💖 BARMAN-DIAGNOSE 💖

okay bestie, welcome to barman-diagnose(1) — yes that's the man page, and yes it lives in the Barman manual section 1. pull up a chair, we're doing diagnostics 🩺✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

diagnose
    [ { -h | --help } ]
    [ --show-config-source ]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so like. this command is the ultimate vibe check for your whole setup 💅 it spits out diagnostic info about the Barman node — which is the server where Barman itself is installed — AND about every single Postgres server you've got configured. all of them. the whole squad. 🫶

what kinda tea are we talking? we're talking details like:

  • the global configuration
  • the SSH version
  • the Python version
  • the rsync version
  • the current configuration and status of every server
  • and many more 🌈

it's giving "tell me everything about yourself, no cap." and honestly? iconic. 👑

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

  • -h / --help — shows you a help message and then dips out (exits). it's there to give you the info about how to use the command. lowkey the nicest thing a flag can do for you 🥹
  • --show-config-source — this one's for the girlies who need receipts 📝 it includes the source file that provides the effective value for each configuration option. so instead of just seeing what the value is, you also see where it came from. obsessed.
💀 fr fr, if you're debugging some cursed config situation and you can't figure out which file is overriding what — --show-config-source is your bestie. use it.
