Hi,

Just upgraded one of my postgres db's to 9.6 and I am getting this from barman:

    pg_receivexlog: OK
    pg_receivexlog compatible: FAILED (PostgreSQL version: 9.6.0, pg_receivexlog version: 9.5.4)
    receive-wal running: FAILED (See the Barman log file for more details)
    archiver errors: OK
[barman@barman:0 ~]$ barman receive-wal datavarehus4
Starting receive-wal for server datavarehus4
ERROR: Impossible to start a receive-wal process for server datavarehus4: pg_receivexlog version not compatible with PostgreSQL server version
[barman@barman:0 ~]$

Do I need barman 2.0 to support postgres 9.6 or is this due to something else? :)

Kind regards, Alf

This is what I find in barman.log:

2016-10-13 20:56:01,656 [4021] barman.server INFO: Starting receive-wal for server datavarehus4
2016-10-13 20:56:01,659 [4024] barman.server INFO: Starting receive-wal for server datavarehus4
2016-10-13 20:56:01,660 [4024] barman.server INFO: Another receive-wal process is already running for server datavarehus4.
2016-10-13 20:56:01,665 [4021] barman.server ERROR: Impossible to start a receive-wal process for server datavarehus4: pg_receivexlog version not compatible with PostgreSQL server version

Hi Alf,

As stated by the error message, you need the PostgreSQL clients from 9.6 version installed on Barman server in order to talk to a 9.6 PostgreSQL server using streaming protocol.

You can find more information on official documentation at http://docs.pgbarman.org/release/2.0/#feature-matrix

Regards,
Marco
