##### Add a failed master back into the cluster as a standby node
Once `repmgrd` and PostgreSQL are runnning, the node will need to follow the new
as a standby node.
```
gitlab-ctl repmgr standby follow NEW_MASTER
```
Once the node is following the new master as a standby, the node needs to be
[unregistered from the cluster on the new master node](#remove-a-standby-from-the-cluster).
Once the old master node has been unregistered from the cluster, it will need
to be setup as a new standby:
```
gitlab-ctl repmgr standby setup NEW_MASTER
```
Failure to unregister and readd the old master node can lead to subsequent failovers
not working.
