MK-SLAVE-FIND

NAME

mk−slave−find − Find MySQL replication slaves and execute commands on them.

SYNOPSIS

 mk−slave−find

DESCRIPTION

mk-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.

OPTIONS

−−askpass

Prompt for a password for the connection.

−−charset

Enables character set settings in Perl and MySQL. If the value is "utf8", sets Perl’s binmode on STDOUT to utf8, passes the "mysql_enable_utf8" option to DBD::mysql, and runs "SET NAMES UTF8" after connecting to MySQL. Any other value sets binmode on STDOUT without the utf8 layer, and runs "SET NAMES" after connecting to MySQL.

−−database

Database to use.

−−defaults−file

Only read default options from the given file.

−−help

Show a brief help message and exit.

−−host

Connect to host.

−−password

Password to use when connecting.

−−port

Port number to use for connection.

−−print

Print the replication hierarchy as a tree.

−−recurse

Number of levels to recurse in the hierarchy. Default is infinite.

This works by examining the output of "SHOW PROCESSLIST", or "SHOW SLAVE HOSTS" if no slave connections are found.

−−setvars

Specify any variables you want to be set immediately after connecting to MySQL. These will be included in a "SET" command.

−−socket

Socket file to use for connection.

−−user

User for login if not current user.

−−version

Output version information and exit.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

You need Perl, DBI , DBD::mysql, and some core packages that ought to be installed in any reasonably new version of Perl.

EXIT STATUS

Successful exit status is 0. Any other value represents the exit status of the Perl process itself.

ENVIRONMENT

The environment variable "MKDEBUG" enables verbose debugging output in all of the Maatkit tools:

   MKDEBUG=1 mk−....
