[pgpool-general: 6458] Re: Load balancing and unused status

[Pierre Timmermans]

For some reason the status is unused, it should be up or down.
I think you should stop pgpool, remove the file /tmp/pgpool_status, then restart pgpool. The file /tmp/pgpool_status is used by pgpool to record the status of the node. When the file is not there it will create it at startup

 Hi,
I'm new to pgpool, and I'm trying to use the load balancer. I have a primary and a hot standby, using native streaming replication.
Versions: postgresql - 11.2pgpool - 4.0.2
Here's what I changed in pgpool.conf:
listen_addresses = '*'port = 5432
backend_hostname0 = '192.168.51.186'backend_port0 = 5433backend_weight0 = 0.4backend_data_directory0 = '/var/lib/postgresql/11/main'backend_flag0 = 'ALWAYS_MASTER'
backend_hostname1 = '192.168.51.185'backend_port1 = 5433backend_weight1 = 0.6backend_data_directory1 = '/var/lib/postgresql/11/main'
load_balance_mode = on
master_slave_mode = onmaster_slave_sub_mode = 'stream'
However, when I inspect the nodes on pgpool, I get the following:
postgres=# show pool_nodes; node_id |    hostname    | port | status | lb_weight |  role   | select_cnt | load_balance_node | replication_delay | last_status_change  ---------+----------------+------+--------+-----------+---------+------------+-------------------+-------------------+--------------------- 0       | 192.168.51.186 | 5433 | up     | 0.400000  | primary | 6113       | true              | 0                 | 2019-03-14 11:39:15 1       | 192.168.51.185 | 5433 | unused | 0.600000  | standby | 0          | false             | 0                 | 2019-03-14 11:39:15
All queries are being redirected to primary. I can query the standby directly, so everything seems fine with my replication setup.
Why it says the standby is unused? I'm missing something in the configuration?
Thanks,
Fernando_______________________________________________
