This is Part 3 of the BigAnimal in PostgreSQL series.

👉 Previous: How to Configure BigAnimal

1. To View Cluster details

biganimal cluster show

Purpose:
Displays detailed information about all clusters or a specific cluster running in your EDB BigAnimal environment.

  1. Lists all PostgreSQL clusters you have access to under your BigAnimal account.
  2. Shows summary details like:
  • Cluster ID
  • Name
  • Status (e.g., Running, Provisioning, Stopped)
  • PostgreSQL version
  • Region / Cloud provider
  • High Availability mode (Single, HA, DR)
  • Node size / instance type
  • Number of nodes
  • VPC or Network details
  • Creation time 
ID              NAME          STATUS     VERSION   REGION     HA MODE
p-1234567890    prod-db       running    15.4      aws/us-east-1  HA
p-0987654321    staging-db    stopped    16.2      azure/eastus   Single

You can also add flags such as:
biganimal cluster show --id p-1234567890
to view only one cluster’s details.

2. Displays connection details for a specific PostgreSQL cluster

biganimal cluster show-connection --id p-23456789

  1. The --id option specifies which cluster you want connection details for.
  2. The command shows:
  • Primary endpoint (hostname or IP)
  • Read-only endpoint (for replicas)
  • Port number
  • Database name
  • Usernames (like postgres or biganimal_user)
  • Connection string (URI format) — both psql and pgAdmin compatible
  • SSL mode and certificate details
  • Load balancer endpoint (if HA enabled) 
Cluster ID: p-23456789
Cluster Name: prod-db
Connection Details:
  Hostname: hostname
  Port: 5432
  Database: arcflow
  User: user_name
  SSL Mode: require
  Connection String:
    psql "host=hostname/ip port=5432 dbname=arcflow user=user_name sslmode=require"
