.. _environment:

Environment Configuration Settings
==================================

It is possible to override some of the configuration parameters defined in the Patroni configuration file using the system environment variables. This document lists all environment variables handled by Patroni. The values set via those variables always take precedence over the ones set in the Patroni configuration file.

Global/Universal
----------------
-  **PATRONI\_CONFIGURATION**: it is possible to set the entire configuration for the Patroni via ``PATRONI_CONFIGURATION`` environment variable. In this case any other environment variables will not be considered!
-  **PATRONI\_NAME**: name of the node where the current instance of Patroni is running. Must be unique for the cluster.
-  **PATRONI\_NAMESPACE**: path within the configuration store where Patroni will keep information about the cluster. Default value: "/service"
-  **PATRONI\_SCOPE**: cluster name

Log
---
-  **PATRONI\_LOG\_LEVEL**: sets the general logging level. Default value is **INFO** (see `the docs for Python logging <https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/logging.html#levels>`_)
-  **PATRONI\_LOG\_TRACEBACK\_LEVEL**: sets the level where tracebacks will be visible. Default value is **ERROR**. Set it to **DEBUG** if you want to see tracebacks only if you enable **PATRONI\_LOG\_LEVEL=DEBUG**.
-  **PATRONI\_LOG\_FORMAT**: sets the log formatting string. Default value is **%(asctime)s %(levelname)s: %(message)s** (see `the LogRecord attributes <https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/logging.html#logrecord-attributes>`_)
-  **PATRONI\_LOG\_DATEFORMAT**: sets the datetime formatting string. (see the `formatTime() documentation <https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/logging.html#logging.Formatter.formatTime>`_)
-  **PATRONI\_LOG\_MAX\_QUEUE\_SIZE**: Patroni is using two-step logging. Log records are written into the in-memory queue and there is a separate thread which pulls them from the queue and writes to stderr or file. The maximum size of the internal queue is limited by default by **1000** records, which is enough to keep logs for the past 1h20m.
-  **PATRONI\_LOG\_DIR**: Directory to write application logs to. The directory must exist and be writable by the user executing Patroni. If you set this env variable, the application will retain 4 25MB logs by default. You can tune those retention values with `PATRONI_LOG_FILE_NUM` and `PATRONI_LOG_FILE_SIZE` (see below).
-  **PATRONI\_LOG\_FILE\_NUM**: The number of application logs to retain.
-  **PATRONI\_LOG\_FILE\_SIZE**: Size of patroni.log file (in bytes) that triggers a log rolling.
-  **PATRONI\_LOG\_LOGGERS**: Redefine logging level per python module. Example ``PATRONI_LOG_LOGGERS="{patroni.postmaster: WARNING, urllib3: DEBUG}"``

Bootstrap configuration
-----------------------
It is possible to create new database users right after the successful initialization of a new cluster. This process is defined by the following variables:

-  **PATRONI\_<username>\_PASSWORD='<password>'**
-  **PATRONI\_<username>\_OPTIONS='list,of,options'**

Example: defining ``PATRONI_admin_PASSWORD=strongpasswd`` and ``PATRONI_admin_OPTIONS='createrole,createdb'`` will cause creation of the user **admin** with the password **strongpasswd** that is allowed to create other users and databases.

Citus
-----
Enables integration Patroni with `Citus <https://docs.citusdata.com>`__. If configured, Patroni will take care of registering Citus worker nodes on the coordinator. You can find more information about Citus support :ref:`here <citus>`.

-  **PATRONI\_CITUS\_GROUP**: the Citus group id, integer. Use ``0`` for coordinator and ``1``, ``2``, etc... for workers
-  **PATRONI\_CITUS\_DATABASE**: the database where ``citus`` extension should be created. Must be the same on the coordinator and all workers. Currently only one database is supported.

Consul

-  **PATRONI\_CONSUL\_DC**: (optional) Datacenter to communicate with. By default the datacenter of the host is used.
-  **PATRONI\_CONSUL\_CONSISTENCY**: (optional) Select consul consistency mode. Possible values are ``default``, ``consistent``, or ``stale`` (more details in `consul API reference <https://www.consul.io/api/features/consistency.html/>`__)
-  **PATRONI\_CONSUL\_CHECKS**: (optional) list of Consul health checks used for the session. By default an empty list is used.
-  **PATRONI\_CONSUL\_REGISTER\_SERVICE**: (optional) whether or not to register a service with the name defined by the scope parameter and the tag master, primary, replica, or standby-leader depending on the node's role. Defaults to **false**
-  **PATRONI\_CONSUL\_SERVICE\_TAGS**: (optional) additional static tags to add to the Consul service apart from the role (``master``/``primary``/``replica``/``standby-leader``). By default an empty list is used.
-  **PATRONI\_CONSUL\_SERVICE\_CHECK\_INTERVAL**: (optional) how often to perform health check against registered url

Etcd
----

-  **PATRONI\_ETCD\_PROXY**: proxy url for the etcd. If you are connecting to the etcd using proxy, use this parameter instead of **PATRONI\_ETCD\_URL**
-  **PATRONI\_ETCD\_URL**: url for the etcd, in format: http(s)://(username:password@)host:port
-  **PATRONI\_ETCD\_HOSTS**: list of etcd endpoints in format 'host1:port1','host2:port2',etc...
-  **PATRONI\_ETCD\_USE\_PROXIES**: If this parameter is set to true, Patroni will consider **hosts** as a list of proxies and will not perform a topology discovery of etcd cluster but stick to a fixed list of **hosts**.
-  **PATRONI\_ETCD\_PROTOCOL**: http or https, if not specified http is used. If the **url** or **proxy** is specified - will take protocol from them.
-  **PATRONI\_ETCD\_HOST**: the host:port for the etcd endpoint.
-  **PATRONI\_ETCD\_SRV**: Domain to search the SRV record(s) for cluster autodiscovery. Patroni will try to query these SRV service names for specified domain (in that order until first success): ``_etcd-client-ssl``, ``_etcd-client``, ``_etcd-ssl``, ``_etcd``, ``_etcd-server-ssl``, ``_etcd-server``. If SRV records for ``_etcd-server-ssl`` or ``_etcd-server`` are retrieved then ETCD peer protocol is used do query ETCD for available members. Otherwise hosts from SRV records will be used.
-  **PATRONI\_ETCD\_SRV\_SUFFIX**: Configures a suffix to the SRV name that is queried during discovery. Use this flag to differentiate between multiple etcd clusters under the same domain. Works only with conjunction with **PATRONI\_ETCD\_SRV**. For example, if ``PATRONI_ETCD_SRV_SUFFIX=foo`` and ``PATRONI_ETCD_SRV=example.org`` are set, the following DNS SRV query is made:``_etcd-client-ssl-foo._tcp.example.com`` (and so on for every possible ETCD SRV service name).
-  **PATRONI\_ETCD\_USERNAME**: username for etcd authentication.
-  **PATRONI\_ETCD\_PASSWORD**: password for etcd authentication.
-  **PATRONI\_ETCD\_CACERT**: The ca certificate. If present it will enable validation.

-  **PATRONI\_ETCD\_KEY**: File with the client key. Can be empty if the key is part of certificate.

Etcdv3
------
Environment names for Etcdv3 are similar as for Etcd, you just need to use ``ETCD3`` instead of ``ETCD`` in the variable name. Example: ``PATRONI_ETCD3_HOST``, ``PATRONI_ETCD3_CACERT``, and so on.

.. warning::
    Keys created with protocol version 2 are not visible with protocol version 3 and the other way around, therefore it is not possible to switch from Etcd to Etcdv3 just by updating Patroni configuration.


ZooKeeper
---------
-  **PATRONI\_ZOOKEEPER\_HOSTS**: Comma separated list of ZooKeeper cluster members: "'host1:port1','host2:port2','etc...'". It is important to quote every single entity!

-  **PATRONI\_ZOOKEEPER\_SET\_ACLS**: (optional) If set, configure Kazoo to apply a default ACL to each ZNode that it creates. ACLs will assume 'x509' schema and should be specified as a dictionary with the principal as the key and one or more permissions as a list in the value.  Permissions may be one of ``CREATE``, ``READ``, ``WRITE``, ``DELETE`` or ``ADMIN``.  For example, ``set_acls: {CN=principal1: [CREATE, READ], CN=principal2: [ALL]}``.

.. note::
    It is required to install ``kazoo>=2.6.0`` to support SSL.


Exhibitor
---------
-  **PATRONI\_EXHIBITOR\_HOSTS**: initial list of Exhibitor (ZooKeeper) nodes in format: 'host1,host2,etc...'. This list updates automatically whenever the Exhibitor (ZooKeeper) cluster topology changes.
-  **PATRONI\_EXHIBITOR\_PORT**: Exhibitor port.

.. _kubernetes_environment:

Kubernetes
----------
-  **PATRONI\_KUBERNETES\_BYPASS\_API\_SERVICE**: (optional) When communicating with the Kubernetes API, Patroni is usually relying on the `kubernetes` service, the address of which is exposed in the pods via the `KUBERNETES_SERVICE_HOST` environment variable.

-  **PATRONI\_KUBERNETES\_POD\_IP**: (optional) IP address of the pod Patroni is running in. This value is required when `PATRONI_KUBERNETES_USE_ENDPOINTS` is enabled and is used to populate the leader endpoint subsets when the pod's PostgreSQL is promoted.
-  **PATRONI\_KUBERNETES\_PORTS**: (optional) if the Service object has the name for the port, the same name must appear in the Endpoint object, otherwise service won't work. For example, if your service is defined as ``{Kind: Service, spec: {ports: [{name: postgresql, port: 5432, targetPort: 5432}]}}``, then you have to set ``PATRONI_KUBERNETES_PORTS='[{"name": "postgresql", "port": 5432}]'`` and Patroni will use it for updating subsets of the leader Endpoint. This parameter is used only if `PATRONI_KUBERNETES_USE_ENDPOINTS` is set.
-  **PATRONI\_KUBERNETES\_CACERT**: (optional) Specifies the file with the CA_BUNDLE file with certificates of trusted CAs to use while verifying Kubernetes API SSL certs. If not provided, patroni will use the value provided by the ServiceAccount secret.

-  **PATRONI\_RAFT\_PARTNER\_ADDRS**: list of other Patroni nodes in the cluster in format ``"'ip1:port1','ip2:port2'"``. It is important to quote every single entity!
-  **PATRONI\_RAFT\_DATA\_DIR**: directory where to store Raft log and snapshot. If not specified the current working directory is used.
-  **PATRONI\_RAFT\_PASSWORD**: (optional) Encrypt Raft traffic with a specified password, requires ``cryptography`` python module.
