[pgpool-general: 6628] failover configuration problem

[Andrew Kerber]

I have a fairly (I thought) straightforward pgpool setup, the backend is
postrgresql database that is streaming to a hot standby. I am testing the
failover, but when I shutdown the primary database instance and open the
standby database instance for read/write, i get this message. "health check
failed on node 0 but failover is disallowed for the node". What setting am
I missing here?


Applicable section from the log:

Jul 5 10:45:14 pgpool1 pgpool-II-10[32640]: [13-1] 2019-07-05 10:45:14: pid
32640: ERROR: failed to make persistent db connection Jul 5 10:45:14
pgpool1 pgpool-II-10[32640]: [13-2] 2019-07-05 10:45:14: pid 32640: DETAIL:

Here are the applicable sections from my pgpool.conf
- Backend Connection Settings -

backend_hostname0 = '10.12.1.225'
backend_port0 = 5432
backend_weight0 = 1
backend_data_directory0 = '/postgres/data/pgdata'
backend_flag0 = 'ALLOW_TO_FAILOVER'

backend_hostname1 = '10.12.1.61'
backend_port1 = 5432
backend_weight1 = 1
backend_data_directory1 = '/postgres/data/pgdata'
backend_flag1 = 'ALLOW_TO_FAILOVER'

master_slave_mode = on
master_slave_sub_mode = 'stream'
health_check_period = 10
health_check_timeout = 5
health_check_user = 'nobody'
health_check_password = ''
health_check_max_retries = 0
health_check_retry_delay = 1
connect_timeout = 10000
failover_command = ''
failback_command = ''
