Monitoring the EFM Cluster Innovation Release

To monitor an EDB Failover Manager, deploy one EDB Postgres AI agent per efm node (excluding the witness node). EDB Postgres AI agent leverages the efm cli and run the efm cluster-status-json <cluster_name> command to collect the monitoring info of the failover manager.

Configuring clusters and nodes with manager type as efm

• Set manager type as efm

• Use the cluster_name field to specify the name of the Failover Manager cluster. The cluster name is the prefix of the name of the cluster properties file. For example, if your cluster properties file is named efm.properties, your cluster name is efm.

# efm node1 beacon agent config
...
clusters:
  - resource_id: selfmanaged_efm_cluster_id
    name: "<pg_cluster_name1>"
    manager: "efm"
    efm:
      cluster_name: "<efm_cluster_name>"
    nodes:
      - resource_id: <efm_node_resource_id_1>
        dsn: "$DSN1.1"
        ...

Since we need to deploy one EDB Postgres AI agent per efm node, the nodes list will contain only one entry.

# efm node2 beacon agent config
...
clusters:
  - resource_id: selfmanaged_efm_cluster_id
    name: "<pg_cluster_name1>"
    manager: "efm"
    efm:
      cluster_name: "<efm_cluster_name>"
    nodes:
      - resource_id: <efm_node_resource_id_2>
        dsn: "$DSN1.2"
        ...
