Asunto: [pgpool-general: 3155] pgpool-II not load balancing

 

Hi everyone,

 

I have hell of a headache configuring pgpool, i hope you can help me.

 

Let me add a little bit of context:

2 DB servers(DB1 and DB2) and 2 web tomcat servers (WEB1 and WEB2)

DB1 is master and DB2 is slave with replication.

Replication is working fine.

WEB1 and WEB2 both have pgpool installed and each tomcat connects to its own
local pgpool. 
pgpool is configured with the two backends, WD, load balance and
master-slave in stream mode.

 

Ok, now the problem:

While testing pgpool configuration, I launched some easy queries(select 1)
to WEB1's pgpool in order to test the load balancing.

Pgpool shows the following log

 

2014-09-09 03:47:00 LOG:   pid 22005: connection received: host=[local]

2014-09-09 03:47:27 LOG:   pid 22012: DB node id: 1 backend pid: 35196
statement: select 1

 

Everything seems to be working, some queries goes to DB1 and others to DB2,
but in postgres log I see the following:

Which means that pgpool is not load balancing, is sending all queries to all
DB servers. I have tested many configurations but there is something I am
missing and I cannot find it. Can anyone help me?

 

Thank you very much!
