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-restart watches one or more MySQL replication slaves and tries to skip statements that cause errors. It polls slaves intelligently with an exponentially varying sleep time. You can specify errors to skip and run the slaves until a certain binlog position. .PP Although this tool can help a slave advance past errors, you should not rely on it to \*(L"fix\*(R" replication. If slave errors occur frequently or unexpectedly, you should identify and fix the root cause. .SH "OUTPUT" .IX Header "OUTPUT" pt-slave-restart prints a line every time it sees the slave has an error. By default this line is: a timestamp, connection information, relay_log_file, relay_log_pos, and last_errno. You can add more information using the \*(L"\-\-verbose\*(R" option. You can suppress all output using the \*(L"\-\-quiet\*(R" option. .SH "SLEEP" .IX Header "SLEEP" pt-slave-restart sleeps intelligently between polling the slave. The current sleep time varies. .IP "\(bu" 4 The initial sleep time is given by \*(L"\-\-sleep\*(R". .IP "\(bu" 4 If it checks and finds an error, it halves the previous sleep time. .IP "\(bu" 4 If it finds no error, it doubles the previous sleep time. .IP "\(bu" 4 The sleep time is bounded below by \*(L"\-\-min\-sleep\*(R" and above by \&\*(L"\-\-max\-sleep\*(R". .IP "\(bu" 4 Immediately after finding an error, pt-slave-restart assumes another error is very likely to happen next, so it sleeps the current sleep time or the initial sleep time, whichever is less. .SH "GLOBAL TRANSACTION IDS" .IX Header "GLOBAL TRANSACTION IDS" As of Percona Toolkit 2.2.8, pt-slave-restart supports Global Transaction IDs introduced in MySQL 5.6.5. It's important to keep in mind that: .IP "\(bu" 4 pt-slave-restart will not skip transactions when multiple replication threads are being used (slave_parallel_workers > 0). pt-slave-restart does not know what the \s-1GTID\s0 event is of the failed transaction of a specific slave thread. .IP "\(bu" 4 The default behavior is to skip the next transaction from the slave's master. Writes can originate on different servers, each with their own \s-1UUID.\s0 .Sp See \*(L"\-\-master\-uuid\*(R". .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, or of the last forked process that exited if there were multiple servers to monitor. .SH "COMPATIBILITY" .IX Header "COMPATIBILITY" pt-slave-restart should work on many versions of MySQL. Lettercase of many output columns from \s-1SHOW SLAVE STATUS\s0 has changed over time, so it treats them all as lowercase. .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 "\-\-always" 4 .IX Item "--always" Start slaves even when there is no error. With this option enabled, pt-slave-restart will not let you stop the slave manually if you want to! .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 "\-\-[no]check\-relay\-log" 4 .IX Item "--[no]check-relay-log" default: yes .Sp Check the last relay log file and position before checking for slave errors. .Sp By default pt-slave-restart will not doing anything (it will just sleep) if neither the relay log file nor the relay log position have changed since the last check. This prevents infinite loops (i.e. restarting the same error in the same relay log file at the same relay log position). .Sp For certain slave errors, however, this check needs to be disabled by specifying \f(CW\*(C`\-\-no\-check\-relay\-log\*(C'\fR. Do not do this unless you know what you are doing! .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 "\-\-daemonize" 4 .IX Item "--daemonize" Fork to the background and detach from the shell. \s-1POSIX\s0 operating systems only. .IP "\-\-database" 4 .IX Item "--database" short form: \-D; type: string .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 "\-\-error\-length" 4 .IX Item "--error-length" type: int .Sp Max length of error message to print. When \*(L"\-\-verbose\*(R" is set high enough to print the error, this option will truncate the error text to the specified length. This can be useful to prevent wrapping on the terminal. .IP "\-\-error\-numbers" 4 .IX Item "--error-numbers" type: hash .Sp Only restart this comma-separated list of errors. Makes pt-slave-restart only try to restart if the error number is in this comma-separated list of errors. If it sees an error not in the list, it will exit. .Sp The error number is in the \f(CW\*(C`last_errno\*(C'\fR column of \f(CW\*(C`SHOW SLAVE STATUS\*(C'\fR. .IP "\-\-error\-text" 4 .IX Item "--error-text" type: string .Sp Only restart errors that match this pattern. A Perl regular expression against which the error text, if any, is matched. If the error text exists and matches, pt-slave-restart will try to restart the slave. If it exists but doesn't match, pt-slave-restart will exit. .Sp The error text is in the \f(CW\*(C`last_error\*(C'\fR column of \f(CW\*(C`SHOW SLAVE STATUS\*(C'\fR. .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 "\-\-log" 4 .IX Item "--log" type: string .Sp Print all output to this file when daemonized. .IP "\-\-max\-sleep" 4 .IX Item "--max-sleep" type: float; default: 64 .Sp Maximum sleep seconds. .Sp The maximum time pt-slave-restart will sleep before polling the slave again. This is also the time that pt-slave-restart will wait for all other running instances to quit if both \*(L"\-\-stop\*(R" and \*(L"\-\-monitor\*(R" are specified. .Sp See \*(L"\s-1SLEEP\*(R"\s0. .IP "\-\-min\-sleep" 4 .IX Item "--min-sleep" type: float; default: 0.015625 .Sp The minimum time pt-slave-restart will sleep before polling the slave again. See \*(L"\s-1SLEEP\*(R"\s0. .IP "\-\-monitor" 4 .IX Item "--monitor" Whether to monitor the slave (default). Unless you specify \-\-monitor explicitly, \*(L"\-\-stop\*(R" will disable it. .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 "\-\-quiet" 4 .IX Item "--quiet" short form: \-q .Sp Suppresses normal output (disables \*(L"\-\-verbose\*(R"). .IP "\-\-recurse" 4 .IX Item "--recurse" type: int; default: 0 .Sp Watch slaves of the specified server, up to the specified number of servers deep in the hierarchy. The default depth of 0 means \*(L"just watch the slave specified.\*(R" .Sp pt-slave-restart examines \f(CW\*(C`SHOW PROCESSLIST\*(C'\fR and tries to determine which connections are from slaves, then connect to them. See \*(L"\-\-recursion\-method\*(R". .Sp Recursion works by finding all slaves when the program starts, then watching them. If there is more than one slave, \f(CW\*(C`pt\-slave\-restart\*(C'\fR uses \f(CW\*(C`fork()\*(C'\fR to monitor them. .Sp This also works if you have configured your slaves to show up in \f(CW\*(C`SHOW SLAVE HOSTS\*(C'\fR. The minimal configuration for this is the \f(CW\*(C`report_host\*(C'\fR parameter, but there are other \*(L"report\*(R" parameters as well for the port, username, and password. .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-restart 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 "\-\-run\-time" 4 .IX Item "--run-time" type: time .Sp Time to run before exiting. Causes pt-slave-restart to stop after the specified time has elapsed. Optional suffix: s=seconds, m=minutes, h=hours, d=days; if no suffix, s is used. .IP "\-\-sentinel" 4 .IX Item "--sentinel" type: string; default: /tmp/pt\-slave\-restart\-sentinel .Sp Exit if this file exists. .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 "\-\-skip\-count" 4 .IX Item "--skip-count" type: int; default: 1 .Sp Number of statements to skip when restarting the slave. .IP "\-\-master\-uuid" 4 .IX Item "--master-uuid" type: string .Sp When using \s-1GTID,\s0 an empty transaction should be created in order to skip it. If writes are coming from different nodes in the replication tree above, it is not possible to know which event from which \s-1UUID\s0 to skip. .Sp By default, transactions from the slave's master (\f(CW\*(AqMaster_UUID\*(Aq\fR from \&\f(CW\*(C`SHOW SLAVE STATUS\*(C'\fR) are skipped. .Sp For example, with .Sp .Vb 1 \& master1 \-> slave1 \-> slave2 .Ve .Sp When skipping events on slave2 that were written to master1, you must specify the \s-1UUID\s0 of master1, else the tool will use the \s-1UUID\s0 of slave1 by default. .Sp See \*(L"\s-1GLOBAL TRANSACTION IDS\*(R"\s0. .IP "\-\-sleep" 4 .IX Item "--sleep" type: int; default: 1 .Sp Initial sleep seconds between checking the slave. .Sp See \*(L"\s-1SLEEP\*(R"\s0. .IP "\-\-socket" 4 .IX Item "--socket" short form: \-S; type: string .Sp Socket file to use for connection. .IP "\-\-stop" 4 .IX Item "--stop" Stop running instances by creating the sentinel file. .Sp Causes \f(CW\*(C`pt\-slave\-restart\*(C'\fR to create the sentinel file specified by \&\*(L"\-\-sentinel\*(R". This should have the effect of stopping all running instances which are watching the same sentinel file. If \*(L"\-\-monitor\*(R" isn't specified, \f(CW\*(C`pt\-slave\-restart\*(C'\fR will exit after creating the file. If it is specified, \f(CW\*(C`pt\-slave\-restart\*(C'\fR will wait the interval given by \&\*(L"\-\-max\-sleep\*(R", then remove the file and continue working. .Sp You might find this handy to stop cron jobs gracefully if necessary, or to replace one running instance with another. For example, if you want to stop and restart \f(CW\*(C`pt\-slave\-restart\*(C'\fR every hour (just to make sure that it is restarted every hour, in case of a server crash or some other problem), you could use a \f(CW\*(C`crontab\*(C'\fR line like this: .Sp .Vb 1 \& 0 * * * * pt\-slave\-restart \-\-monitor \-\-stop \-\-sentinel /tmp/pt\-slave\-restartup .Ve .Sp The non-default \*(L"\-\-sentinel\*(R" will make sure the hourly \f(CW\*(C`cron\*(C'\fR job stops only instances previously started with the same options (that is, from the same \f(CW\*(C`cron\*(C'\fR job). .Sp See also \*(L"\-\-sentinel\*(R". .IP "\-\-until\-master" 4 .IX Item "--until-master" type: string .Sp Run until this master log file and position. Start the slave, and retry if it fails, until it reaches the given replication coordinates. The coordinates are the logfile and position on the master, given by relay_master_log_file, exec_master_log_pos. The argument must be in the format \*(L"file,pos\*(R". Separate the filename and position with a single comma and no space. .Sp This will also cause an \s-1UNTIL\s0 clause to be given to \s-1START SLAVE.\s0 .Sp After reaching this point, the slave should be stopped and pt-slave-restart will exit. .IP "\-\-until\-relay" 4 .IX Item "--until-relay" type: string .Sp Run until this relay log file and position. Like \*(L"\-\-until\-master\*(R", but in the slave's relay logs instead. The coordinates are given by relay_log_file, relay_log_pos. .IP "\-\-user" 4 .IX Item "--user" short form: \-u; type: string .Sp User for login if not current user. .IP "\-\-verbose" 4 .IX Item "--verbose" short form: \-v; cumulative: yes; default: 1 .Sp Adds more information to the output. This flag can be specified multiple times. e.g. \-v \-v \s-1OR\s0 \-vv. By default (no verbose flag) the tool outputs connection information, a timestamp, relay_log_file, relay_log_pos, and last_errno. One flag (\-v) adds last_error. See also \*(L"\-\-error\-length\*(R". Two flags (\-vv) prints the current sleep time each time pt-slave-restart sleeps. To suppress all output use the \*(L"\-\-quiet\*(R" option. .IP "\-\-version" 4 .IX Item "--version" Show version and exit. .IP "\-\-[no]version\-check" 4 .IX Item "--[no]version-check" default: yes .Sp Check for the latest version of Percona Toolkit, MySQL, and other programs. .Sp This is a standard \*(L"check for updates automatically\*(R" feature, with two additional features. First, the tool checks its own version and also the versions of the following software: operating system, Percona Monitoring and Management (\s-1PMM\s0), MySQL, Perl, MySQL driver for Perl (DBD::mysql), and Percona Toolkit. Second, it checks for and warns about versions with known problems. For example, MySQL 5.5.25 had a critical bug and was re-released as 5.5.25a. .Sp A secure connection to Percona’s Version Check database server is done to perform these checks. Each request is logged by the server, including software version numbers and unique \s-1ID\s0 of the checked system. The \s-1ID\s0 is generated by the Percona Toolkit installation script or when the Version Check database call is done for the first time. .Sp Any updates or known problems are printed to \s-1STDOUT\s0 before the tool's normal output. This feature should never interfere with the normal operation of the tool. .Sp For more information, visit . .PP 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.
