Before using this tool, please: .IP "\(bu" 4 Read the tool's documentation .IP "\(bu" 4 Review the tool's known \*(L"\s-1BUGS\*(R"\s0 .IP "\(bu" 4 Test the tool on a non-production server .IP "\(bu" 4 Backup your production server and verify the backups .SH "DESCRIPTION" .IX Header "DESCRIPTION" pt-slave-find connects to a MySQL replication master and finds its slaves. Currently the only thing it can do is print a tree-like view of the replication hierarchy. .PP The master host can be specified using one of two methods. The first method is to use the standard connection-related command line options: \&\*(L"\-\-defaults\-file\*(R", \*(L"\-\-password\*(R", \*(L"\-\-host\*(R", \*(L"\-\-port\*(R", \*(L"\-\-socket\*(R" or \*(L"\-\-user\*(R". .PP The second method to specify the master host is a \s-1DSN.\s0 A \s-1DSN\s0 is a special syntax that can be either just a hostname (like \f(CW\*(C`server.domain.com\*(C'\fR or \&\f(CW1.2.3.4\fR), or a \f(CW\*(C`key=value,key=value\*(C'\fR string. Keys are a single letter: .PP .Vb 8 \& KEY MEANING \& === ======= \& h Connect to host \& P Port number to use for connection \& S Socket file to use for connection \& u User for login if not current user \& p Password to use when connecting \& F Only read default options from the given file .Ve .PP \&\f(CW\*(C`pt\-slave\-find\*(C'\fR reads all normal MySQL option files, such as ~/.my.cnf, so you may not need to specify username, password and other common options at all. .SH "EXIT STATUS" .IX Header "EXIT STATUS" An exit status of 0 (sometimes also called a return value or return code) indicates success. Any other value represents the exit status of the Perl process itself. .SH "OPTIONS" .IX Header "OPTIONS" This tool accepts additional command-line arguments. Refer to the \&\*(L"\s-1SYNOPSIS\*(R"\s0 and usage information for details. .IP "\-\-ask\-pass" 4 .IX Item "--ask-pass" Prompt for a password when connecting to MySQL. .IP "\-\-charset" 4 .IX Item "--charset" short form: \-A; type: string .Sp Default character set. If the value is utf8, sets Perl's binmode on \&\s-1STDOUT\s0 to utf8, passes the mysql_enable_utf8 option to DBD::mysql, and runs \s-1SET NAMES UTF8\s0 after connecting to MySQL. Any other value sets binmode on \s-1STDOUT\s0 without the utf8 layer, and runs \s-1SET NAMES\s0 after connecting to MySQL. .IP "\-\-config" 4 .IX Item "--config" type: Array .Sp Read this comma-separated list of config files; if specified, this must be the first option on the command line. .IP "\-\-database" 4 .IX Item "--database" type: string; short form: \-D .Sp Database to use. .IP "\-\-defaults\-file" 4 .IX Item "--defaults-file" short form: \-F; type: string .Sp Only read mysql options from the given file. You must give an absolute pathname. .IP "\-\-help" 4 .IX Item "--help" Show help and exit. .IP "\-\-host" 4 .IX Item "--host" short form: \-h; type: string .Sp Connect to host. .IP "\-\-password" 4 .IX Item "--password" short form: \-p; type: string .Sp Password to use when connecting. If password contains commas they must be escaped with a backslash: \*(L"exam\e,ple\*(R" .IP "\-\-pid" 4 .IX Item "--pid" type: string .Sp Create the given \s-1PID\s0 file. The tool won't start if the \s-1PID\s0 file already exists and the \s-1PID\s0 it contains is different than the current \s-1PID.\s0 However, if the \s-1PID\s0 file exists and the \s-1PID\s0 it contains is no longer running, the tool will overwrite the \s-1PID\s0 file with the current \s-1PID.\s0 The \s-1PID\s0 file is removed automatically when the tool exits. .IP "\-\-port" 4 .IX Item "--port" short form: \-P; type: int .Sp Port number to use for connection. .IP "\-\-recurse" 4 .IX Item "--recurse" type: int .Sp Number of levels to recurse in the hierarchy. Default is infinite. .Sp See \*(L"\-\-recursion\-method\*(R". .IP "\-\-recursion\-method" 4 .IX Item "--recursion-method" type: array; default: processlist,hosts .Sp Preferred recursion method used to find slaves. .Sp Possible methods are: .Sp .Vb 5 \& METHOD USES \& =========== ================== \& processlist SHOW PROCESSLIST \& hosts SHOW SLAVE HOSTS \& none Do not find slaves .Ve .Sp The processlist method is preferred because \s-1SHOW SLAVE HOSTS\s0 is not reliable. However, the hosts method is required if the server uses a non-standard port (not 3306). Usually pt-slave-find does the right thing and finds the slaves, but you may give a preferred method and it will be used first. If it doesn't find any slaves, the other methods will be tried. .IP "\-\-report\-format" 4 .IX Item "--report-format" type: string; default: summary .Sp Set what information about the slaves is printed. The report format can be one of the following: .RS 4 .IP "\(bu" 4 hostname .Sp Print just the hostname name of the slaves. It looks like: .Sp .Vb 3 \& 127.0.0.1:12345 \& +\- 127.0.0.1:12346 \& +\- 127.0.0.1:12347 .Ve .IP "\(bu" 4 summary .Sp Print a summary of each slave's settings. This report shows more information about each slave, like: .Sp .Vb 10 \& 127.0.0.1:12345 \& Version 5.1.34\-log \& Server ID 12345 \& Uptime 04:56 (started 2010\-06\-17T11:21:22) \& Replication Is not a slave, has 1 slaves connected \& Filters \& Binary logging STATEMENT \& Slave status \& Slave mode STRICT \& Auto\-increment increment 1, offset 1 \& +\- 127.0.0.1:12346 \& Version 5.1.34\-log \& Server ID 12346 \& Uptime 04:54 (started 2010\-06\-17T11:21:24) \& Replication Is a slave, has 1 slaves connected \& Filters \& Binary logging STATEMENT \& Slave status 0 seconds behind, running, no errors \& Slave mode STRICT \& Auto\-increment increment 1, offset 1 .Ve .RE .RS 4 .RE .IP "\-\-resolve\-address" 4 .IX Item "--resolve-address" Resolve ip-address to hostname. Report will print both \s-1IP\s0 and hostname. .Sp Example: .Sp .Vb 1 \& 10.10.7.14 (dbase1.sample.net) .Ve .Sp Might delay runtime a few seconds. .IP "\-\-slave\-user" 4 .IX Item "--slave-user" type: string .Sp Sets the user to be used to connect to the slaves. This parameter allows you to have a different user with less privileges on the slaves but that user must exist on all slaves. .IP "\-\-slave\-password" 4 .IX Item "--slave-password" type: string .Sp Sets the password to be used to connect to the slaves. It can be used with \-\-slave\-user and the password for the user must be the same on all slaves. .IP "\-\-set\-vars" 4 .IX Item "--set-vars" type: Array .Sp Set the MySQL variables in this comma-separated list of \f(CW\*(C`variable=value\*(C'\fR pairs. .Sp By default, the tool sets: .Sp .Vb 1 \& wait_timeout=10000 .Ve .Sp Variables specified on the command line override these defaults. For example, specifying \f(CW\*(C`\-\-set\-vars wait_timeout=500\*(C'\fR overrides the defaultvalue of \f(CW10000\fR. .Sp The tool prints a warning and continues if a variable cannot be set. .IP "\-\-socket" 4 .IX Item "--socket" short form: \-S; type: string .Sp Socket file to use for connection. .IP "\-\-user" 4 .IX Item "--user" short form: \-u; type: string .Sp User for login if not current user. .IP "\-\-version" 4 .IX Item "--version" Show version and exit. .SH "DSN OPTIONS" .IX Header "DSN OPTIONS" These \s-1DSN\s0 options are used to create a \s-1DSN.\s0 Each option is given like \&\f(CW\*(C`option=value\*(C'\fR. The options are case-sensitive, so P and p are not the same option. There cannot be whitespace before or after the \f(CW\*(C`=\*(C'\fR and if the value contains whitespace it must be quoted. \s-1DSN\s0 options are comma-separated. See the percona-toolkit manpage for full details. .IP "\(bu" 4 A .Sp dsn: charset; copy: yes .Sp Default character set. .IP "\(bu" 4 D .Sp dsn: database; copy: yes .Sp Default database. .IP "\(bu" 4 F .Sp dsn: mysql_read_default_file; copy: yes .Sp Only read default options from the given file .IP "\(bu" 4 h .Sp dsn: host; copy: yes .Sp Connect to host. .IP "\(bu" 4 p .Sp dsn: password; copy: yes .Sp Password to use when connecting.
