Hello everyone. We have a pgpool & postgres setup made as per the given example <https://www.pgpool.net/docs/latest/en/html/example-cluster.html>
We haven't configured the *if_up_cmd, if_down_cmd & **arping_cmd* in pgpool.conf (we commented it out on purpose). We enabled the *delegate_ip* and assigned a unused IP. While we bringing up the pgpool the log shows VIP is successfully UP via if_up_cmd, how is this happening? any default way is considering the if_up_cmd to bring the VIP? *2024-06-18 08:27:02.735: watchdog_utility pid 102493: LOG: successfully acquired the delegate IP:"10.127.1.20"2024-06-18 08:27:02.735: watchdog_utility pid 102493: DETAIL: 'if_up_cmd' returned with success2024-06-18 08:27:02.735: watchdog pid 102378: LOG: watchdog escalation process with pid: 102493 exit with SUCCESS.* NOTE: We run into some situation so that we disabled the if_* commands in the configuration and started pgpool, but VIP is getting acquired by the leader pgpool node even the if_* commands are not used in pgpool.conf file. Can anyone explain how the VIP works in pgpool watchdog Thank you Regards Mukesh Tanuku
