[Feature Request] Support for using include directive in postgresql.conf

[cleonn]

Postgres has the directive 'include' to include other files with configuration.

We've confirmed with support that if you add the 'include' directive to a postgresql.conf, Veeam fails to read the configuration file and you will see the following in the VeeamPostgres.log-file:

WARN|Failed to read PostgreSql configuration from file "/var/opt/gitlab/postgresql/data/postgresql.conf".

It would be good if Veeam could support opening the include files and adding the configuration in these to the process.

We have tested this on multiple RHEL 8.7 and RHEL 9 servers.

Hello,
and welcome to the forums.

Can you please post the support case number? That sounds more like a bug than a feature request.

And just to be clear: we talk about Veeam Agent for Linux and not VMware / Hyper-V Linux VMs with application aware image processing?

Best regards,
Hannes

Hello,
I tested with Backup & Replication V12 and Veeam Agent for Linux V6 and it works fine in both cases. If anyone else sees issues, please check with support.

Best regards,
Hannes

Hello,

today we did a restore of a Postgresql 16 instance and after the restore the include was commented out - should this still happen? Why does that happen at all (V12.3)?

Hello Markus,

Can you share the case number please?

[mkretzer]

I have not yet opened a case as i was not sure if its "supported" (documentation states that includes are not) - but then i found this thread...
Edit: i just saw this is the Agent forum - it happened for B&R with a snapshot backup. But explorer should still be the same...

You are correct; it is not supported as described in the User Guide.
