juju deploy postgresql --channel 14/stable
Deploy universal operators easily with Juju, the Universal Operator Lifecycle Manager.
Platform:
Troubleshooting
Warning: At the moment, there is no ability to pause an operator.
Make sure your activity will not interfere with the operator itself!
Note: All commands are written for juju >= v.3.0
If you are using an earlier version, be aware that:
juju run
replacesjuju run-action --wait
injuju v.2.9
juju integrate
replacesjuju relate
andjuju add-relation
injuju v.2.9
For more information, check the Juju 3.0 Release Notes.
Summary
This page goes over some recommended tools and approaches to troubleshooting the charm.
Before anything, always run juju status
to check the list of charm statuses and the recommended fixes. This alone may already solve your issue.
Otherwise, this reference goes over how to troubleshoot this charm via:
juju
logs
Please be familiar with Juju logs concepts and learn how to manage Juju logs.
Always check the Juju logs before troubleshooting further:
juju debug-log --replay --tail
Focus on ERRORS
(normally there should be none):
juju debug-log --replay | grep -c ERROR
Consider enabling the DEBUG
log level if you are troubleshooting unusual charm behaviour:
juju model-config 'logging-config=<root>=INFO;unit=DEBUG'
The Patroni/PostgreSQL logs are located inside SNAP:
> ls -la /var/snap/charmed-postgresql/common/var/log/*
/var/snap/charmed-postgresql/common/var/log/patroni:

First, check the operator architecture to become familiar with snap content, operator building blocks, and running Juju units.
To enter the unit, use:
juju ssh postgresql/0 bash
Make sure the charmed-postgresql
snap is installed and functional:
ubuntu@juju-fd7874-0:~$ sudo snap list charmed-postgresql

From here you can make sure all snap (systemd) services are running:
ubuntu@juju-fd7874-0# sudo snap services

The list of running snap/systemd services will depend on configured (enabled) COS integration and/or backup functionality. The snap service charmed-postgresql.patroni
must always be active and currently running (the Linux processes snapd
, patroni
and postgres
).
To access PostgreSQL, check the charm users concept and request operator
credentials to use psql
:
> juju show-unit postgresql/0 | awk '/private-address:/{print $2;exit}'
10.47.228.200
> juju run postgresql/leader get-password username=operator
password: rV0Xn4l65KtQsHSq
> juju ssh postgresql/0 bash
> > psql -h 10.47.228.200 -U operator -d postgres -W
> > Password for user operator: rV0Xn4l65KtQsHSq
>
> > postgres=# \l
> > postgres | operator | UTF8 | C.UTF-8 | C.UTF-8 | operator=CTc/operator +
> > | | | | | backup=CTc/operator +
> ...
Continue troubleshooting your database/SQL related issues from here.
Warning: Do NOT manage users, credentials, databases, schema directly. This avoids a split brain situation with the operator and integrated applications.
It is NOT recommended to restart services directly as it might create a split brain situation with operator internal state. If you see the problem with a unit, consider removing the failing unit and adding a new unit to recover the cluster state.
As a last resort, contact us if you cannot determine the source of your issue.
Also, feel free to improve this document!
Install extra software
We recommend you do not install any additional software. This may affect stability and produce anomalies that are hard to troubleshoot.
Sometimes, however, it is necessary to install some extra troubleshooting software.
Use the common approach:
ubuntu@juju-fd7874-0:~$ sudo apt update && sudo apt install gdb
...
Setting up gdb (12.1-0ubuntu1~22.04) ...
ubuntu@juju-fd7874-0:~$
Always remove manually installed components at the end of troubleshooting. Keep the house clean!
