Pigsty v0.9.1

Thu, 20 May 2021 00:00:00 +0000

v0.9.1 · 2021-05-20

Update package version:

PostgreSQL 13.3
Grafana 7.5.6

Add configure support.

Now install pigsty with 3 steps: download, configure and install:

curl -fsSL https://github.com/pgsty/pigsty/releases/download/v0.9.1/pigsty.tgz | gzip -d | tar -xC ~; cd ~/pigsty
./configure
make install

WoW! just like old time!

Sources

Pigsty v0.9.0

Sat, 01 May 2021 00:00:00 +0000

v0.9.0 · 2021-05-01

New Stuff

One-liner install: curl -fsSL https://pigsty.cc/install | bash bootstraps everything.
pigsty-cli: wraps the common Ansible playbooks so you stop copy-pasting command lines. Still beta but already handy.
Loki + Promtail: Postgres, pgbouncer, and Patroni logs stream into Grafana with metrics extracted from log volume. infra-loki.yml and pgsql-promtail.yml wire things up.
Binary exporters: grab monitoring binaries with files/get_bin.sh if you don’t want to rely on repos.
Flight mode: once the meta node is initialized you can run bin/upgrade to switch into a dynamic inventory using data stored inside pg-meta.

Fixes

Cleaned up HAProxy health checks that were flooding PG and Patroni logs with connection reset noise.
Patroni logs now carry readable timestamps (no more millisecond fragments) and explicit time zones.
Monitoring queries run by dbuser_monitor log only when slower than 1s.
Grafana role refactor keeps the API stable, but uses CDN-hosted plugin bundles for faster installs.
Pgbouncer user creation now handles md5 passwords properly.
Hardened SQL templates for DB/user creation, fixed DNS orchestration edge cases, and tidied Makefile typos.

Knob Changes

node_disable_swap defaults to false; Pigsty no longer nukes swap by default.
node_sysctl_params stops writing kernel tunables unless you explicitly set them.
grafana_plugin: install now means “download from CDN if cache is missing.”
repo_url_packages pulls extra RPMs from the Pigsty CDN so installs inside China work out of the box.
proxy_env.no_proxy includes the CDN endpoints.
grafana_customize defaults to false; flip it on only if you have the Pigsty Pro UI bits.
node_admin_pk_current adds your current ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub to the admin account.
Loki/Promtail knobs: loki_clean, loki_data_dir, promtail_enabled, promtail_clean, promtail_port, promtail_status_file, promtail_send_url.

Pigsty v0.8.0

Sun, 28 Mar 2021 00:00:00 +0000

v0.8.0 · 2021-03-28

v0.8 finalizes the provisioning API. Services are completely rebuilt: instead of a hard-coded primary/replica pair you can now declare any number of services, plug in HAProxy, swap in an external load balancer, or hand off to a custom VIP controller. Everything else in the supply chain stabilizes on top of this model.

Service API

The old vip and haproxy knobs moved under the service role. pg_services (plus pg_services_extra) define each exposed endpoint—name, ports, selectors, health checks, weights, and balancer hints. Selectors are JMESPath filters over cluster members, and optional selector_backup pools handle fail-in when replicas are gone. Out of the box we ship primary, replica, default, and offline service definitions; swap dst_port to point at postgres, pgbouncer, or any number.

Pigsty v0.7.0

Mon, 01 Mar 2021 00:00:00 +0000

v0.7.0 · 2021-03-01

Pigsty v0.7 focuses on plugging existing fleets into Pigsty’s observability stack. The new monitor-only flow lets you drop Pigsty dashboards onto databases that were provisioned elsewhere, and the declarative APIs for databases and users got a much needed redesign.

Highlights

Monitor-only deployment flow (monly) with its own playbook.
Split static Prometheus target files by cluster for easier hand-editing.
New helper playbooks: pgsql-createuser.yml and pgsql-createdb.yml for live clusters.
Database and user schema definitions now cover owner/template/locale knobs plus per-role capabilities.
Bug fixes for extension schema typos and pgbouncer reload.

API Changes

New options:

Pigsty v0.6.0

Fri, 19 Feb 2021 00:00:00 +0000

v0.6.0 · 2021-02-19

Pigsty v0.6 responds to user feedback with a redesigned provisioning path plus a monitoring stack that can sit beside any managed PG fleet—even a MyBase cluster built elsewhere.

Bug Fixes

Patroni no longer resets PG HBA on restart.
Fixed copy typos and the default primary for the pg-test sandbox cluster.
Patched the dashboard title typo on PG Overview.

Feature Work

Monitoring supply chain overhaul: Prometheus can now run fully static, exporters accept service_registry toggles, and exporter_binary_install lets you drop binaries without hitting repos. Each exporter has its own *_enabled flag.
Prometheus static discovery is rendered straight from inventory, so you can graft Pigsty dashboards onto any PG-as-a-service footprint.
HAProxy provisioning adds a global console at h.pigsty, optional auth, fallback routing to the primary when all replicas die, and per-service weight tuning.
ACL defaults now include dbrole_offline for slow-query/ETL workloads plus HBA rules that fence those workloads to marked nodes.
Component refresh: PostgreSQL 13.2, Prometheus 2.25, pg_exporter 0.3.2, node_exporter 1.1, Consul 1.9.3, and a faster ZJU PG mirror.

API Changes

New knobs:

Pigsty v0.5.2

Wed, 20 Jan 2021 00:00:00 +0000

[!INFO]

This historical version is represented by its Git tag and source tree because no GitHub Release was published.

Highlights

Made pigsty.yml the default configuration and reorganized the standard sandbox.yml, infra.yml, and pgsql.yml workflows.
Split VIP management from HAProxy and added administrator authentication, traffic weights, and primary fallback controls.
Added the nameserver step to the main playbook and refreshed the accompanying documentation.

v0.5.2 is a tagged maintenance snapshot without a separately authored GitHub Release body.

Pigsty v0.5.1

Wed, 13 Jan 2021 00:00:00 +0000

[!INFO]

This historical version is represented by its Git tag and source tree because no GitHub Release was published.

Highlights

Fixed PostgreSQL cluster and instance dashboard issues found after v0.5.0.
Switched the default PostgreSQL mirror to Zhejiang University for faster regional installs.
Refreshed the README and consolidated the v0.5 documentation snapshot.

v0.5.1 is a tagged maintenance snapshot without a separately authored GitHub Release body.

Pigsty v0.5.0

Thu, 07 Jan 2021 00:00:00 +0000

v0.5.0 · 2021-01-07

Outline

The official docs site (http://pigsty.cc/) is live.
Database templating becomes fully declarative: define users, roles, databases, ACLs, extensions, and schemas in config.
The default access model is refined and HBA management now comes straight from Pigsty instead of Patroni.
Grafana provisioning switched from shoving a sqlite file to JSON provisioning via API.
Added the pg-cluster-replication dashboard to the open bundle.
CentOS 7.8 offline bundle: pkg.tgz.

Declarative Database Layouts

Multi-tenant headaches go away once everything is described as code. The new templates let you declare users, passwords, role hierarchies, DB defaults, extensions, schemas, and default privileges in YAML so a single config file replaces piles of runbooks. A stripped example:

Pigsty v0.4.0

Mon, 14 Dec 2020 00:00:00 +0000

v0.4.0 · 2020-12-14

Pigsty v0.4 is our second public beta. The observability stack was rebuilt around Grafana 7.3, and ten curated dashboards became the default open-source payload. pg_exporter 0.3.1 drives metrics, and the alert wiring has been cleaned up for the new Grafana release.

Open-Source Dashboards

The OSS build now exposes ten high-signal Grafana panels: PG Overview, Cluster, Service, Instance, Database, Query, Table, Table Catalog, Table Detail, and Node. Even with a lean set it easily outclasses most “enterprise” PG monitoring suites.

Pigsty v0.3.0

Thu, 22 Oct 2020 00:00:00 +0000

v0.3.0 · 2020-10-22

Pigsty v0.3.0 is the very first public preview. It packages a lean observability stack plus a reproducible offline bundle so you can spin up a real PostgreSQL lab without touching the public Internet.

Observability Stack

The open build ships eight curated Grafana dashboards: PG Overview, Cluster, Service, Instance, Database, Table Overview, Table Catalog, and a bare-metal Node view. Even with a trimmed set the coverage still crushes most “enterprise” monitoring stories.
