# Working with the bundled PgBouncer service **(PREMIUM ONLY)**
|
|
|
|
[PgBouncer](http://www.pgbouncer.org/) is used to seamlessly migrate database
|
|
connections between servers in a failover scenario. Additionally, it can be used
|
|
in a non-fault-tolerant setup to pool connections, speeding up response time
|
|
while reducing resource usage.
|
|
|
|
GitLab Premium includes a bundled version of PgBouncer that can be managed
|
|
through `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`.
|
|
|
|
## PgBouncer as part of a fault-tolerant GitLab installation
|
|
|
|
This content has been moved to a [new location](replication_and_failover.md#configuring-the-pgbouncer-node).
|
|
|
|
## PgBouncer as part of a non-fault-tolerant GitLab installation
|
|
|
|
1. Generate PGBOUNCER_USER_PASSWORD_HASH with the command `gitlab-ctl pg-password-md5 pgbouncer`
|
|
|
|
1. Generate SQL_USER_PASSWORD_HASH with the command `gitlab-ctl pg-password-md5 gitlab`. We'll also need to enter the plaintext SQL_USER_PASSWORD later
|
|
|
|
1. On your database node, ensure the following is set in your `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
postgresql['pgbouncer_user_password'] = 'PGBOUNCER_USER_PASSWORD_HASH'
|
|
postgresql['sql_user_password'] = 'SQL_USER_PASSWORD_HASH'
|
|
postgresql['listen_address'] = 'XX.XX.XX.Y' # Where XX.XX.XX.Y is the ip address on the node postgresql should listen on
|
|
postgresql['md5_auth_cidr_addresses'] = %w(AA.AA.AA.B/32) # Where AA.AA.AA.B is the IP address of the pgbouncer node
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. Run `gitlab-ctl reconfigure`
|
|
|
|
NOTE: **Note:**
|
|
If the database was already running, it will need to be restarted after reconfigure by running `gitlab-ctl restart postgresql`.
|
|
|
|
1. On the node you are running PgBouncer on, make sure the following is set in `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
pgbouncer['enable'] = true
|
|
pgbouncer['databases'] = {
|
|
gitlabhq_production: {
|
|
host: 'DATABASE_HOST',
|
|
user: 'pgbouncer',
|
|
password: 'PGBOUNCER_USER_PASSWORD_HASH'
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. Run `gitlab-ctl reconfigure`
|
|
|
|
1. On the node running Puma, make sure the following is set in `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
gitlab_rails['db_host'] = 'PGBOUNCER_HOST'
|
|
gitlab_rails['db_port'] = '6432'
|
|
gitlab_rails['db_password'] = 'SQL_USER_PASSWORD'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. Run `gitlab-ctl reconfigure`
|
|
|
|
1. At this point, your instance should connect to the database through PgBouncer. If you are having issues, see the [Troubleshooting](#troubleshooting) section
|
|
|
|
## Enable Monitoring
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/-/issues/3786) in GitLab 12.0.
|
|
|
|
If you enable Monitoring, it must be enabled on **all** PgBouncer servers.
|
|
|
|
1. Create/edit `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb` and add the following configuration:
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
# Enable service discovery for Prometheus
|
|
consul['enable'] = true
|
|
consul['monitoring_service_discovery'] = true
|
|
|
|
# Replace placeholders
|
|
# Y.Y.Y.Y consul1.gitlab.example.com Z.Z.Z.Z
|
|
# with the addresses of the Consul server nodes
|
|
consul['configuration'] = {
|
|
retry_join: %w(Y.Y.Y.Y consul1.gitlab.example.com Z.Z.Z.Z),
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
# Set the network addresses that the exporters will listen on
|
|
node_exporter['listen_address'] = '0.0.0.0:9100'
|
|
pgbouncer_exporter['listen_address'] = '0.0.0.0:9188'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. Run `sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure` to compile the configuration.
|
|
|
|
## Administrative console
|
|
|
|
As part of Omnibus GitLab, a command is provided to automatically connect to the
|
|
PgBouncer administrative console. See the
|
|
[PgBouncer documentation](https://www.pgbouncer.org/usage.html#admin-console)
|
|
for detailed instructions on how to interact with the console.
|
|
|
|
To start a session run the following and provide the password for the `pgbouncer`
|
|
user:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
sudo gitlab-ctl pgb-console
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To get some basic information about the instance:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
pgbouncer=# show databases; show clients; show servers;
|
|
name | host | port | database | force_user | pool_size | reserve_pool | pool_mode | max_connections | current_connections
|

## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
In case you are experiencing any issues connecting through PgBouncer, the first
|
|
place to check is always the logs:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
sudo gitlab-ctl tail pgbouncer
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Additionally, you can check the output from `show databases` in the
|
|
[administrative console](#administrative-console). In the output, you would expect
|
|
to see values in the `host` field for the `gitlabhq_production` database.
|
|
Additionally, `current_connections` should be greater than 1.
