Re: repmgr auto-failover not happening.

There no error message. 

That's why it so difficult for me to troubleshoot. 

I was wondering if repmgr v is still supported on postgres 15.

Yes, repmgrd daemon is running on both nodes but still auto-failover is not happening.

Hi,

Check if repmgrd process is running on both primary and secondary

You can set the log file parameter for repmgrd in repmgr.conf on both primary and secondary 

to check if it is running fine

Thanks,

Hello gurus,

I'm running Postgres 15 with repmgr 5. 

I set up repmgr, tested switchover and manual failover successfully but automatic failover is not working. I wish to know if I'm missing out something. See the repmgr.conf file below and advise please.
