wd_cli - Watchdog Command Line Interface (CLI) utility for the external health-check system integration.

wd_cli Provides a convenient and easy to use interface to interact with watchdog and perform health check
       related node operations.

       When some external health-check system is configured to monitor the health of Pgpool-II cluster and it
       detects a node failure.  wd_cli utility can be used to pass this information to Pgpool-II cluster so that
       it can take the appropriate actions.

               #inform Pgpool-II about node named RN-110 failure
               wd_cli --inform DEAD -N 'RN-110' -p 9001 -m 'Pgpool node with name RN-110 is not reachable'

               #inform Pgpool-II about node-id 10 failure
               wd_cli --inform DEAD -n 10 -m 'Pgpool node with ID 10 is not responding'

       Similarly to inform Pgpool-II about the node is alive again.

               #inform Pgpool-II about node-id 10 re-joining
               wd_cli --inform ALIVE -n 10 -m 'Pgpool node with ID 10 is reachable again'

       wd_cli can also be used to get the current status of cluster nodes.

               wd_cli -f simple_conf/watchdog/pgpool_wd1.conf --info -v --all

       -nWATCHDOG_NODE_ID--node-id=WATCHDOG_NODE_ID
           Select watchdog node by node_id.

       -NNODE_NAME--node-name=NODE_NAME
           Select watchdog node by name.

       -HHOSTNAME--node-host=HOSTNAME
           Select watchdog node by hostname.

       -PPORT_NO--node-port=PORT_NO
           Select watchdog node by port number.

-i--info
           Get the node status for node(s) based on node search criteria

       -INEW_STATUS--inform=NEW_STATUS
           Update the watchdog node status. Allowed values are DEAD and ALIVE

-kKEY--auth-key=KEY
           Watchdog auth key. Specifying auth-key over rides the pgpool.conf->wd_authkey value.

           Optional message string to be passed to Pgpool-II along with the node status.

       -v--verbose
