EDB Postgres Distributed Command Line Interface (PGD CLI) v5
The EDB Postgres Distributed Command Line Interface (PGD CLI) is a tool for managing your EDB Postgres Distributed cluster. It's the key tool for inspecting and managing cluster resources.
It allows you to run commands against EDB Postgres Distributed clusters to:
- Determine the health of the cluster, inspect the cluster's configuration, and manage the cluster's resources.
- Inspect and manage the cluster's nodes, groups, and proxies.
- Perform switchover operations on the write leaders of groups.
PGD CLI is installed automatically on systems in a TPA-deployed PGD cluster.
You can also install it manually on Linux and macOS systems that can connect to a PGD cluster, including:
- EDB BigAnimal distributed high-availability clusters.
- PGD clusters deployed using the EDB PGD for Kubernetes operator.
- Manually deployed PGD clusters.
- TPA-deployed PGD clusters.
