Notify When Streaming Replication Failover Occurred (slave promoted to master).

I need to take actions when Postgres streaming replication failover occurred.  Is there a way to be notified when Postgres slave becomes master?  If no such notification possible, what is the best way to actively monitor which server is master.  My Postgres  is running inside Kubernetes and the HA is managed by Patroni.

 

Thanks!

On the surface this seems like a great idea, however contemplating this a bit more; where would the signal come from ? Currently the only option I can think of is to send a NOTIFY. 
It seems to me that the Patroni code is a better place to do this from.

I agree. That is something Patroni should do, not the database. Maybe
Patroni could be extended to invoke a script after taking some action.

I know of one program (vip_manager) which monitors patroni state and
takes action (enable/disable virtual ip addresses) - that one checks the
distributed database (etcd or whatever) periodically, AFAIK.
