BARMAN-CONFIG-UPDATE(1)

NAME

barman-config-update - Barman Sub-Commands

SYNOPSIS

config-update


    [ { -h | --help } ]


    STRING

DESCRIPTION

Create or update the configurations for servers and/or models in Barman. The parameter should be a JSON string containing an array of documents. Each document must include a scope key, which can be either server or model, and either a server_name or model_name key, depending on the scope value. Additionally, the document should include other keys representing Barman configuration options and their desired values.

Note:

The barman config-update command writes configuration options to a file named .barman.auto.conf, located in the barman_home directory. This configuration file has higher precedence and will override values from the global Barman configuration file (usually /etc/barman.conf) and from any included files specified in configuration_files_directory (typically files in /etc/barman.d). Be aware of this if you decide to manually modify configuration options in those files later.

PARAMETERS

STRING: List of JSON formatted string.
-h / --help: Show a help message and exit. Provides information about command usage.

EXAMPLE

JSON_STRING='[{“scope”: “server”, “server_name”: “my_server”, “archiver”: “on”, “streaming_archiver”: “off”}]'
