mysqlrplshow \- Show Slaves for Master Server
.SH "SYNOPSIS"

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
This utility shows the replication slaves for a master\&. It prints a graph of the master and its slaves labeling each with the host name and port number\&.
.PP
You must specify the
\fB\-\-discover\-slaves\-login \fR
option to provide the user name and password to discover any slaves in the topology\&.
.PP
To explore the slaves for each client, use the
\fB\-\-recurse\fR
option\&. This causes the utility to connect to each slave found and attempt to determine whether it has any slaves\&. If slaves are found, the process continues until the slave is found in the list of servers serving as masters (a circular topology)\&. The graph displays the topology with successive indents\&. A notation is made for circular topologies\&.
.PP
If you use the
\fB\-\-recurse\fR
option, the utility attempts to connect to the slaves using the user name and password provided for the master\&. By default, if the connection attempt fails, the utility throws an error and stops\&. To change this behavior, use the
\fB\-\-prompt\fR
option, which permits the utility to prompt for the user name and password for each slave that fails to connect\&. You can also use the
\fB\-\-num\-retries=n\fR
option to reattempt a failed connection \*(Aqn\*(Aq times before the utility fails\&.
.PP
An example graph for a typical topology with relay slaves is shown here:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
# Replication Topology Graph::
localhost:3311 (MASTER)
   |
   +\-\-\- localhost:3310 \- (SLAVE)
   |
   +\-\-\- localhost:3312 \- (SLAVE + MASTER)
       |
       +\-\-\- localhost:3313 \- (SLAVE)
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.PP
MASTER,
SLAVE, and
SLAVE+MASTER
indicate that a server is a master only, slave only, and both slave and master, respectively\&.
.PP
A circular replication topology is shown like this, where
<\-\->
indicates circularity:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
# Replication Topology Graph
localhost:3311 (MASTER)
   |
   +\-\-\- localhost:3312 \- (SLAVE + MASTER)
       |
       +\-\-\- localhost:3313 \- (SLAVE + MASTER)
           |
           +\-\-\- localhost:3311 <\-\-> (SLAVE)
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.PP
To produce a column list in addition to the graph, specify the
\fB\-\-show\-list\fR
option\&. In this case, to specify how to display the list, use one of the following values with the
\fB\-\-format\fR
option:
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
\fBgrid\fR
(default)
.sp
Display output in grid or table format like that of the
\fBmysql\fR
monitor\&.
.RE
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
\fBcsv\fR
.sp
Display output in comma\-separated values format\&.
.RE
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
\fBtab\fR
.sp
Display output in tab\-separated format\&.
.RE
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
\fBvertical\fR
.sp
Display output in single\-column format like that of the
\eG
command for the
\fBmysql\fR
monitor\&.
.RE
.PP
The utility uses of the
\fBSHOW SLAVE HOSTS\fR
statement to determine which slaves the master has\&. If you want to use the
\fB\-\-recurse\fR
option, slaves should have been started with the
\-\-report\-host
and
\-\-report\-port
options set to their actual host name and port number or the utility may not be able to connect to the slaves to determine their own slaves\&.
      OPTIONS
.PP
\fBmysqlrplshow\fR
accepts the following command\-line options:
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
\-\-help
.sp

.RE
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\

.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
\-\-discover\-slaves\-login=<slave\-login>
.sp
Supply the user and password in the form <user>[:<passwd>] or <login\-path> for discovering slaves and relay slaves in the topology\&. For example, \-\-discover=joe:secret will use \*(Aqjoe\*(Aq as the user and \*(Aqsecret\*(Aq as the password for each discovered slave\&.
.RE
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
\-\-format=<format>, \-f<format>
.sp
Specify the display format for column list output\&. Permitted format values are
\fBgrid\fR,
\fBcsv\fR,
\fBtab\fR, and
\fBvertical\fR\&. The default is
\fBgrid\fR\&. This option applies only if
\fB\-\-show\-list\fR
is given\&.
.RE
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
\-\-master=<source>
.sp
Connection information for the master server in the format: <\fIuser\fR>[:<\fIpasswd\fR>]@<\fIhost\fR>[:<\fIport\fR>][:<\fIsocket\fR>] or <\fIlogin\-path\fR>[:<\fIport\fR>][:<\fIsocket\fR>]\&.
.RE
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
\-\-max\-depth=<N>
.sp
The maximum recursion depth\&. This option is valid only if
\fB\-\-recurse\fR
is given\&.
.RE
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
\-\-num\-retries=<num_retries>, \-n<num_retries>
.sp
The number of retries permitted for failed slave login attempts\&. This option is valid only if
\fB\-\-prompt\fR
is given\&.
.RE
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
\-\-prompt, \-p
.sp
Prompt for the slave user and password if different from the master user and password\&.
.sp
If you give this option, the utility sets
\fB\-\-num\-retries\fR
to 1 if that option is not set explicitly\&. This ensures at least one attempt to retry and prompt for the user name and password should a connection fail\&.
.RE
.sp
.RS 4

\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3

\-\-verbose, \-v
.sp
Specify how much information to display\&. If this option is used, the IO thread status of each slave is also displayed\&. Use this option multiple times to increase the amount of information\&. For example,
\fB\-v\fR
= verbose,
\fB\-vv\fR
= more verbose,
\fB\-vvv\fR
= debug\&. If you use \-vvv, the output will contain the state of the IO and SQL threads for each slave\&.

Display version information and exit\&.
.RE
      NOTES
.PP
The login user must have the
\fBREPLICATE SLAVE\fR
and
\fBREPLICATE CLIENT\fR
privileges to successfully execute this utility\&. Specifically, the login user must have appropriate permissions to execute
\fBSHOW SLAVE STATUS\fR,
\fBSHOW MASTER STATUS\fR, and
\fBSHOW SLAVE HOSTS\fR\&.
.PP
For the
\fB\-\-format\fR
option, the permitted values are not case sensitive\&. In addition, values may be specified as any unambiguous prefix of a valid value\&. For example,
\fB\-\-format=g\fR
specifies the grid format\&. An error occurs if a prefix matches more than one valid value\&.
.PP
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\&.
.PP
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\&.
.PP
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)\&.
      EXAMPLES
.PP
To show the slaves for a master running on port 3311 on the local host, use the following command:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
$ mysqlrplshow  \-\-master=root@localhost:3311 \-\-discover\-slaves\-login=root
# master on localhost: \&.\&.\&. connected\&.
# Finding slaves for master: localhost:3311
# Replication Topology Graph
localhost:3311 (MASTER)
   |
   +\-\-\- localhost:3310 \- (SLAVE)
   |
   +\-\-\- localhost:3312 \- (SLAVE)
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.PP
As shown in the example, you must provide valid login information for the master\&.
.PP
To show additional information about the IO thread status (to confirm if the slaves are really connected to the master) use the option
\fB\-\-verbose\fR:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
$ mysqlrplshow  \-\-master=root@localhost:3311 \-\-discover\-slaves\-login=root \-\-verbose
# master on localhost: \&.\&.\&. connected\&.
# Finding slaves for master: localhost:3311
# Replication Topology Graph
localhost:3311 (MASTER)
   |
   +\-\-\- localhost:3310 [IO: Yes, SQL: Yes] \- (SLAVE)
   |
   +\-\-\- localhost:3312 [IO: Yes, SQL: Yes] \- (SLAVE)
.fi
.if n \{\
