-]* to be compatible with the requirements of different constraints on the identity.

`pg_seq`

pgsql instance seq number, REQUIRED identity parameter

A serial number of this instance, unique within its cluster, starting from 0 or 1.

`pg_role`

pgsql role, REQUIRED, could be primary,replica,offline

Roles for PGSQL instance, can be: primary, replica, standby or offline.

primary: Primary, there is one and only one primary in a cluster.
replica: Replica for carrying online read-only traffic, there may be a slight replication delay through (10ms~100ms, 100KB).
standby: Special replica that is always synced with primary, there’s no replication delay & data loss on this replica. (currently same as replica)
offline: Offline replica for taking on offline read-only traffic, such as statistical analysis/ETL/personal queries, etc.

Identity params, required params, and instance-level params.

`pg_instances`

define multiple pg instances on node in {port:ins_vars} format.

This parameter is reserved for multi-instance deployment on a single node which is not implemented in Pigsty yet.

`pg_upstream`

Upstream ip address for standby cluster or cascade replica

Setting pg_upstream is set on primary instance indicate that this cluster is a Standby Cluster, and will receiving changes from upstream instance, thus the primary is actually a standby leader.

Setting pg_upstream for a non-primary instance will explicitly set a replication upstream instance, if it is different from the primary ip addr, this instance will become a cascade replica. And it’s user’s responsibility to ensure that the upstream IP addr is another instance in the same cluster.

`pg_shard`

pgsql shard name, required identity parameter for sharding clusters (e.g. citus cluster), optional for common pgsql clusters.

When multiple pgsql clusters serve the same business together in a horizontally sharding style, Pigsty will mark this group of clusters as a Sharding Group.

pg_shard is the name of the shard group name. It’s usually the prefix of pg_cluster.

For example, if we have a sharding group pg-citus, and 4 clusters in it, there identity params will be:

cls pg_shard: pg-citus
cls pg_group = 0:   pg-citus0
cls pg_group = 1:   pg-citus1
cls pg_group = 2:   pg-citus2
cls pg_group = 3:   pg-citus3

`pg_group`

pgsql shard index number, required identity for sharding clusters, optional for common pgsql clusters.

Sharding cluster index of sharding group, used in pair with pg_shard. You can use any non-negative integer as the index number.

`gp_role`

greenplum/matrixdb role of this cluster, could be master or segment

master: mark the postgres cluster as greenplum master, which is the default value
segment mark the postgres cluster as greenplum segment

This parameter is only used for greenplum/matrixdb database, and is ignored for common pgsql cluster.

`pg_exporters`

additional pg_exporters to monitor remote postgres instances, default values: {}

If you wish to monitoring remote postgres instances, define them in pg_exporters and load them with pgsql-monitor.yml playbook.

pg_exporters: # list all remote instances here, alloc a unique unused local port as k
    20001: { pg_cluster: pg-foo, pg_seq: 1, pg_host: 10.10.10.10 }
    20004: { pg_cluster: pg-foo, pg_seq: 2, pg_host: 10.10.10.11 }
    20002: { pg_cluster: pg-bar, pg_seq: 1, pg_host: 10.10.10.12 }
    20003: { pg_cluster: pg-bar, pg_seq: 1, pg_host: 10.10.10.13 }

Check PGSQL Monitoring for details.

`pg_offline_query`

set to true to enable offline query on this instance

default value is false

When set to true, the user group dbrole_offline can connect to the ins and perform offline queries, regardless of the role of the current instance, just like a offline instance.

If you just have one replica or even one primary in your postgres cluster, adding this could mark it for accepting ETL, slow queries with interactive access.

pg_default_hba_rules is similar to this, but is used for global HBA rule settings

`pgb_hba_rules`

business hba rules for pgbouncer, default values: []

Similar to pg_hba_rules, array of hba rule object, except this is for pgbouncer.

`pg_replication_username`

WARNING: CHANGE THIS IN PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT!!!!

`pg_admin_username`

postgres admin username, dbuser_dba by default, which is a global postgres superuser.

default values: dbuser_dba

`pg_admin_password`

postgres admin password in plain text, DBUser.DBA by default

WARNING: CHANGE THIS IN PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT!!!!

`pg_monitor_username`

postgres monitor username, dbuser_monitor by default, which is a global monitoring user.

`pg_monitor_password`

postgres monitor password, DBUser.Monitor by default.

Try not using the @:/ character in the password to avoid problems with PGURL string.

WARNING: CHANGE THIS IN PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT!!!!

`pg_dbsu_password`

PostgreSQL dbsu password for pg_dbsu, empty string means no dbsu password, which is the default behavior.

WARNING: It’s not recommend to set a dbsu password for common PGSQL clusters, except for pg_mode = citus.

`PG_INSTALL`

This section is responsible for installing PostgreSQL & Extensions.

If you wish to install a different major version, just make sure repo packages exists and overwrite pg_version on cluster level.

To install extra extensions, overwrite pg_extensions on cluster level. Beware that not all extensions are available with other major versions.

pg_dbsu: postgres                 # os dbsu name, postgres by default, better not change it
pg_dbsu_uid: 26                   # os dbsu uid and gid, 26 for default postgres users and groups
pg_dbsu_sudo: limit               # dbsu sudo privilege, none,limit,all,nopass. limit by default
pg_dbsu_home: /var/lib/pgsql      # postgresql home directory, `/var/lib/pgsql` by default
pg_dbsu_ssh_exchange: true        # exchange postgres dbsu ssh key among same pgsql cluster
pg_version: 16                    # postgres major version to be installed, 16 by default
pg_bin_dir: /usr/pgsql/bin        # postgres binary dir, `/usr/pgsql/bin` by default
pg_log_dir: /pg/log/postgres      # postgres log dir, `/pg/log/postgres` by default
pg_packages:                      # pg packages to be installed, alias can be used
  - postgresql
  - patroni pgbouncer pgbackrest pg_exporter pgbadger vip-manager wal2json pg_repack
pg_extensions:                    # pg extensions to be installed, alias can be used
  - postgis timescaledb pgvector

`pg_dbsu`

os dbsu name, postgres by default, it’s not wise to change it.

When installing Greenplum / MatrixDB, set this parameter to the corresponding default value: gpadmin|mxadmin.

`pg_dbsu_uid`

os dbsu uid and gid, 26 for default postgres users and groups, which is consistent with the official pgdg RPM.

For Ubuntu/Debian, there’s no default postgres UID/GID, consider using another ad hoc value, such as 543 instead.

`pg_dbsu_sudo`

dbsu sudo privilege, coud be none, limit ,all ,nopass. limit by default

none: No Sudo privilege
limit: Limited sudo privilege to execute systemctl commands for database-related components, default.
all: Full sudo privilege, password required.
nopass: Full sudo privileges without a password (not recommended).

`pg_dbsu_home`

postgresql home directory, /var/lib/pgsql by default, which is consistent with the official pgdg RPM.

`pg_dbsu_ssh_exchange`

exchange postgres dbsu ssh key among same pgsql cluster?

default value is true, means the dbsu can ssh to each other among the same cluster.

`pg_version`

postgres major version to be installed, 15 by default

Note that PostgreSQL physical stream replication cannot cross major versions, so do not configure this on instance level.

You can use the parameters in pg_packages and pg_extensions to install rpms for the specific pg major version.

`pg_bin_dir`

postgres binary dir, /usr/pgsql/bin by default

The default value is a soft link created manually during the installation process, pointing to the specific Postgres version dir installed.

For example /usr/pgsql -> /usr/pgsql-15. For more details, check PGSQL File Structure for details.

`pg_log_dir`

postgres log dir, /pg/log/postgres by default.

caveat: if pg_log_dir is prefixed with pg_data it will not be created explicit (it will be created by postgres itself then).

`pg_packages`

PG packages to be installed (rpm/deb), this is an array of software package names, each element is a comma or space separated PG software package name.

The default value is the PostgreSQL kernel, as well as patroni, pgbouncer, pg_exporter, … and two important extension pg_repack and wal2json.

pg_packages:                      # pg packages to be installed, alias can be used
  - postgresql
  - patroni pgbouncer pgbackrest pg_exporter pgbadger vip-manager wal2json pg_repack

Starting from Pigsty v3, you can use package aliases specified by pg_package_map in roles/node_id/vars to perform an alias mapping.

The benefit of using package aliases is that you don’t have to worry about the package names, architectures, and major version of PostgreSQL-related packages on different OS platforms, thus sealing off the differences between different OSs.

You can also use the raw package name directly, the ${pg_version} or $v version placeholder in the package name will be replaced with the actual PG major version pg_version.

`pg_extensions`

PG extensions to be installed (rpm/deb), this is an array of software package names, each element is a comma or space separated PG extension package name.

This parameter is similar to pg_packages, but is usually used to specify the extension to be installed @ global | cluster level, and the software packages specified here will be upgraded to the latest available version.

The default value of this parameter is the three most important extension plugins in the PG extension ecosystem: postgis, timescaledb, pgvector.

`pg_safeguard`

prevent purging running postgres instance? false by default

If enabled, pgsql.yml & pgsql-rm.yml will abort immediately if any postgres instance is running.

`pg_clean`

purging existing postgres during pgsql init? true by default

default value is true, it will purge existing postgres instance during pgsql.yml init. which makes the playbook idempotent.

if set to false, pgsql.yml will abort if there’s already a running postgres instance. and pgsql-rm.yml will NOT remove postgres data (only stop the server).

`pg_data`

postgres data directory, /pg/data by default

default values: /pg/data, DO NOT CHANGE IT.

It’s a soft link that point to underlying data directory.

Check PGSQL File Structure for details.

`pg_fs_main`

mountpoint/path for postgres main data, /data by default

default values: /data, which will be used as parent dir of postgres main data directory: /data/postgres.

It’s recommended to use NVME SSD for postgres main data storage, Pigsty is optimized for SSD storage by default. But HDD is also supported, you can change pg_storage_type to HDD to optimize for HDD storage.

`pg_fs_bkup`

mountpoint/path for pg backup data, /data/backup by default

If you are using the default pgbackrest_method = local, it is recommended to have a separate disk for backup storage.

The backup disk should be large enough to hold all your backups, at least enough for 3 basebackups + 2 days WAL archive. This is usually not a problem since you can use cheap & large HDD for that.

It’s recommended to use a separate disk for backup storage, otherwise pigsty will fall back to the main data disk.

`pg_storage_type`

storage type for pg main data, SSD,HDD, SSD by default

default values: SSD, it will affect some tuning parameters, such as random_page_cost & effective_io_concurrency

`pg_dummy_filesize`

size of /pg/dummy, default values: 64MiB, which hold 64MB disk space for emergency use

When the disk is full, removing the placeholder file can free up some space for emergency use, it is recommended to use at least 8GiB for production use.

`pg_listen`

postgres/pgbouncer listen address, 0.0.0.0 (all ipv4 addr) by default

You can use placeholder in this variable:

${ip}: translate to inventory_hostname, which is primary private IP address in the inventory
${vip}: if pg_vip_enabled, this will translate to host part of pg_vip_address
${lo}: will translate to 127.0.0.1

For example: '${ip},${lo}' or '${ip},${vip},${lo}'.

`pg_port`

postgres listen port, 5432 by default.

`pg_localhost`

postgres unix socket dir for localhost connection, default values: /var/run/postgresql

The Unix socket dir for PostgreSQL and Pgbouncer local connection, which is used by pg_exporter and patroni.

`pg_namespace`

top level key namespace in etcd, used by patroni & vip, default values is: /pg , and it’s not recommended to change it.

`patroni_enabled`

if disabled, no postgres cluster will be created during init

default value is true, If disabled, Pigsty will skip pulling up patroni (thus postgres).

This option is useful when trying to add some components to an existing postgres instance.

`patroni_mode`

patroni working mode: default, pause, remove

default values: default

default: Bootstrap PostgreSQL cluster with Patroni
pause: Just like default, but entering maintenance mode after bootstrap
remove: Init the cluster with Patroni, them remove Patroni and use raw PostgreSQL instead.

`patroni_port`

patroni listen port, 8008 by default, changing it is not recommended.

The Patroni API server listens on this port for health checking & API requests.

`patroni_log_dir`

patroni log dir, /pg/log/patroni by default, which will be collected by promtail.

`patroni_ssl_enabled`

Secure patroni RestAPI communications with SSL? default value is false

This parameter is a global flag that can only be set before deployment.

Since if SSL is enabled for patroni, you’ll have to perform healthcheck, metrics scrape and API call with HTTPS instead of HTTP.

`patroni_watchdog_mode`

In case of primary failure, patroni can use watchdog to fencing the old primary node to avoid split-brain.

patroni watchdog mode: automatic, required, off:

off: not using watchdog. avoid fencing at all. This is the default value.
automatic: Enable watchdog if the kernel has softdog module enabled and watchdog is owned by dbsu
required: Force watchdog, refuse to start if softdog is not available

default value is off, you should not enable watchdog on infra nodes to avoid fencing.

For those critical systems where data consistency prevails over availability, it is recommended to enable watchdog.

Beware that if all your traffic is accessed via haproxy, there is no risk of brain split at all.

`patroni_username`

patroni restapi username, postgres by default, used in pair with patroni_password

Patroni unsafe RESTAPI is protected by username/password by default, check Config Cluster and Patroni RESTAPI for details.

`patroni_password`

patroni restapi password, Patroni.API by default

WARNING: CHANGE THIS IN PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT!!!!

`pg_primary_db`

primary database name, used by citus,etc… , postgres by default

Patroni 3.0’s native citus will specify a managed database for citus. which is created by patroni itself.

`pg_parameters`

Parameter Name: pg_parameters, Type: dict, Level: G/C/I

This parameter is used to specify and manage configuration parameters in postgresql.auto.conf.

After all instances in the cluster have completed initialization, the pg_param task will sequentially overwrite the key/value pairs in this dictionary to /pg/data/postgresql.auto.conf.

Note: Please do not manually modify this configuration file, or use ALTER SYSTEM to change cluster configuration parameters. Any changes will be overwritten during the next configuration sync.

This variable has a higher priority than the cluster configuration in Patroni/DCS (i.e., it has a higher priority than the cluster configuration edited by Patroni edit-config). Therefore, it can typically override the cluster default parameters at the instance level.

When your cluster members have different specifications (not recommended!), you can fine-tune the configuration of each instance using this parameter.

pg-test:
  hosts:
    10.10.10.11: { pg_seq: 1, pg_role: primary , pg_parameters: { shared_buffers: '5GB' } }
    10.10.10.12: { pg_seq: 2, pg_role: replica , pg_parameters: { shared_buffers: '4GB' } }
    10.10.10.13: { pg_seq: 3, pg_role: replica , pg_parameters: { shared_buffers: '3GB' } }

Please note that some important cluster parameters (which have requirements for primary and replica parameter values) are managed directly by Patroni through command-line parameters and have the highest priority. These cannot be overridden by this method. For these parameters, you must use Patroni edit-config for management and configuration.

PostgreSQL parameters that must remain consistent across primary and replicas (inconsistency will prevent the replica from starting!):

wal_level
max_connections
max_locks_per_transaction
max_worker_processes
max_prepared_transactions
track_commit_timestamp

Parameters that should ideally remain consistent across primary and replicas (considering the possibility of primary-replica switch):

listen_addresses
port
cluster_name
hot_standby
wal_log_hints
max_wal_senders
max_replication_slots
wal_keep_segments
wal_keep_size

You can set non-existent parameters (such as GUCs from extensions), but changing existing configurations to illegal values may prevent PostgreSQL from starting. Please configure with caution!

`pg_files`

Parameter Name: pg_files, Type: path[], Level: C

Designates a list of files to be copied to the {{ pg_data }} directory. The default value is an empty array: [].

Files specified in this parameter will be copied to the {{ pg_data }} directory. This is mainly used to distribute license files required by special commercial versions of the PostgreSQL kernel.

Currently, only the PolarDB (Oracle-compatible) kernel requires a license file. For example, you can place the license.lic file in the files/ directory and specify it in pg_files:

pg_files: [ license.lic ]

`pg_conf`

config template: {oltp,olap,crit,tiny}.yml, oltp.yml by default

tiny.yml: optimize for tiny nodes, virtual machines, small demo, (1~8Core, 1~16GB)
oltp.yml: optimize for OLTP workloads and latency sensitive applications, (4C8GB+), which is the default template
olap.yml: optimize for OLAP workloads and throughput (4C8G+)
crit.yml: optimize for data consistency and critical applications (4C8G+)

default values: oltp.yml, but configure procedure will set this value to tiny.yml if current node is a tiny node.

You can have your own template, just put it under templates/<mode>.yml and set this value to the template name.

`pg_max_conn`

postgres max connections, You can specify a value between 50 and 5000, or use auto to use recommended value.

default value is auto, which will set max connections according to the pg_conf and pg_default_service_dest.

tiny: 100
olap: 200
oltp: 200 (pgbouncer) / 1000 (postgres)
- pg_default_service_dest = pgbouncer : 200
- pg_default_service_dest = postgres : 1000
crit: 200 (pgbouncer) / 1000 (postgres)
- pg_default_service_dest = pgbouncer : 200
- pg_default_service_dest = postgres : 1000

It’s not recommended to set this value greater than 5000, otherwise you have to increase the haproxy service connection limit manually as well.

Pgbouncer’s transaction pooling can alleviate the problem of too many OLTP connections, but it’s not recommended to use it in OLAP scenarios.

`pg_shared_buffer_ratio`

postgres shared buffer memory ratio, 0.25 by default, 0.1~0.4

default values: 0.25, means 25% of node memory will be used as PostgreSQL shard buffers.

Setting this value greater than 0.4 (40%) is usually not a good idea.

Note that shared buffer is only part of shared memory in PostgreSQL, to calculate the total shared memory, use show shared_memory_size_in_huge_pages;.

`pg_rto`

recovery time objective in seconds, This will be used as Patroni TTL value, 30s by default.

If a primary instance is missing for such a long time, a new leader election will be triggered.

Decrease the value can reduce the unavailable time (unable to write) of the cluster during failover, but it will make the cluster more sensitive to network jitter, thus increase the chance of false-positive failover.

Config this according to your network condition and expectation to trade-off between chance and impact, the default value is 30s, and it will be populated to the following patroni parameters:

# the TTL to acquire the leader lock (in seconds). Think of it as the length of time before initiation of the automatic failover process. Default value: 30
ttl: {{ pg_rto }}

# the number of seconds the loop will sleep. Default value: 10 , this is patroni check loop interval
loop_wait: {{ (pg_rto / 3)|round(0, 'ceil')|int }}

# timeout for DCS and PostgreSQL operation retries (in seconds). DCS or network issues shorter than this will not cause Patroni to demote the leader. Default value: 10
retry_timeout: {{ (pg_rto / 3)|round(0, 'ceil')|int }}

# the amount of time a primary is allowed to recover from failures before failover is triggered (in seconds), Max RTO: 2 loop wait + primary_start_timeout
primary_start_timeout: {{ (pg_rto / 3)|round(0, 'ceil')|int }}

`pg_rpo`

recovery point objective in bytes, 1MiB at most by default

default values: 1048576, which will tolerate at most 1MiB data loss during failover.

when the primary is down and all replicas are lagged, you have to make a tough choice to trade off between Availability and Consistency:

Promote a replica to be the new primary and bring system back online ASAP, with the price of an acceptable data loss (e.g. less than 1MB).
Wait for the primary to come back (which may never be) or human intervention to avoid any data loss.

You can use crit.yml conf template to ensure no data loss during failover, but it will sacrifice some performance.

`pg_libs`

shared preloaded libraries, pg_stat_statements,auto_explain by default.

They are two extensions that come with PostgreSQL, and it is strongly recommended to enable them.

For existing clusters, you can configure the shared_preload_libraries parameter of the cluster and apply it.

If you want to use TimescaleDB or Citus extensions, you need to add timescaledb or citus to this list. timescaledb and citus should be placed at the top of this list, for example:

citus,timescaledb,pg_stat_statements,auto_explain

Other extensions that need to be loaded can also be added to this list, such as pg_cron, pgml, etc.

Generally, citus and timescaledb have the highest priority and should be added to the top of the list.

`pg_delay`

replication apply delay for standby cluster leader , default values: 0.

if this value is set to a positive value, the standby cluster leader will be delayed for this time before apply WAL changes.

Check delayed standby cluster for details.

`pg_checksum`

enable data checksum for postgres cluster?, default value is false.

This parameter can only be set before PGSQL deployment. (but you can enable it manually later)

If pg_conf crit.yml template is used, data checksum is always enabled regardless of this parameter to ensure data integrity.

`pg_pwd_enc`

passwords encryption algorithm: md5,scram-sha-256

default values: scram-sha-256, if you have compatibility issues with old clients, you can set it to md5 instead.

`pg_encoding`

database cluster encoding, UTF8 by default

`pg_locale`

database cluster local, C by default

`pg_lc_collate`

database cluster collate, C by default, It’s not recommended to change this value unless you know what you are doing.

`pg_lc_ctype`

database character type, en_US.UTF8 by default

`pgbouncer_enabled`

default value is true, if disabled, pgbouncer will not be launched on pgsql host

`pgbouncer_port`

pgbouncer listen port, 6432 by default

`pgbouncer_log_dir`

pgbouncer log dir, /pg/log/pgbouncer by default, referenced by promtail the logging agent.

`pgbouncer_auth_query`

query postgres to retrieve unlisted business users? default value is false

If enabled, pgbouncer user will be authenticated against postgres database with SELECT username, password FROM monitor.pgbouncer_auth($1), otherwise, only the users with pgbouncer: true will be allowed to connect to pgbouncer.

`pgbouncer_poolmode`

Pgbouncer pooling mode: transaction, session, statement, transaction by default

session: Session-level pooling with the best compatibility.
transaction: Transaction-level pooling with better performance (lots of small conns), could break some session level features such as notify/listen, etc…
statements: Statement-level pooling which is used for simple read-only queries.

If you application has some compatibility issues with pgbouncer, you can try to change this value to session instead.

`pgbouncer_sslmode`

pgbouncer client ssl mode, disable by default

default values: disable, beware that this may have a huge performance impact on your pgbouncer.

disable: Plain TCP. If client requests TLS, it’s ignored. Default.
allow: If client requests TLS, it is used. If not, plain TCP is used. If the client presents a client certificate, it is not validated.
prefer: Same as allow.
require: Client must use TLS. If not, the client connection is rejected. If the client presents a client certificate, it is not validated.
verify-ca: Client must use TLS with valid client certificate.
verify-full: Same as verify-ca.

`PG_PROVISION`

PG_BOOTSTRAP will bootstrap a new postgres cluster with patroni, while PG_PROVISION will create default objects in the cluster, including:

Default Roles
Default Users
Default Privileges
Default HBA Rules
Default Schemas

pgBackRest log dir, /pg/log/pgbackrest by default, which is referenced by promtail the logging agent.

`pgbackrest_method`

pgBackRest repo method: local, minio, or other user-defined methods, local by default

This parameter is used to determine which repo to use for pgBackRest, all available repo methods are defined in pgbackrest_repo.

Pigsty will use local backup repo by default, which will create a backup repo on primary instance’s /pg/backup directory. The underlying storage is specified by pg_fs_bkup.

`pgbackrest_repo`

pgBackRest repo document: https://pgbackrest.org/configuration.html#section-repository

default value includes two repo methods: local and minio, which are defined as follows:

`PG_SERVICE`

This section is about exposing PostgreSQL service to outside world: including:

Exposing different PostgreSQL services on different ports with haproxy
Bind an optional L2 VIP to the primary instance with vip-manager
Register cluster/instance DNS records with to dnsmasq on infra nodes

pg_weight: 100          #INSTANCE # relative load balance weight in service, 100 by default, 0-255
pg_default_service_dest: pgbouncer # default service destination if svc.dest='default'
pg_default_services:              # postgres default service definitions
  - { name: primary ,port: 5433 ,dest: default  ,check: /primary   ,selector: "[]" }
  - { name: replica ,port: 5434 ,dest: default  ,check: /read-only ,selector: "[]" , backup: "[? pg_role == `primary` || pg_role == `offline` ]" }
  - { name: default ,port: 5436 ,dest: postgres ,check: /primary   ,selector: "[]" }
  - { name: offline ,port: 5438 ,dest: postgres ,check: /replica   ,selector: "[? pg_role == `offline` || pg_offline_query ]" , backup: "[? pg_role == `replica` && !pg_offline_query]"}
pg_vip_enabled: false             # enable a l2 vip for pgsql primary? false by default
pg_vip_address: 127.0.0.1/24      # vip address in `<ipv4>/<mask>` format, require if vip is enabled
pg_vip_interface: eth0            # vip network interface to listen, eth0 by default
pg_dns_suffix: ''                 # pgsql dns suffix, '' by default
pg_dns_target: auto               # auto, primary, vip, none, or ad hoc ip

`pg_weight`

relative load balance weight in service, 100 by default, 0-255

default values: 100. you have to define it at instance vars, and reload-service to take effect.

`pg_service_provider`

dedicate haproxy node group name, or empty string for local nodes by default.

If specified, PostgreSQL Services will be registered to the dedicated haproxy node group instead of this pgsql cluster nodes.

Do remember to allocate unique ports on dedicate haproxy nodes for each service!

For example, if we define following parameters on 3-node pg-test cluster:

pg_service_provider: infra       # use load balancer on group `infra`
pg_default_services:             # alloc port 10001 and 10002 for pg-test primary/replica service  
  - { name: primary ,port: 10001 ,dest: postgres  ,check: /primary   ,selector: "[]" }
  - { name: replica ,port: 10002 ,dest: postgres  ,check: /read-only ,selector: "[]" , backup: "[? pg_role == `primary` || pg_role == `offline` ]" }

`pg_default_service_dest`

When defining a service, if svc.dest=‘default’, this parameter will be used as the default value.

default values: pgbouncer, means 5433 primary service and 5434 replica service will route traffic to pgbouncer by default.

If you don’t want to use pgbouncer, set it to postgres instead. traffic will be route to postgres directly.

`pg_default_services`

postgres default service definitions

default value is four default services definition, which is explained in PGSQL Service

pg_default_services:               # postgres default service definitions
  - { name: primary ,port: 5433 ,dest: default  ,check: /primary   ,selector: "[]" }
  - { name: replica ,port: 5434 ,dest: default  ,check: /read-only ,selector: "[]" , backup: "[? pg_role == `primary` || pg_role == `offline` ]" }
  - { name: default ,port: 5436 ,dest: postgres ,check: /primary   ,selector: "[]" }
  - { name: offline ,port: 5438 ,dest: postgres ,check: /replica   ,selector: "[? pg_role == `offline` || pg_offline_query ]" , backup: "[? pg_role == `replica` && !pg_offline_query]"}

`pg_vip_enabled`

enable a l2 vip for pgsql primary?

default value is false, means no L2 VIP is created for this cluster.

L2 VIP can only be used in same L2 network, which may incurs extra restrictions on your network topology.

`pg_vip_address`

vip address in <ipv4>/<mask> format, if vip is enabled, this parameter is required.

default values: 127.0.0.1/24. This value is consist of two parts: ipv4 and mask, separated by /.

`pg_vip_interface`

vip network interface to listen, eth0 by default.

It should be the same primary intranet interface of your node, which is the IP address you used in the inventory file.

If your node have different interface, you can override it on instance vars:

pg-test:
    hosts:
        10.10.10.11: {pg_seq: 1, pg_role: replica ,pg_vip_interface: eth0 }
        10.10.10.12: {pg_seq: 2, pg_role: primary ,pg_vip_interface: eth1 }
        10.10.10.13: {pg_seq: 3, pg_role: replica ,pg_vip_interface: eth2 }
    vars:
        pg_vip_enabled: true          # enable L2 VIP for this cluster, bind to primary instance by default
        pg_vip_address: 10.10.10.3/24 # the L2 network CIDR: 10.10.10.0/24, the vip address: 10.10.10.3
        # pg_vip_interface: eth1      # if your node have non-uniform interface, you can define it here

`pg_dns_suffix`

pgsql dns suffix, ’’ by default, cluster DNS name is defined as {{ pg_cluster }}{{ pg_dns_suffix }}

For example, if you set pg_dns_suffix to .db.vip.company.tld for cluster pg-test, then the cluster DNS name will be pg-test.db.vip.company.tld

`pg_dns_target`

Could be: auto, primary, vip, none, or an ad hoc ip address, which will be the target IP address of cluster DNS record.

default values: auto , which will bind to pg_vip_address if pg_vip_enabled, or fallback to cluster primary instance ip address.

vip: bind to pg_vip_address
primary: resolve to cluster primary instance ip address
auto: resolve to pg_vip_address if pg_vip_enabled, or fallback to cluster primary instance ip address.
none: do not bind to any ip address
<ipv4>: bind to the given IP address

pg_exporter_connect_timeout: 200       # pg_exporter connect timeout in ms, 200 by default
pg_exporter_options: ''                # overwrite extra options for pg_exporter
pgbouncer_exporter_enabled: true       # enable pgbouncer_exporter on pgsql hosts?
pgbouncer_exporter_port: 9631          # pgbouncer_exporter listen port, 9631 by default
pgbouncer_exporter_url: ''             # overwrite auto-generate pgbouncer dsn if specified

`pg_exporter_cache_ttls`

pg_exporter collector ttl stage in seconds, ‘1,10,60,300’ by default

default values: 1,10,60,300, which will use 1s, 10s, 60s, 300s for different metric collectors.

ttl_fast: "{{ pg_exporter_cache_ttls.split(',')[0]|int }}"         # critical queries
ttl_norm: "{{ pg_exporter_cache_ttls.split(',')[1]|int }}"         # common queries
ttl_slow: "{{ pg_exporter_cache_ttls.split(',')[2]|int }}"         # slow queries (e.g table size)
ttl_slowest: "{{ pg_exporter_cache_ttls.split(',')[3]|int }}"      # ver slow queries (e.g bloat)

`pg_exporter_port`

pg_exporter listen port, 9630 by default

`pg_exporter_params`
