Viewing status from the command line

You can get the status of replication for both the postgres database and file system synchronization from the command line. You can also view the replication status in a loop, so that it continues to update every three seconds and exits only when the synchronization is complete.

Procedure

  1. Run the following command to view the current replication status: 
    sudo resDrStatus

    This returns the replication status, for example:

    Postgresql Replication Status: Running, Replication delay=120 bytes
File Replication Status: Running (Synced)
  2. To run the replication status in a loop so that it updates every 30 seconds, and so that it exits only when the receiver appliance is fully synchronized with the master appliance, run the following command: 
    sudo bash /usr/bin/resDrStatus -w

    To manually stop this process, press Ctrl + C.
