Pgpool-II:
pgpool-II is a middleware that works between PostgreSQL servers and a PostgreSQL database client.
http://pgpool.projects.postgresql.org/
it can used for Connection Pooling,Replication,Load Balance,Limiting Exceeding Connections and Parallel Query
that Heartbeat is a daemon that provides cluster infrastructure (communication and membership) services to its clients.

May be I have to do more testing :)

Postgresql Warm Standby Testing

2009/12/03 11:24 | by askwan ]
OS: Debian5.0 lenny x86_64
Postgresql:8.3.8
Master :192.168.0.121
Warm Standby:192.168.0.122

1. install postgresql on both master and warm standby server.
2. Config passwordless ssh authentication use user postgres
Please refer to http://www.petefreitag.com/item/532.cfm
3. Install pg_standby on both both master and warm standby server.
#cd /usr/local/src/postgresql-8.3.8/contrib/pg_standby
#make
#make install
4. Config postgresql
In master server :
in warm standby server :
start master server :
5. Dump all production data to master server .
You can check the warm standby server ‘s /wal_archives directory , whether there is archive logs from master server located on .
6. Login to master server as postgres user.
Create a script to do a base backup:
7. Login to warm standby server as postgresql user.
Create a script to do some clean and configuration
Note:PostgreSQL 8.4 provides the recovery_end_command option.so,in recovery.conf add recovery_end_command=’rm –f /tmp/pgsql.trigger ’
pg_standby supports creation of a "warm standby" database server. It is designed to be a production-ready program, as well as a customizable template should you require specific modifications.
More about pg_standby,refer to http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/pgstandby.html
http://www.enterprisedb.com/docs/en/8.4/pg/pgstandby.html
8. Start warm standby server
9. check warm standby postgresql logfile:
Check standby logfile:
10. failover
In warm standby server
touch /tmp/ pgsql.trigger
Postgresql:8.3.8
Master :192.168.0.121
Warm Standby:192.168.0.122
1. install postgresql on both master and warm standby server.
#cd /usr/local/src/postgresql-8.3.8/

4. Config postgresql
In master server :

in warm standby server :
#mkdir /wal_archives
#chown postgres /wal_archives/
#chown postgres /wal_archives/
start master server :
pg_ctl -D /usr/local/pgsql/data/ start -l /usr/local/pgsql/data/logfile
5. Dump all production data to master server .
You can check the warm standby server ‘s /wal_archives directory , whether there is archive logs from master server located on .
6. Login to master server as postgres user.
Create a script to do a base backup:
Quotation

psql -c "CHECKPOINT;"
psql -c "SELECT pg_start_backup('BASEBACKUP');"
tar -C /usr/local/pgsql/ -zcf - data |ssh 192.168.0.122 "tar -C /usr/local/pgsql/ -zxf -"

"pgFouine is a PostgreSQL log analyzer used to generate detailed reports from a PostgreSQL log file. pgFouine can help you to determine which queries you should optimize to speed up your PostgreSQL based application."
you can use syslog or stderr
for example :use syslog
1. edit your /etc/syslog.conf
*.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none;local0.none /var/log/messages
2. edit postgresl.conf
3.download pgFouine
http://pgfouine.projects.postgresql.org/index.html
than restart syslogd and postgresql
4. analyse log
