From 6a1ff112ceb5fa1b6b344769ededfafa55eb8d90 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nadav Shatz Date: Sun, 24 Aug 2025 13:49:36 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] Add external command replication delay source feature This patch introduces a comprehensive external command replication delay source feature that allows pgpool to retrieve replication delay information from external commands instead of built-in database queries. Key Features: - External command execution with configurable timeout (1-3600 seconds) - Secure command construction with injection protection - Support for running commands as specific users (sr_check_user) - Comprehensive input validation and error handling - Graceful fallback to built-in method on failures Configuration Options: - replication_delay_source: 'builtin' (default) or 'cmd' - replication_delay_source_cmd: external command to execute - replication_delay_source_timeout: command timeout in seconds (default: 10) Security Features: - Command injection protection via proper single-quote escaping - Safe su command construction preventing malicious execution - Input validation to prevent injection through delay values - Comprehensive range validation for delay values Robustness Features: - SIGALRM-based timeout mechanism with proper signal handling - Dynamic buffer allocation (4KB) with truncation detection - PG_TRY/PG_CATCH blocks for proper error handling and cleanup - Memory leak prevention in all error paths - Token count validation ensuring output matches NUM_BACKENDS - Primary node delay correction (always 0ms) - Support for both integer and floating-point delay values Command Format: External commands should output space-separated delay values in milliseconds: "node0_delay node1_delay node2_delay ..." Example: "0 25.5 100" (primary: 0ms, standby1: 25.5ms, standby2: 100ms) This enables integration with custom monitoring solutions, external replication lag measurement tools, and enterprise monitoring systems while maintaining full backward compatibility and security. --- src/config/pool_config_variables.c | 36 ++ src/include/pool_config.h | 9 + src/sample/pgpool.conf.sample-stream | 16 + src/streaming_replication/pool_worker_child.c | 333 +++++++++++++++++- 4 files changed, 393 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/src/config/pool_config_variables.c b/src/config/pool_config_variables.c index 5bbe46d3a..233bada89 100644 --- a/src/config/pool_config_variables.c +++ b/src/config/pool_config_variables.c @@ -310,6 +310,12 @@ static const struct config_enum_entry check_temp_table_options[] = { {NULL, 0, false} };
