EDB Postgres Distributed Command Line Interface (PGD CLI) v6.0.1

The EDB Postgres Distributed Command Line Interface (PGD CLI) is a tool for managing your EDB Postgres Distributed cluster. It's the key tool for inspecting and managing cluster resources.

It allows you to run commands against EDB Postgres Distributed clusters to:

  • Determine the health of the cluster, inspect the cluster's configuration, and manage the cluster's resources.
  • Inspect and manage the cluster's nodes and groups.
  • Perform a write-leader change operation on the group.

You can also install it manually on Linux and macOS systems that can connect to a PGD cluster, including:

  • HCP advanced and distributed high-availability clusters.
  • PGD clusters deployed using the CloudNative Postgres Global Clusters operator.
  • Manually deployed PGD clusters.
