I'm experiencing an issue where the virtual IP address isn't being set on the interface. My setup includes PostgreSQL 17, etcd 3.5.20, and Patroni 3.0.4, but the IP isn't coming up as expected. . The vip-manager logs indicate that the IP is down, and it keeps trying to register it.

Could you please help me troubleshoot this issue?

I assume your settings are wrong. You are using patroni rest api but specified trigger key for etcd dcs type

Accortding to the manual:

Configuration - Patroni REST API

To directly use the Patroni REST API, simply set dcs-type to patroni and trigger-key to /leader. The defaults for dcs-endpoints (http://127.0.0.1:8008) and trigger-value (200) for the Patroni checker should work in most cases.
