SYNOPSIS

12       This command  starts  a  Postgres  switchover  orchestration  from  the
13       pg_auto_switchover monitor:
14
15          usage: pg_autoctl perform switchover  [ --pgdata --formation --group ]
16
17          --pgdata      path to data directory
18          --formation   formation to target, defaults to 'default'
19          --group       group to target, defaults to 0

DESCRIPTION

22       The  pg_auto_switchover  monitor  can  be  used to orchestrate a manual
23       switchover, sometimes also  known  as  a  switchover.  When  doing  so,
24       split-brain  are  prevented thanks to intermediary states being used in
25       the Finite State Machine.
26
27       The pg_autoctl perform switchover command waits until the switchover is
28       known  complete on the monitor, or until the hard-coded 60s timeout has
29       passed.
30
31       The switchover orchestration is done in the background by the  monitor,
32       so  even if the pg_autoctl perform switchover stops on the timeout, the
33       switchover orchestration continues at the monitor.
34
35       See also pg_autoctl_perform_failover, a synonym for this command.

OPTIONS

38       --pgdata
39              Location of the Postgres node being managed locally. Defaults to
40              the  environment  variable PGDATA. Use --monitor to connect to a
41              monitor from anywhere, rather than the monitor URI used by a lo‐
42              cal Postgres node managed with pg_autoctl.
43
44       --formation
45              Formation to target for the operation. Defaults to default.
46
47       --group
48              Postgres  group to target for the operation. Defaults to 0, only
49              Citus formations may have more than one group.
