Thread: PGAgent 4.0 error feedback

PGAgent 4.0 error feedback

From
Rob Emery
Date:
Hi Guys,

I've been testing out PGAgent 4 (build today from master at commit
86ca5c5ed1ad572075ba27e05e4680ebdf5b9feb) to check the connection
handling on error is still fixed with the boost reimplementation
(which it is!)
and noticed a few issues compared to PGAgent 3 around feedback to the
user if the connection string is incorrect.

I've tested with incorrect username and password, user not in the hba,
db doesn't exist, postgresql not running on the host (or incorrect
hostaddr) and 4 seems to always returns the error :
`
ERROR: Couldn't find the function 'pgagent_schema_version' - please
run pgagent_upgrade.sql.
`

whereas 3.4.1 tends to output from the pgconnection itself like:
`
Sat Jun  9 21:32:13 2018 : WARNING: Couldn't create the primary
connection (attempt 1): FATAL:  no pg_hba.conf entry for host
"172.30.0.16", user "pgagent_login_role", database
"pgagent_login_role", SSL on
FATAL:  no pg_hba.conf entry for host "172.30.0.16", user
"pgagent_login_role", database "pgagent_login_role", SSL off
`

which at least points the user towards the actual error!

Not sure if this is known already, but I thought I'd raise it prior to release.

Thanks,
Rob

Is it possible for you to share the logs with log level set to debug?
Also - please share the operating system details?

Is it possible for you to share the logs with log level set to debug?
Also - please share the operating system details?

I've sent a patch to resolve the issue  based on some assumptions, to verify those assumptions I would still like to see the logs (if you can provide), and operating system information.

Re: PGAgent 4.0 error feedback

Hi Ashesh,

Log-level wise I was using the same command for both versions:

 ./pgagent -f -l 2 -t 1 -r 1 'hostaddr=server user=username
password=password dbname=postgres'

and messing up the connection string in various ways (missing dbname,
incorrect password, incorrect hostaddr)

This was built and tested on  Debian GNU/Linux 9.4 (stretch).

I've attached an example of the differing output when the dbname is missing
from the connectionstring; basically it's the same for all errors.

Many Thanks,
Rob

Thanks a lot for the information.

Hello Again,

I've just tested the patch and the output is *much* more verbose with the same
set of flags now, even more so than the old version (see attached).

Thanks,
Rob

I've just tested the patch and the output is *much* more verbose with the same

Thanks,
Rob

Yes.

A many systems, pgAgent service starts before the database service file on opearting system start.
Hence - instead of quitting on first connection failure, we attempt to connect the database server at least 10 time before quitting, and that would give the database server to start.

Thanks,
Rob
