    BARMAN_HOST SERVER_NAME WAL_NAME WAL_DEST

DESCRIPTION

This script serves as a restore_command for Postgres servers, enabling the retrieval of WAL files through Barman's get-wal feature. It establishes an SSH connection to the Barman host and facilitates the integration of Barman within Postgres clusters, enhancing business continuity.

Exit Statuses are:

0 for SUCCESS.
1 for remote get-wal command FAILURE, likely because the requested WAL could not be found.
2 for ssh connection FAILURE.
Any other non-zero for FAILURE.

PARAMETERS

SERVER_NAME: The server name configured in Barman for the Postgres server from which the WAL file is retrieved.
BARMAN_HOST: The host of the Barman server.
WAL_NAME: The value of the '%f' keyword (according to restore_command).
WAL_DEST: The value of the '%p' keyword (according to restore_command).
-h / --help: Display a help message and exit.
-V / --version: Display the program's version number and exit.
-U / --user: Specify the user for the SSH connection to the Barman server (defaults to barman).
--port: Define the port used for the SSH connection to the Barman server.
-s / --sleep: Pause for SECONDS after a failed get-wal request (defaults to 0 - no wait).
-p / --parallel: Indicate the number of files to peek and transfer simultaneously (defaults to 0 - disabled).
--spool-dir: Specify the spool directory for WAL files (defaults to /var/tmp/walrestore).
-P / --partial: Include partial WAL files (.partial) in the retrieval.
-z / --gzip: Transfer WAL files compressed with gzip.
-j / --bzip2: Transfer WAL files compressed with bzip2.
--keep-compression: If specified, compressed files will be trasnfered as-is and decompressed on arrival on the client-side.
-c / --config: Specify the configuration file on the Barman server.
-t / --test: Test the connection and configuration of the specified Postgres server in Barman to ensure it is ready to receive WAL files. This option ignores the mandatory arguments WAL_NAME and WAL_DEST.

WARNING:

-z / --gzip and -j / --bzip2 options are deprecated and will be removed in the future. For WAL compression, please make sure to enable it directly on the Barman server via the compression configuration option.
