<li><strong>name</strong>: the name of the host. Must be unique for the cluster.</li>

<dt><strong>dcs</strong>: This section will be written into <cite>/&lt;namespace&gt;/&lt;scope&gt;/config</cite> of a given configuration store after initializing of new cluster. This is the global configuration for the cluster. If you want to change some parameters for all cluster nodes - just do it in DCS (or via Patroni API) and all nodes will apply this configuration.</dt>
<dd><ul class="first last">
<li><strong>loop_wait</strong>: the number of seconds the loop will sleep. Default value: 10</li>
<li><strong>ttl</strong>: the TTL to acquire the leader lock. Think of it as the length of time before initiation of the automatic failover process. Default value: 30</li>
<li><strong>retry_timeout</strong>: timeout for DCS and PostgreSQL operation retries. DCS or network issues shorter than this will not cause Patroni to demote the leader. Default value: 10</li>
<li><strong>maximum_lag_on_failover</strong>: the maximum bytes a follower may lag to be able to participate in leader election.</li>
<li><strong>master_start_timeout</strong>: the amount of time a master is allowed to recover from failures before failover is triggered. Default is 300 seconds. When set to 0 failover is done immediately after a crash is detected if possible. When using asynchronous replication a failover can cause lost transactions. Best worst case failover time for master failure is: loop_wait + master_start_timeout + loop_wait, unless master_start_timeout is zero, in which case it’s just loop_wait. Set the value according to your durability/availability tradeoff.</li>
<li><strong>synchronous_mode</strong>: turns on synchronous replication mode. In this mode a replica will be chosen as synchronous and only the latest leader and synchronous replica are able to participate in leader election. Synchronous mode makes sure that succesfully committed transactions will not be lost at failover, at the cost of losing availability for writes when Patroni cannot ensure transaction durability.

These labels will be used to find existing objects (Pods and either Endpoints or ConfigMaps) associated with the current cluster. Also Patroni will set them on every object (Endpoint or ConfigMap) it creates.</li>
<li><strong>scope_label</strong>: (optional) name of the label containing cluster name. Default value is <cite>cluster-name</cite>.</li>
<li><strong>role_label</strong>: (optional) name of the label containing role (master or replica). Patroni will set this label on the pod it runs in. Default value is <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">role</span></code>.</li>
<li><strong>use_endpoints</strong>: (optional) if set to true, Patroni will use Endpoints instead of ConfigMaps to run leader elections and keep cluster state.</li>
<li><strong>pod_ip</strong>: (optional) IP address of the pod Patroni is running in. This value is required when <cite>use_endpoints</cite> is enabled and is used to populate the leader endpoint subsets when the pod’s PostgreSQL is promoted.</li>
<li><strong>ports</strong>: (optional) if the Service object has the name for the port, the same name must appear in the Endpoint object, otherwise service wont work. For example, if your service is defined as <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">{Kind:</span> <span class="pre">Service,</span> <span class="pre">spec:</span> <span class="pre">{ports:</span> <span class="pre">[{name:</span> <span class="pre">postgresql,</span> <span class="pre">port:</span> <span class="pre">5432,</span> <span class="pre">targetPort:</span> <span class="pre">5432}]}}</span></code>, then you have to set <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">kubernetes.ports:</span> <span class="pre">{[{&quot;name&quot;:</span> <span class="pre">&quot;postgresql&quot;,</span> <span class="pre">&quot;port&quot;:</span> <span class="pre">5432}]}</span></code> and Patroni will use it for updating subsets of the leader Endpoint. This parameter is used only if <cite>kubernetes.use_endpoints</cite> is set.</li>

<li><strong>connect_address</strong>: IP address + port through which Postgres is accessible from other nodes and applications.</li>
<li><strong>create_replica_method</strong>: an ordered list of the create methods for turning a Patroni node into a new replica.
“basebackup” is the default method; other methods are assumed to refer to scripts, each of which is configured as its
own config item. See <a class="reference internal" href="replica_bootstrap.html#custom-replica-creation"><span class="std std-ref">custom replica creation methods documentation</span></a> for further explanation.</li>
<li><strong>data_dir</strong>: The location of the Postgres data directory, either existing or to be initialized by Patroni.</li>
<li><strong>config_dir</strong>: The location of the Postgres configuration directory, defaults to the data directory. Must be writable by Patroni.</li>
<li><strong>bin_dir</strong>: Path to PostgreSQL binaries. (pg_ctl, pg_rewind, pg_basebackup, postgres) The  default value is an empty string meaning that PATH environment variable will be used to find the executables.</li>
<li><strong>listen</strong>: IP address + port that Postgres listens to; must be accessible from other nodes in the cluster, if you’re using streaming replication. Multiple comma-separated addresses are permitted, as long as the port component is appended after to the last one with a colon, i.e. <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">listen:</span> <span class="pre">127.0.0.1,127.0.0.2:5432</span></code>. Patroni will use the first address from this list to establish local connections to the PostgreSQL node.</li>
<li><strong>use_unix_socket</strong>: specifies that Patroni should prefer to use unix sockets to connect to the cluster. Default value is <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">false</span></code>. If <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">unix_socket_directories</span></code> is definded, Patroni will use first suitable value from it to connect to the cluster and fallback to tcp if nothing is suitable. If <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">unix_socket_directories</span></code> is not specified in <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">postgresql.parameters</span></code>, Patroni will assume that default value should be used and omit <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">host</span></code> from connection parameters.</li>
<li><strong>pgpass</strong>: path to the <a class="reference external" href="https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/libpq-pgpass.html">.pgpass</a> password file. Patroni creates this file before executing pg_basebackup, the post_init script and under some other circumstances. The location must be writable by Patroni.</li>
<li><strong>recovery_conf</strong>: additional configuration settings written to recovery.conf when configuring follower.</li>
<li><strong>custom_conf</strong> : path to an optional custom <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">postgresql.conf</span></code> file, that will be used in place of <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">postgresql.base.conf</span></code>. The file must exist on all cluster nodes, be readable by PostgreSQL and will be included from its location on the real <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">postgresql.conf</span></code>. Note that Patroni will not monitor this file for changes, nor backup it. However, its settings can still be overriden by Patroni’s own configuration facilities - see <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/zalando/patroni/blob/master/docs/dynamic_configuration.rst">dynamic configuration</a> for details.</li>
<li><strong>parameters</strong>: list of configuration settings for Postgres. Many of these are required for replication to work.</li>
<li><dl class="first docutils">
<dt><strong>pg_hba</strong>: list of lines that Patroni will use to generate <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">pg_hba.conf</span></code>.

Together with <a class="reference internal" href="dynamic_configuration.html#dynamic-configuration"><span class="std std-ref">dynamic configuration</span></a> it simplifies management of <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">pg_hba.conf</span></code>.</dt>

Default value is 60 seconds.</li>
<li><strong>use_pg_rewind</strong>: try to use pg_rewind on the former leader when it joins cluster as a replica.</li>
<li><strong>remove_data_directory_on_rewind_failure</strong>: If this option is enabled, Patroni will remove postgres data directory and recreate replica. Otherwise it will try to follow the new leader. Default value is <strong>false</strong>.</li>
<li><strong>replica_method</strong> for each create_replica_method other than basebackup, you would add a configuration section of the same name. At a minimum, this should include “command” with a full path to the actual script to be executed.  Other configuration parameters will be passed along to the script in the form “parameter=value”.</li>
