gpstate utility provides the status of each individual component of a Greenplum Database system, including primary segments,mirror segments, master, and standby master. using $gpstate -e command you can find the state of the greenplum database system.

COMMAND NAME: gpstate
Shows the status of a running Greenplum Database system.
*****************************************************
SYNOPSIS
*****************************************************
gpstate [-d <master_data_directory>] [-B <parallel_processes>]
[-s | -b | -Q | -e] [-m | -c] [-p] [-i] [-f]
[-v | -q] [-l <log_directory>]
gpstate -? | -h | --help
*****************************************************
DESCRIPTION
*****************************************************
The gpstate utility displays information about a running Greenplum Database instance. There is additional information you may want to know about a Greenplum Database system, since it is comprised of multiple PostgreSQL database instances (segments) spanning multiple machines. The gpstate utility provides
additional status information for a Greenplum Database system, such as:
* Which segments are down.
* Master and segment configuration information (hosts, data directories, etc.).
* The ports used by the system.
* A mapping of primary segments to their corresponding mirror segments.
*****************************************************
OPTIONS
*****************************************************
-b (brief status)
Optional. Display a brief summary of the state of the Greenplum Database system. This is the default option.
-B <parallel_processes>
The number of segments to check in parallel. If not specified, the utility will start up to 60 parallel processes depending on how many segment instances it needs to check.
-c (show primary to mirror mappings)
Optional. Display mapping of primary segments to their corresponding mirror segments.
-d <master_data_directory>
Optional. The master data directory. If not specified, the value set for $MASTER_DATA_DIRECTORY will be used.
-e (show segments with mirror status issues)
Show details on primary/mirror segment pairs that have potential issues such as 1) the active segment is running in change tracking mode, meaning a segment is down 2) the active segment is in resynchronization mode, meaning it is catching up changes to the mirror 3) a segment is not in its preferred role, for example a segment that was a primary at system initialization time is now acting as a mirror, meaning you may have one or more segment hosts with unbalanced processing load.
-f (show standby master details)
Display details of the standby master host if configured.
-i (show Greenplum Database version)
Display the Greenplum Database software version information for each instance.
-l <logfile_directory>
The directory to write the log file. Defaults to ~/gpAdminLogs.
-m (list mirrors)
Optional. List the mirror segment instances in the system, their current role, and synchronization status.
-p (show ports)
List the port numbers used throughout the Greenplum Database system.
-q (no screen output)
Optional. Run in quiet mode. Except for warning messages, command output is not displayed on the screen. However, this information is still written to the log file.
-Q (quick status)
Optional. Checks segment status in the system catalog on the master host. Does not poll the segments for status.
-s (detailed status)
Optional. Displays detailed status information for the Greenplum Database system.
-v (verbose output)
Optional. Displays error messages and outputs detailed status and progress information.
-? | -h | --help (help)
Displays the online help.

OUTPUT DEFINITIONS FOR DETAIL VIEW
*****************************************************
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
MASTER OUTPUT DATA
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
* Master host - host name of the master
* Master postgres process ID - PID of the master postgres database listener process
* Master data directory - file system location of the master data directory
* Master port - port of the master database listener process
* Master current role - dispatch = regular operating mode utility = maintenance mode
* Greenplum array configuration type - Standard = one NIC per host Multi-Home = multiple NICs per host
* Greenplum initsystem version - version of Greenplum Database when system was first initialized
* Greenplum current version - current version of Greenplum Database
* Postgres version - version of PostgreSQL that Greenplum Database is based on
* Greenplum mirroring status - physical mirroring, SAN or none
* Master standby - host name of the standby master
* Standby master state - status of the standby master: active or passive
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
SEGMENT OUTPUT DATA
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
* Hostname - system-configured host name
* Address - network address host name (NIC name)
* Datadir - file system location of segment data directory
* Port - port number of segment postgres database listener process
* Current Role - current role of a segment: Mirror or Primary
* Preferred Role - role at system initialization time: Mirror or Primary
* Mirror Status - status of a primary/mirror segment pair:
Synchronized = data is up to date on both
Resynchronizing = data is currently being copied from one to the other
Change Tracking = segment down and active segment is logging changes
* Change tracking data size - when in Change Tracking mode, the size of the change log file (may grow and shrink as compression is applied)
* Estimated total data to synchronize - when in Resynchronization mode, the estimated size of data left to syncronize
* Data synchronized - when in Resynchronization mode, the estimated size of data that has already been syncronized
* Estimated resync progress with mirror - when in Resynchronization mode, the estimated percentage of completion
* Estimated resync end time - when in Resynchronization mode, the estimated time to complete
* File postmaster.pid - status of postmaster.pid lock file: Found or Missing
* PID from postmaster.pid file - PID found in the postmaster.pid file
* Lock files in /tmp - a segment port lock file for its postgres process is created in /tmp (file is removed when a segment shuts down)
* Active PID - active process ID of a segment
* Master reports status as - segment status as reported in the system catalog: Up or Down
Database status - status of Greenplum Database to incoming requests: Up, Down, or Suspended. A Suspended state means database activity is temporarily paused while a segment transitions from one state to another.
