NAME
       mysqlrplshow - Show Slaves for Master Server

SYNOPSIS
       mysqlrplshow [options]

DESCRIPTION
       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.

       You must specify the --discover-slaves-login option to provide the user
       name and password to discover any slaves in the topology.

       To explore the slaves for each client, use the --recurse 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.

       If you use the --recurse 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 --prompt 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 --num-retries=n
       option to reattempt a failed connection 'n' times before the utility
       fails.

       An example graph for a typical topology with relay slaves is shown
       here:

           # Replication Topology Graph::
           localhost:3311 (MASTER)
              |
              +--- localhost:3310 - (SLAVE)
              |
              +--- localhost:3312 - (SLAVE + MASTER)
                  |
                  +--- localhost:3313 - (SLAVE)

       MASTER, SLAVE, and SLAVE+MASTER indicate that a server is a master
       only, slave only, and both slave and master, respectively.

       A circular replication topology is shown like this, where <-->
       indicates circularity:

           # Replication Topology Graph
           localhost:3311 (MASTER)
              |
              +--- localhost:3312 - (SLAVE + MASTER)
                  |
                  +--- localhost:3313 - (SLAVE + MASTER)
                      |
                      +--- localhost:3311 <--> (SLAVE)

       To produce a column list in addition to the graph, specify the
       --show-list option. In this case, to specify how to display the list,
       use one of the following values with the --format option:

       o   grid (default)

           Display output in grid or table format like that of the mysql
           client command-line tool.

       o   csv

           Display output in comma-separated values format.

       o   tab

           Display output in tab-separated format.

       o   vertical

           Display output in single-column format like that of the \G command
           for the mysql client command-line tool.

       The utility uses of the SHOW SLAVE HOSTS statement to determine which
       slaves the master has. If you want to use the --recurse 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 mysqlrplshow accepts the following command-line options:

       o   --help

           Display a help message and exit.

       o   --license

           Display license information and exit.

       o   --discover-slaves-login=<slave-login>

           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 'joe' as the
           user and 'secret' as the password for each discovered slave.

       o   --format=<format>, -f<format>

           Specify the display format for column list output. Permitted format
           values are grid, csv, tab, and vertical. The default is grid. This
           option applies only if --show-list is given.

       o   --master=<source>

           Connection information for the master server.

           To connect to a server, it is necessary to specify connection
           parameters such as user name, host name, password, and either a
           port or socket. MySQL Utilities provides a number of ways to
           provide 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.

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

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

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


       o   --max-depth=<N>

           The maximum recursion depth. This option is valid only if --recurse
           is given.

       o   --num-retries=<num_retries>, -n<num_retries>

           The number of retries permitted for failed slave login attempts.
           This option is valid only if --prompt is given.

       o   --prompt, -p

           Prompt for the slave user and password if different from the master
           user and password.

           If you give this option, the utility sets --num-retries 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.

       o   --quiet, -q

           Turn off all messages for quiet execution. This option does not
           suppress errors or warnings.

       o   --recurse, -r

           Traverse the list of slaves to find additional master/slave
           connections. User this option to map a replication topology.

       o   --show-list, -l

           Display a column list of the topology.

       o   --ssl-ca

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

       o   --ssl-cert

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

       o   --ssl-cert

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

       o   --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).

       o   --verbose, -v

           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, -v = verbose, -vv = more verbose, -vvv = debug. If you use
           -vvv, the output will contain the state of the IO and SQL threads
           for each slave.

       o   --version

           Display version information and exit.
       NOTES.PP The login user must have the REPLICATE SLAVE and REPLICATE
       CLIENT privileges to successfully execute this utility. Specifically,
       the login user must have appropriate permissions to execute SHOW SLAVE
       STATUS, SHOW MASTER STATUS, and SHOW SLAVE HOSTS.

       For the --format option, the permitted values are not case sensitive.
       In addition, values may be specified as any unambiguous prefix of a
       valid value. For example, --format=g specifies the grid format. An
       error occurs if a prefix matches more than one valid value.

       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.

       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:

           shell> 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)

       As shown in the example, you must provide valid login information for
       the master.

       To show additional information about the IO thread status (to confirm
       if the slaves are really connected to the master) use the option
       --verbose:

           shell> 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)

       To show the full replication topology of a master running on the local
       host, use the following command:

           shell> mysqlrplshow  --master=root@localhost:3311 --recurse --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 + MASTER)
                  |
                  +--- localhost:3313 - (SLAVE)

       To show the full replication topology of a master running on the local
       host, prompting for the user name and password for slaves that do not
       have the same user name and password credentials as the master, use the
       following command:

           shell> mysqlrplshow --recurse --prompt --num-retries=1 \
                     --master=root@localhost:3331 --discover-slaves-login=root
           Server localhost:3331 is running on localhost.
           # master on localhost: ... connected.
           # Finding slaves for master: localhost:3331
           Server localhost:3332 is running on localhost.
           # master on localhost: ... FAILED.
           Connection to localhost:3332 has failed.
           Please enter the following information to connect to this server.
           User name: root
           Password:
           # master on localhost: ... connected.
           # Finding slaves for master: localhost:3332
           Server localhost:3333 is running on localhost.
           # master on localhost: ... FAILED.
           Connection to localhost:3333 has failed.

           # Replication Topology Graph
           localhost:3331 (MASTER)
              |
              +--- localhost:3332 - (SLAVE)
              |
              +--- localhost:3333 - (SLAVE + MASTER)
                  |
                  +--- localhost:3334 - (SLAVE)

       PERMISSIONS REQUIRED.PP The user connected to the master must have the
       REPLICATION SLAVE privilege.

       The user specified with the --discover-slaves-login option that logs
       into each slave must have the REPLICATION CLIENT privilege.
