MYSQLRPLSYNC

NAME

mysqlrplsync − Replication synchronization checker

SYNOPSIS

mysqlrplsync [options]

DESCRIPTION

This utility permits you to check replication servers for synchronization of replicated events. The utility permits users to check data consistency between a master and slaves or between two slaves. The utility reports missing objects as well as missing data. The utility can also be used to synchronize the replicated data on the servers.

The utility can operate on an active replication topology applying a synchronization process to check the data. Those servers where replication is not active can still be checked but the synchronization process will be skipped. In that case, it is up to the user to manually synchronize the servers.

The user must provide connection parameters for the servers. That is, the utility requires the master and slaves using the −−master and −−slaves options. To compare only slaves, the user need only provide the −−slaves option.

The utility also provides a feature to discover slaves connected to the master using the −−discover−slaves−login and −−master options. To use the discover slaves feature, all slaves must use the following startup options; −−report−host and −−report−port to specify the correct hostname and port of the server. If these are missing or report the incorrect information, the slave may not be discovered and therefore not included in the synchronization check. The discover slaves feature ignores slaves that cannot be reached.

By default, all data is included in the comparison. To check specific databases or tables, list each element as a separated argument for the utility using fully qualified names. The user can also choose to exclude some databases or tables from the check using the −−exclude option.

The utility also provides some important features that allow users to adjust the execution of the consistency check to their system. For example, the user may wish the utility to minimize execution of the synchronization process. To do so, the user uses the −−rpl−timeout to define the maximum time for each slave to synchronize. More specifically, allow slaves to catch up with the master in order to compare the data. During this waiting step, the slaves status is periodically polled according to a predefined time interval. This polling interval to verify if the slaves are synced can be adjusted with the −−interval option. A checksum query is used to compare the data of each table between servers. The checksum calculation step is skipped if its execution exceeds a predefined time, avoiding undesirable performance impacts on the target system if it takes too long to execute. The user can change the checksum timeout using the −−checksum−timeout option.

Users can also use the −−verbose option to see additional information when the utility executes.

This utility is designed to work exclusively for servers that support global transaction identifiers (GTIDs) and have gtid_mode=ON. Servers with GTID disabled will be skipped by the utility. See Replication with Global Transaction Identifiers [1] , for more information about GTID.

The utility takes into consideration the use of replication filtering rules on the servers skipping the check for filtered databases and tables according to the defined options. Nevertheless, the use of replication filters can still lead to data consistency issues depending on how statements are evaluated. See How Servers Evaluate Replication Filtering Rules [2] , for more information. OPTIONS.PP mysqlrplsync accepts the following command−line options:

• −−help

Display a help message and exit.

• −−license

Display license information and exit.

• −−checksum−timeout=<checksum_timeout_in_seconds>

Maximum timeout in seconds to wait for the checksum query to complete.

Default = 3 seconds.

• −−discover−slaves−login=<user_login>

Detect registered slaves at startup and use the user name and password specified to connect in the format: <user> [:<password>] or <login−path>. For example, −−discover−slaves−login=joe:secret will use 'joe' as the user and 'secret' as the password for each discovered slave.

• −−exclude=<databases_tables_to_exclude>

Fully qualified name for the databases or tables to exclude: <db_name> [.<tbl_name>]. List multiple data objects in a comma−separated list.

• −−interval=<interval_in_seconds>, −i <interval_in_seconds>

Interval in seconds for periodically polling the slaves sync status to verify if the sync point was reached.

Default = 3 seconds.

• −−master=<master_connection>

Connection information for the master server.

To connect to a server, it is necessary to specify connection parameters such as the user name, host name, password, and either a port or socket. MySQL Utilities provides a number of ways to supply this information. All of the methods require specifying your choice via a command−line option such as −−server, −−master, −−slave, etc. The methods include the following in order of most secure to least secure.

• Use login−paths from your .mylogin.cnf file (encrypted, not visible). Example : <login−path>[:<port>][:<socket>]

• Use a configuration file (unencrypted, not visible) Note: available in release−1.5.0. Example : <configuration−file−path>[:<section>]

• Specify the data on the command−line (unencrypted, visible). Example : <user>[:<passwd>]@<host>[:<port>][:<socket>]

• −−rpl−timeout=<rpl_timeout_in_seconds>

Maximum timeout in seconds to wait for synchronization. More precisely, the time to wait for the replication process on a slave to reach a sync point (GTID set).

Default = 300 seconds.

• −−slaves=<slaves_connections>

Connection information for slave servers . List multiple slaves in comma−separated list.

• Specify the data on the command−line (unencrypted, visible). Example : <user>[:<passwd>]@<host>[:<port>][:<socket>]

• −−ssl−ca

The path to a file that contains a list of trusted SSL CAs.

• −−ssl−cert

The name of the SSL certificate file to use for establishing a secure connection.

• −−ssl−cert

The name of the SSL key file to use for establishing a secure connection.

• −−ssl

Specifies if the server connection requires use of SSL. If an encrypted connection cannot be established, the connection attempt fails. Default setting is 0 (SSL not required).

• −−verbose, −v

Specify how much information to display. Use this option multiple times to increase the amount of information. For example, −v = verbose, −vv = more verbose, −vvv = debug.

• −−version

Display version information and exit.

NOTES.PP The data consistency check is performed per table using a checksum on the table. If the calculated checksum differs, it indicates the tables are not synchronized. Nevertheless, since the checksum operation is not collision free, there is a very small probability that two tables with differing data can produce the same checksum.

Mixing IP and hostnames is not recommended. The replication−specific utilities will attempt to compare hostnames and IP addresses as aliases for checking slave connectivity to the master. However, if your installation does not support reverse name lookup, the comparison could fail. Without the ability to do a reverse name lookup, the replication utilities could report a false negative that the slave is (not) connected to the master.

For example, if you setup replication using MASTER_HOST=ubuntu.net on the slave and later connect to the slave with mysqlrplcheck and have the master specified as −−master=192.168.0.6 using the valid IP address for ubuntu.net, you must have the ability to do a reverse name lookup to compare the IP (192.168.0.6) and the hostname (ubuntu.net) to determine if they are the same machine.

Similarly, in order to avoid issues mixing local IP '127.0.0.1' with 'localhost', all the addresses '127.0.0.1' will be internally converted to 'localhost' by the utility.

The path to the MySQL client tools should be included in the PATH environment variable in order to use the authentication mechanism with login−paths. This will allow the utility to use the my_print_defaults tools which is required to read the login−path values from the login configuration file (.mylogin.cnf). LIMITATIONS.PP This utility is designed to work exclusively for servers that support global transaction identifiers (GTIDs) and have gtid_mode=ON. Due to known server issues with some operations required for the synchronization process, only MySQL Server versions 5.6.14 and higher are supported by this utility.

Some replication filtering options are not supported by this utility due to known issues on the server side, namely: replicate_do_db, replicate_ignore_db, and replicate_wild_do_table. In case a non supported replication filtering option is detected on a server, the utility issues an appropriate error and exits. This check is performed at the beginning when the utility starts.
