postgres operational
Steve Clark <steve.clark@netwolves.com> — 2019-01-09T17:58:44Z
Hi List, Is there a sure fire way to tell if postgres server is up an operational. I was testing to see if the socket at /tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432 existed - but I ran into a recent problem on CentOS 7.5, postgresql 9.2.24, where the socket was there but my script couldn't read from my database yet. Thanks, Steve --

The best way I came up with for older versions is: If timeout -s 9 10 psql -d DBNAME -c "select 1" >/dev/null ; then .... And on newer versions, use the pg_isready command.

Depends on what you are expecting. `check_postgres` has many different checks, one which will actually try to connect and run `SELECT 1` to make sure postgres can actually run a query. pg_ctl status might return ok, yet you can't connect for other reasons. -- Martín Marqués http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services
