Configuring a postgres HA Cluster data source

Get Help
1

I have a postgres datasource hosted on a HA cluster comprising 3 servers hosts , I require to add all 3 hosts to any connection strings to ensure I reach the current active node. Adding more than one host in the databases config (comma delimited) causes a timeout. Do I just have to stick with a single host and hope it's active ?

troubleshooting info?

We added support for HA in a version newer than the one you’re using. Please upgrade

Hi
I tried upgrading to v0.46.4 but still seeing the same issue.
Works when I use single server in host, but fails when I comma delimit the additional ones

I'm running docker container version with seperate DB.

Is the connection string a specific format like the MongoDB one?

Please post the connection string to the db with redacted values

Hi Luiggi

I don't have a connection string as such, i'm just using the 'add database' page in the admin/Databases page. Should the 'Host' field be able to accept more than a single host?

Unlike the MongoDB set up there is no option to paste a connection string.

kind regards
Steve

Ok so it’s not the app db but rather a data source. We don’t support that yet, so you should use a pgbouncer or pgproxy on top of the db and connect Metabase to the proxy
