mysql_replication_monitor

---

Utility to check the replication status between MySQL master and slave dbs set up to replicate to each other

All that is needed is to specify the two dbs by their Rails database config (environment) names (e.g. ‘staging_master’, ‘staging_slave’ or whatever).

Examples

---

# specify both master and slave db configs
monitor = MysqlReplicationMonitor.new(:master => 'master', :slave => 'slave)

# default slave to the current environment
monitor = MysqlReplicationMonitor.new(:master => 'master')

# override the default time to cache the statuses (in seconds)
monitor = MysqlReplicationMonitor.new(:master => 'master', :slave => 'slave,
                                     :refresh_time => 10)

# override the default database config file (not recommended)
monitor = MysqlReplicationMonitor.new(:master => 'master', :slave => 'slave,
                                     :db_config_file => 'foofile.txt')
