NAME

       pt-slave-find - Find and print replication hierarchy tree of MySQL slaves.

SYNOPSIS

       Usage: pt-slave-find [OPTIONS] [DSN]

       pt-slave-find finds and prints a hierarchy tree of MySQL slaves.

       Examples:

          pt-slave-find --host master-host

RISKS

       Percona Toolkit is mature, proven in the real world, and well tested, but all database
       tools can pose a risk to the system and the database server.  Before using this tool,
       please:

       •   Read the tool's documentation

       •   Review the tool's known "BUGS"

       •   Test the tool on a non-production server

       •   Backup your production server and verify the backups

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.

       The master host can be specified using one of two methods.  The first method is to use the
       standard connection-related command line options: "--defaults-file", "--password",
       "--host", "--port", "--socket" or "--user".

       The second method to specify the master host is a DSN.  A DSN is a special syntax that can
       be either just a hostname (like "server.domain.com" or 1.2.3.4), or a
       "key=value,key=value" string. Keys are a single letter:

          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

       "pt-slave-find" 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.

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.

OPTIONS

       This tool accepts additional command-line arguments.  Refer to the "SYNOPSIS" and usage
       information for details.

       --ask-pass
           Prompt for a password when connecting to MySQL.

       --charset
           short form: -A; type: string

           Default character set.  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.

       --config
           type: Array

           Read this comma-separated list of config files; if specified, this must be the first
           option on the command line.

       --database
           type: string; short form: -D

           Database to use.

       --defaults-file
           short form: -F; type: string

           Only read mysql options from the given file.  You must give an absolute pathname.

       --help
           Show help and exit.

       --host
           short form: -h; type: string

           Connect to host.

       --password
           short form: -p; type: string

           Password to use when connecting.  If password contains commas they must be escaped
           with a backslash: "exam\,ple"

       --pid
           type: string

           Create the given PID file.  The tool won't start if the PID file already exists and
           the PID it contains is different than the current PID.  However, if the PID file
           exists and the PID it contains is no longer running, the tool will overwrite the PID
           file with the current PID.  The PID file is removed automatically when the tool exits.

       --port
           short form: -P; type: int

           Port number to use for connection.

       --recurse
           type: int

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

           See "--recursion-method".

       --recursion-method
           type: array; default: processlist,hosts

           Preferred recursion method used to find slaves.

           Possible methods are:

             METHOD       USES
             ===========  ==================
             processlist  SHOW PROCESSLIST
             hosts        SHOW SLAVE HOSTS
             none         Do not find slaves

           The processlist method is preferred because SHOW SLAVE HOSTS 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.

       --report-format
           type: string; default: summary

           Set what information about the slaves is printed.  The report format can be one of the
           following:

           •   hostname

               Print just the hostname name of the slaves.  It looks like:

                 127.0.0.1:12345
                 +- 127.0.0.1:12346
                    +- 127.0.0.1:12347

           •   summary

               Print a summary of each slave's settings.  This report shows more information
               about each slave, like:

                 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

       --resolve-address
           Resolve ip-address to hostname. Report will print both IP and hostname.

           Example:

              10.10.7.14 (dbase1.sample.net)

           Might delay runtime a few seconds.

       --set-vars
           type: Array

           Set the MySQL variables in this comma-separated list of "variable=value" pairs.

           By default, the tool sets:

              wait_timeout=10000

           Variables specified on the command line override these defaults.  For example,
           specifying "--set-vars wait_timeout=500" overrides the defaultvalue of 10000.

           The tool prints a warning and continues if a variable cannot be set.

       --socket
           short form: -S; type: string

           Socket file to use for connection.

       --user
           short form: -u; type: string

           User for login if not current user.

       --version
           Show version and exit.

DSN OPTIONS

       These DSN options are used to create a DSN.  Each option is given like "option=value".
       The options are case-sensitive, so P and p are not the same option.  There cannot be
       whitespace before or after the "=" and if the value contains whitespace it must be quoted.
       DSN options are comma-separated.  See the percona-toolkit manpage for full details.

       •   A

           dsn: charset; copy: yes

           Default character set.

       •   D

           dsn: database; copy: yes

           Default database.

       •   F

           dsn: mysql_read_default_file; copy: yes

           Only read default options from the given file

       •   h

           dsn: host; copy: yes

           Connect to host.

       •   p

           dsn: password; copy: yes

           Password to use when connecting.  If password contains commas they must be escaped
           with a backslash: "exam\,ple"

       •   P

           dsn: port; copy: yes

           Port number to use for connection.

       •   S

           dsn: mysql_socket; copy: yes

           Socket file to use for connection.

       •   u

           dsn: user; copy: yes

           User for login if not current user.

ENVIRONMENT

       The environment variable "PTDEBUG" enables verbose debugging output to STDERR.  To enable
       debugging and capture all output to a file, run the tool like:

          PTDEBUG=1 pt-slave-find ... > FILE 2>&1

       Be careful: debugging output is voluminous and can generate several megabytes of output.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

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