Summary0000777: PgPool unable to connect to Aurora Postgresql
DescriptionHi,
I've 1 write and 1 read instance of Aurora Postgresql, I'm sure both instances are up and running. However, the pgpool started successfully but my application can't connect to it. Here is the log and I noticed that pgpool failed to find the primary node. I've enclosed my pgpool.conf

You need to set:
backend_clustering_mode = 'streaming_replication'
Instead of:
backend_clustering_mode = 'raw'

Also you need to set:
backend_flag0 = 'ALWAYS_PRIMARY|DISALLOW_TO_FAILOVER'
instead of:
backend_flag0 = 'ALWAYS_MASTER|DISALLOW_TO_FAILOVER'

Actually the manual was incorrect. Sorry. I am going to fix this.

Hi,
Thanks for your prompt reply, but I changed according to what you recommended but the log still got
find_primary_node_repeatedly: all of the backends are down. Giving up finding primary node.

Ridiculous...
backend_flag0 = 'ALWAYS_PRIMARY|DISALLOW_TO_FAILOVER'
should avoid to the backend check inside ind_primary_node_repeatedly.
Can you add debug log to pgpool.conf, restart pgpool and share the pgpool log? i,e,
log_min_messages = debug1

Another possibility is that pgpool_status file (it's located under 'logdir' directory) remembers the backend status as all down.
If you find "down" in pgpool_status, that's the case. In this case you can just remove pgpool_status and restart pgpool. The file will be automatically recreated.

Hi,
My pgpool able to connect to RDS after reboot, now everything is working. The error was probably caused by my machine network setup. Anyway, thanks for the guidance and pointing out my mistake.
