Symptomen

After upgrade from 4.6 to 4.8 the below alerts is triggered and is not cleared by acknowledging the alert 

INVALID_POSTGRES_INSTANCE_ROLE

Oorzaak

these are stale alerts from the old CrunchyData PGO database instances (postgres-ha-cmo1-*) that were replaced by CloudNativePG (postgres-ha-cnpg-*) during the 4.8 upgrade.

The old pods and PVCs are gone, the new CNPG cluster is healthy, but the health monitoring configmap still references the old instances, which is why the alerts keep re-firing. 

Oplossing

  1. Check DB health State 
    delladmin@mvm1:~>kubectl get pods -n powerflex | grep post
