The above is one master and two standby servers connected via streaming
replication, correct?

Is there WAL archiving set up?

Correct.  Master election occurs through Patroni.  WAL level is set to:

wal_level = 'replica'

So no archiving.

So you have not been able to run the cluster the past 2-3 weeks or is
that  more recent?

Haven't been able to bring this PostgresSQL cluster up ( run the cluster ) since 2-3 weeks ago.  Tried quite a few combinations of options to recover this.  No luck.  Had storage failures earlier, even with corrupted OS files, but this PostgreSQL cluster w/ Patroni was able to come up each time without any recovery effort on my part.  
 

When you refer to history files below are you talking about WAL files or
something else?

Is this:

"recovery command file "recovery.conf" specified neither
primary_conninfo nor restore_command"

true?

True. recovery.conf is controlled by Patroni.  Contents of this file remained the same for all the cluster nodes with the exception of the primary_slot_name:

[root@psql01 postgresql-patroni-etcd]# cat recovery.conf
primary_slot_name = 'postgresql0'
standby_mode = 'on'
recovery_target_timeline = 'latest'
[root@psql01 postgresql-patroni-etcd]#

[root@psql02 postgres-backup]# cat recovery.conf
primary_slot_name = 'postgresql1'
standby_mode = 'on'
recovery_target_timeline = 'latest'
[root@psql02 postgres-backup]#

[root@psql03 postgresql-patroni-backup]# cat recovery.conf
primary_slot_name = 'postgresql2'
standby_mode = 'on'
recovery_target_timeline = 'latest'
[root@psql03 postgresql-patroni-backup]#

I've made a copy of the root postgres directory over to another location so when troubleshooting, I can always revert to the first state the cluster was in when it failed.  

Thx,
TK
