help repmgr FAQ
What is repmgr actually used for in PostgreSQL?
repmgr is an open-source PostgreSQL tool for setting up, monitoring, and managing streaming replication. It is associated with 2ndQuadrant, now part of EnterpriseDB, rather than Zerto.
Can repmgr handle PostgreSQL failover?
Yes, repmgr can support standby promotion and controlled failover in PostgreSQL clusters. Administrators still need to design fencing, client redirection, and recovery procedures around it.
Does repmgr replicate data by itself?
repmgr manages PostgreSQL’s native streaming replication rather than replacing the database replication engine. It helps register nodes, clone standbys, monitor status, and coordinate administrative actions.
Is repmgr the same product as Zerto?
No. Zerto is a commercial disaster-recovery platform focused on workload replication and recovery orchestration, while repmgr is a PostgreSQL-specific open-source management utility.
