WHAT’S NEW
This update is notifying you of a new software release of EDB Postgres Failover Manager (EFM) version 3.10. Failover Manager provides high availability by monitoring the members of a Postgres cluster, identifying and verifying database failures quickly, and can automatically promote a standby node and issues alerts.
Highlights of this release include:
|
Features |
Benefits |
|
Physical replication slot support for PostgreSQL 12 and EDB Postgres Advanced Server 12. EFM will create and advance slots on standby instances. |
Customers can use physical (streaming) replication slots for high availability. EFM will automatically configure replication slots on standby. |
|
Network Address Translation (NAT) support - enables EFM agents to communicate through public IP addresses. |
Allows use of EFM with public IP addresses in multi region or multi data center deployments (separate OpenStack installations) where private IP addresses have no direct connectivity. |
|
Replace trigger file with pg_ctl; which is a very straightforward way to promote the standby to master. |
Simplifies configuration and improves resiliency. |
|
New command to check the local efm status: efm node-status-json <cluster> |
Enables customers to get local EFM agent health status without the overhead of creating new database connections. |
This release includes fixes for the following issues:
-
Support for NAT addresses (945799)
