6 mk-slave-find - Find and print replication hierarchy tree of MySQL
7 slaves.
8
10 Usage: mk-slave-find [OPTION...] MASTER-HOST
11 mk-slave-find finds and prints a hierarchy tree of MySQL slaves.
13 Examples:
15 mk-slave-find --host master-host

19 The following section is included to inform users about the potential
20 risks, whether known or unknown, of using this tool. The two main
21 categories of risks are those created by the nature of the tool (e.g.
22 read-only tools vs. read-write tools) and those created by bugs.
23 mk-slave-find is read-only and very low-risk.
25 At the time of this release, we know of no bugs that could cause
27 serious harm to users.
28 The authoritative source for updated information is always the online
30 issue tracking system. Issues that affect this tool will be marked as
31 such. You can see a list of such issues at the following URL:
32 <http://www.maatkit.org/bugs/mk-slave-find>.
33 See also "BUGS" for more information on filing bugs and getting help.

37 mk-slave-find connects to a MySQL replication master and finds its
38 slaves. Currently the only thing it can do is print a tree-like view
39 of the replication hierarchy.
40 The master host can be specified using one of two methods. The first
42 method is to use the standard connection-related command line options:
43 "--defaults-file", "--password", "--host", "--port", "--socket" or
44 "--user".
45 The second method to specify the master host is a DSN. A DSN is a
47 special syntax that can be either just a hostname (like
48 "server.domain.com" or 1.2.3.4), or a "key=value,key=value" string.
49 Keys are a single letter:
50 KEY MEANING
52 === =======
53 h Connect to host
54 P Port number to use for connection
55 S Socket file to use for connection
56 u User for login if not current user
57 p Password to use when connecting
58 F Only read default options from the given file
59 "mk-slave-find" reads all normal MySQL option files, such as ~/.my.cnf,
61 so you may not need to specify username, password and other common
62 options at all.
63
65 An exit status of 0 (sometimes also called a return value or return
66 code) indicates success. Any other value represents the exit status of
67 the Perl process itself.
68
70 This tool accepts additional command-line arguments. Refer to the
71 "SYNOPSIS" and usage information for details.
72 --ask-pass
74 Prompt for a password when connecting to MySQL.
75 --charset
77 short form: -A; type: string
78 Default character set. If the value is utf8, sets Perl's binmode
80 on STDOUT to utf8, passes the mysql_enable_utf8 option to
81 DBD::mysql, and runs SET NAMES UTF8 after connecting to MySQL. Any
82 other value sets binmode on STDOUT without the utf8 layer, and runs
83 SET NAMES after connecting to MySQL.
84 --config
86 type: Array
87 Read this comma-separated list of config files; if specified, this
89 must be the first option on the command line.
90 --database
92 type: string; short form: -D
93 Database to use.
95 --defaults-file
97 short form: -F; type: string
98 Only read mysql options from the given file. You must give an
100 absolute pathname.
101 --help
103 Show help and exit.
104 --host
106 short form: -h; type: string
107 Connect to host.
109 --password
111 short form: -p; type: string
112 Password to use when connecting.
114 --pid
116 type: string
117 Create the given PID file. The file contains the process ID of the
119 script. The PID file is removed when the script exits. Before
120 starting, the script checks if the PID file already exists. If it
121 does not, then the script creates and writes its own PID to it. If
122 it does, then the script checks the following: if the file contains
123 a PID and a process is running with that PID, then the script dies;
124 or, if there is no process running with that PID, then the script
125 overwrites the file with its own PID and starts; else, if the file
126 contains no PID, then the script dies.
127 --port
129 short form: -P; type: int
130 Port number to use for connection.
132 --recurse
134 type: int
135 Number of levels to recurse in the hierarchy. Default is infinite.
137 See "--recursion-method".
139 --recursion-method
141 type: string
142 Preferred recursion method used to find slaves.
144 Possible methods are:
146 METHOD USES
148 =========== ================
149 processlist SHOW PROCESSLIST
150 hosts SHOW SLAVE HOSTS
151 The processlist method is preferred because SHOW SLAVE HOSTS is not
153 reliable. However, the hosts method is required if the server uses
154 a non-standard port (not 3306). Usually mk-slave-find does the
155 right thing and finds the slaves, but you may give a preferred
156 method and it will be used first. If it doesn't find any slaves,
157 the other methods will be tried.
158 --report-format
160 type: string; default: summary
161 Set what information about the slaves is printed. The report
163 format can be one of the following:
164 · hostname
166 Print just the hostname name of the slaves. It looks like:
168 127.0.0.1:12345
170 +- 127.0.0.1:12346
171 +- 127.0.0.1:12347
172 · summary
174 Print a summary of each slave's settings. This report shows
176 more information about each slave, like:
177 127.0.0.1:12345
179 Version 5.1.34-log
180 Server ID 12345
181 Uptime 04:56 (started 2010-06-17T11:21:22)
182 Replication Is not a slave, has 1 slaves connected
183 Filters
184 Binary logging STATEMENT
185 Slave status
186 Slave mode STRICT
187 Auto-increment increment 1, offset 1
188 +- 127.0.0.1:12346

190 Server ID 12346
191 Uptime 04:54 (started 2010-06-17T11:21:24)
192 Replication Is a slave, has 1 slaves connected
193 Filters
194 Binary logging STATEMENT
195 Slave status 0 seconds behind, running, no errors
196 Slave mode STRICT
197 Auto-increment increment 1, offset 1
198 --set-vars
200 type: string; default: wait_timeout=10000
201 Set these MySQL variables. Immediately after connecting to MySQL,
203 this string will be appended to SET and executed.
204 --socket
206 short form: -S; type: string
207 Socket file to use for connection.
209 --user
211 short form: -u; type: string
212 User for login if not current user.
214 --version
216 Show version and exit.
217
219 These DSN options are used to create a DSN. Each option is given like
220 "option=value". The options are case-sensitive, so P and p are not the
221 same option. There cannot be whitespace before or after the "=" and if
222 the value contains whitespace it must be quoted. DSN options are
223 comma-separated. See the maatkit manpage for full details.
224 · A
226 dsn: charset; copy: yes
228 Default character set.
230 · D
232 dsn: database; copy: yes
234 Default database.
236 · F
238 dsn: mysql_read_default_file; copy: yes
240 Only read default options from the given file
242 · h
244 dsn: host; copy: yes
246 Connect to host.
248 · p
250 dsn: password; copy: yes
252 Password to use when connecting.
254 · P
256 dsn: port; copy: yes
258 Port number to use for connection.
260 · S
262 dsn: mysql_socket; copy: yes
264 Socket file to use for connection.
266 · u
268 dsn: user; copy: yes
270 User for login if not current user.

274 You can download Maatkit from Google Code at
275 <http://code.google.com/p/maatkit/>, or you can get any of the tools
276 easily with a command like the following:
277 wget http://www.maatkit.org/get/toolname
279 or
280 wget http://www.maatkit.org/trunk/toolname
281 Where "toolname" can be replaced with the name (or fragment of a name)
283 of any of the Maatkit tools. Once downloaded, they're ready to run; no
284 installation is needed. The first URL gets the latest released version
285 of the tool, and the second gets the latest trunk code from Subversion.
286
288 The environment variable "MKDEBUG" enables verbose debugging output in
289 all of the Maatkit tools:
290 MKDEBUG=1 mk-....
292
294 You need Perl, DBI, DBD::mysql, and some core packages that ought to be
295 installed in any reasonably new version of Perl.
296

300 Please use Google Code Issues and Groups to report bugs or request
302 support: <http://code.google.com/p/maatkit/>. You can also join
303 #maatkit on Freenode to discuss Maatkit.
304 Please include the complete command-line used to reproduce the problem
306 you are seeing, the version of all MySQL servers involved, the complete
307 output of the tool when run with "--version", and if possible,
308 debugging output produced by running with the "MKDEBUG=1" environment
309 variable.
