replication-manager is an high availability solution to manage MariaDB 10.x and MySQL / Percona Server 5.7 GTID replication topologies.
Product goals are topology detection and topology monitoring, enable on-demand slave to master promotion (aka switchover), or electing a new master on failure detection (aka failover). It enforces best practices to get at a minimum up to zero loss in most failure cases.

To perform switchover, preserving data consistency, replication-manager uses an improved workflow similar to common MySQL failover tools such as MHA:
- Verify replication settings
- Check (configurable) replication on the slaves
- Check for long running queries and transactions on master
- Elect a new master (default to most up to date, but it could also be a designated candidate)
- Put down the IP address on master by calling an optional script
- Reject writes on master by calling FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK
- Reject writes on master by setting READ_ONLY flag
- Reject writes on master by decreasing MAX_CONNECTIONS
- Kill pending connections on master if any remaining
- Watching for all slaves to catch up to the current GTID position
- Promote the candidate slave to be a new master
- Put up the IP address on new master by calling an optional script
- Switch other slaves and old master to be slaves of the new master and set them read-only
replication-manager is commonly used as an arbitrator and drive a proxy that routes the database traffic to the leader database node (aka the MASTER). We can advise usage of:
- A layer 7 proxy as MariaDB MaxScale that can transparently follow a newly elected topology
- With monitor-less proxies, replication-manager can call scripts that set and reload the new configuration of the leader route. A common scenario is an VRRP Active Passive HAProxy sharing configuration via a network disk with the replication-manager scripts
- Using replication-manager as an API component of a group communication cluster. MRM can be called as a Pacemaker resource that moves alongside a VIP, the monitoring of the cluster is in this case already in charge of the GCC.
Leader Election Cluster is best used in such scenarios:
- Dysfunctional node does not impact leader performance
- Heterogeneous node in configuration and resources does not impact leader performance
- Leader peak performance is not impacted by data replication
- Read scalability does not impact write scalability
- Network interconnect quality fluctuation
- Can benefit of human expertise on false positive failure detection
- Can benefit a minimum cluster size of two data nodes
- Can benefit having different storage engines
This is achieved via the following drawbacks:
- Overloading the leader can lead to data loss during failover or no failover depending of setup
- READ on replica is eventually consistent
- ACID can be preserved via route to leader always
- READ on replica can be COMMITTED READ under usage of the 10.2 semi-sync no slave behind feature
Leader Election Asynchronous Cluster can guarantee continuity of service at no cost for the leader and in some conditions with "No Data Loss", replication-manager will track failover SLA (Service Level Availability).
Because it is not always desirable to perform an automatic failover in an asynchronous cluster, replication-manager enforces some tunable settings to constraint the architecture state in which the failover can happen.
In the field, a regular scenario is to have long periods of time between hardware crashes: what was the state of the replication when crash happens?
We can classify SLA and failover scenario into 3 cases:
- Replica stream in sync
- Replica stream not sync but state allows failover
- Replica stream not sync but state does not allow failover
If the replication can be monitored in sync, the failover can be done without loss of data, provided that replication-manager waits for all replicated events to be applied to the elected replica, before re-opening traffic.
In order to reach this state most of the time, we advise following settings:
The history of MariaDB replication has reached a point where replication can almost in any case catch up with the master. It can be ensured using new features like Group Commit improvement, optimistic in-order parallel replication and semi-synchronous replication.
MariaDB 10.1 settings for in-order optimistic parallel replication:
slave_parallel_mode = optimistic
slave_domain_parallel_threads = %%ENV:CORES%%
slave_parallel_threads = %%ENV:CORES%%
expire_logs_days = 5
sync_binlog = 1
log_slave_updates = ON
Semi-synchronous replication enables to delay transaction commit until the transactional event reaches at least one replica. The "In Sync" status will be lost only when a tunable replication delay is attained. This Sync status is checked by replication-manager to compute the last SLA metrics, the time we may auto-failover without losing data and when we can reintroduce the dead leader without re-provisioning it.
The MariaDB recommended settings for semi-sync are the following:
plugin_load = "semisync_master.so;semisync_slave.so"
rpl_semi_sync_master = ON
rpl_semi_sync_slave = ON
loose_rpl_semi_sync_master_enabled = ON
loose_rpl_semi_sync_slave_enabled = ON
rpl_semi_sync_master_timeout = 10
Such parameters will print an expected warning in error.log on slaves about SemiSyncMaster Status switched OFF.
Important Note: semisync SYNC status does not guarantee that the old leader is replication consistent with the cluster in case of crash [] or shutdown [
] of the master,the failure can leave more data in the binary log but it guarantees that no client applications have seen those pending transactions if they have not touched a replica. This leads to a situation where semisync is used to slowdown the workload to the speed of the network until it reaches a timeout where it is not possible to catch up anymore. A crash or shutdown will lead to the requirement of re-provisioning the old leader from another node in most heavy write scenarios.
Setting rpl_semi_sync_master_wait_point to AFTER_SYNC may limit the number of extra transactions inside the binlog after a crash but those transactions would have been made visible to the clients and may have been lost during failover to an other node. It is highly recommended to keep AFTER_COMMIT to make sure the workload is safer than the state of the old master.
replication-manager can still auto failover when replication is delayed up to a reasonable time, in such case we will possibly lose data, because we are giving to HA a bigger priority compared to the quantity of possible data lost.
This is the second SLA display. This SLA tracks the time we can failover under the conditions that were predefined in the replication-manager parameters, all slave delays not yet exceeded.
Probability to lose data is increased with a single slave topology, when the slave is delayed by a long running transaction or was stopped for maintenance, catching on replication events, with heavy single threaded writes process, network performance can't catch up with the leader performance.
To limit such cases we advise usage of a 3 nodes cluster that removes such scenarios as losing a slave.
The first SLA is the one that tracks the presence of a valid topology from replication-manager, when a leader is reachable but number of possible failovers exceeded, time before next failover not yet reached, no slave available to failover.
This is the opportunity to work on long running WRITE transactions and split them in smaller chunks. Preferably we should minimize time in this state as failover would not be possible without big impact that replication-manager can force in interactive mode.
A good practice is to enable slow query detection on slaves using in slow query log:
log_slow_slave_statements = 1
replication-manager prevents additional writes to set READ_ONLY flag on the old leader, if routers are still sending Write Transactions, they can pile-up until timeout, despite being killed by replication-manager.
Some additional caution to make sure that piled writes do not happen is that replication-manager will decrease max_connections to the server to 1 and consume last possible connection by not killing himself. This works but to avoid a scenario where a node is left in a state where it cannot be connected anymore (crashing replication-manager in this critical section), we advise using extra port provided with MariaDB pool of threads feature:
thread_handling = pool-of-threads
extra_port = 3307
extra_max_connections = 10
Also, to protect consistency it is strongly advised to disable SUPER privilege to users that perform writes, such as the The MaxScale user used with Read-Write split module is instructed to check for replication lag via writing in the leader, privileges should be lower as describe in Maxscale settings
After checking the leader N times (failcount=5), replication-manager default behavior is to send an alert email and put itself in waiting mode until a user completes the failover or master self-heals.This is know as the On-call mode or configured via interactive = true.
When manual failover is triggered, conditions for a possible failover are checked. Per default a slave is available and up and running.
Per default following checks are disabled but are defined in the configuration template and advised to set:
- Exceeding a given replication delay (maxdelay=0)
- Failover did not happen previously in less than a given time interval (failover-time-limit=0)
- Failover limit was not reached (failover-limit=0)
A user can force switchover or failover by ignoring those checks via the (rplchecks=false) flag or via the console "Replication Checks Change" button.
Per default Semi-Sync replication status is not checked during failover, but this check can be enforced with semi- sync replication to enable to preserve OLD LEADER recovery at all costs, and do not failover if none of the slaves are in SYNC status.
- Last semi sync status was SYNC (failsync=false)
A user can change this check based on what is reported by SLA in sync, and decide that most of the time the replication is in sync and when it's not, that the failover should be manual. Via http console, use "Failover Sync" button
Since version 1.1 all replicas and Maxscale can be questioned for consensus detection of leader death:
The default configuration is to check only for replication heartbeat
failover-falsepositive-heartbeat = true
failover-falsepositive-heartbeat-timeout = 3
failover-falsepositive-maxscale = true
failover-falsepositive-maxscale-timeout = 14
It possible to check the death master status via some additional inetd or xinet or any http agent.
failover-falsepositive-external = true
failover-falsepositive-external-port = 80
The agent should return header of style in case he think the master is still alive
HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\n
Content-Type: text/plain\r\n
Connection: close\r\n
Content-Length: 40\r\n
\r\n
Since replication-manager 1.1, rejoin of dead leader has been improved to cover more cases.
MariaDB 10.2 binary package can be colocated with replication-manager via the config option mariadb-binary-path, binaries are used to backup binlogs from remote node via mysqlbinlog --read-from-remote-server into the system tmp directory and possibly to flashback those extra binlogs
Note that the server-id to backup binlog used by replication-manager is 1000 so please don't use it on your cluster nodes
replication-manager gets 4 different cases for rejoin:
-
If GTID of the new leader at time of election is equal to GTID of the joiner, we proceed with rejoin.
-
If GTID is ahead on joiner, we backup extra events, if semisync replication was in sync status, we must do flashback to come back to a physical state that client connections have never seen.
-
If GTID is ahead but semisync replication status at election was desynced, we flashback if replication-manager settings use the rejoin-flashback flag, lost events are saved in a crash directory in the working directory path.
-
If GTID is ahead but semisync replication status at election was desynced, we restore the joiner via mysqldump from the new leader if replication-manager settings use the rejoin-mysqldump flag.
autorejoin = true
autorejoin-semisync = true
autorejoin-flashback = true
autorejoin-mysqldump = false
If none of above method is set or available replication-manager will call external scripts
rejoin-script = ""
It is passing the server to rejoin as first argument and the new topology master.
Replication-Manager can operate with MaxScale in 3 modes,
passive mode MaxScale auto-discovers the new topology after failover or switchover. Replication Manager will set the new master in MaxScale to reduce the time where it might block clients. This setup best works in 3 nodes in Master-Slaves cluster, one slave should always be available for re-discovering new topologies.
Example settings:
[MySQL Monitor]
type=monitor
module=mysqlmon
servers=%%ENV:SERVERS_LIST%%
user=root
passwd=%%ENV:MYROOTPWD%%
monitor_interval=500
detect_stale_master=true
[Write Connection Router]
type=service
router=readconnroute
router_options=master
servers=%%ENV:SERVERS_LIST%%
user=root
passwd=%%ENV:MYROOTPWD%%
enable_root_user=true
In case all slaves are down, MaxScale can still operate on the Master with the following maxscale monitoring setup : https://github.com/mariadb-corporation/MaxScale/blob/2.1/Documentation/Monitors/MySQL-Monitor.md#failover
detect_stale_master
In Maxscale 2.1 Failover to last node have been introduce so that transparent support of 2 nodes cluster is transaparent ![Doc]
detect_stale_slave=true
Use the following example grant for your MaxScale user:
CREATE USER 'maxadmin'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'maxpwd';
GRANT SELECT ON mysql.user TO 'maxadmin'@'%';
GRANT SELECT ON mysql.db TO 'maxadmin'@'%';
GRANT SELECT ON mysql.tables_priv TO 'maxadmin'@'%';
GRANT SHOW DATABASES, REPLICATION CLIENT ON *.* TO 'maxadmin'@'%';
GRANT ALL ON maxscale_schema.* TO 'maxadmin'@'%';
Also, to protect consistency it is strongly advised to disable SUPER privilege to users that perform writes, such as the MaxScale user when the Read-Write split module is instructed to check for replication lag:
[Splitter Service]
type=service
router=readwritesplit
max_slave_replication_lag=30
Operating MaxScale without monitoring is the second Replication-Manager mode via: This mode was introduce in version 1.1 and is control via
maxscale-monitor = false
replication-manager will assign server status flags to the nodes of the cluster via MaxScale admin port. This is a good mode of operation similar to HAProxy, but it can lead to a unusable cluster if replication can't contact the proxy, so it is strongly advised to colocate the 2 services.
Driving replication-manager from Maxscale
In version 1.1 one can see maxscale servers state in a new tab this is done and control via new parameters, default is to use maxadmin tcp row protocol via maxscale-get-info-method = "maxadmin" A more robust configuration can be enable via load ing the maxinfo plugin in maxscale that provide a JSON REST service to replication-manager
maxscale = true
# maxinfo|maxadmin
maxscale-get-info-method = "maxadmin"
maxscale-maxinfo-port = 4002
maxscale-host = "192.168.0.201"
maxscale-port = 4003
All MariaDB Nodes should have same binlog prefix
bin_log='mariadb-bin'
Maxscale settings
router_options=mariadb10-compatibility=1,server-id=999,user=skysql,password=skyvodka,send_slave_heartbeat=on,transaction_safety=on,semisync=1
replication-manager Add the binlog server and port in the list of hosts
force-slave-gtid-mode = false
maxscale-binlog = true
maxscale-binlog-port = 3306
Note that maxscale 2.2 can support MariaDB GTID so force-gtid-mode=false is not needed anymore part of task https://github.com/mariadb-corporation/MaxScale/tree/MXS-1075
transaction_safety=On,mariadb10-compatibility=On,mariadb_gtid=On
Haproxy can be used but only in same server as replication-manager, replication-manager will prepare a configuration file for haproxy for every cluster that it manage, this template is located in the share directory used by replication-manager. For safety haproxy is not stopped when replication-manager is stopped
haproxy = true
haproxy-binary-path = "/usr/sbin/haproxy"
# Read write traffic
# Read only load balance least connection traffic
haproxy-write-port = 3306
haproxy-read-port = 3307
Replication-Manager supports ProxySQL out of the box. As ProxySQL detects topologies based on the state of the read-only flag, it will pick up changes automatically and change hostgroups accordingly.

Run replication-manager in switchover mode with master host db1 and slaves db2 and db3:
replication-manager switchover --hosts=db1,db2,db3 --user=root --rpluser=replicator --interactive
Run replication-manager in non-interactive failover mode, using full host and port syntax, using root login for management and repl login for replication switchover, with failover scripts and added verbosity. Accept a maximum slave delay of 15 seconds before performing switchover:
replication-manager failover --hosts=db1:3306,db2:3306,db2:3306 --user=root:pass --rpluser=repl:pass --pre-failover-script="/usr/local/bin/vipdown.sh" -post-failover-script="/usr/local/bin/vipup.sh" --verbose --maxdelay=15
With some already exiting database nodes but no replication setup replication-manager enable you to init the replication on various topology master-slave | master-slave-no-gtid | maxscale-binlog | multi-master | multi-tier-slave
replication-manager --config-group=cluster_test_3_nodes bootstrap --clean-all --topology="multi-tier-slave"
Start replication-manager in console mode to monitor the cluster:
replication-manager monitor --hosts=db1:3306,db2:3306,db2:3306 --user=root:pass --rpluser=repl:pass
The console mode accepts several commands:
Ctrl-D Print debug information
Ctrl-F Manual Failover
Ctrl-I Toggle automatic/manual failover mode
Ctrl-R Set slaves read-only
Ctrl-S Switchover
Ctrl-Q Quit
Ctrl-W Set slaves read-write
Start replication-manager in background to monitor the cluster, using the http server to control the daemon
replication-manager monitor --hosts=db1:3306,db2:3306,db2:3306 --user=root:pass --rpluser=repl:pass --daemon --http-server
The http server is accessible on http://localhost:10001 by default, and looks like this:
The http dashboard is an experimental angularjs application, please don't use it in production as it has no protected access for now (or use creativity to restrict access to it).
Start replication-manager in automatic daemon mode:
replication-manager monitor --hosts=db1:3306,db2:3306,db2:3306 --user=root:pass --rpluser=repl:pass --daemon --interactive=false
This mode is similar to the normal console mode with the exception of automated master failovers. With this mode, it is possible to run the replication-manager as a daemon process that manages a database cluster. Note that the --interactive=false option is required with the --daemon option to make the failovers automatic. Without it, the daemon only passively monitors the cluster.
All the options above are settable in a configuration file that must be located in /etc/replication-manager/config.toml. Check etc/config.toml.sample in the repository for syntax examples.
It is strongly advice to create a dedicated user for the management user !
Management user (given by the --user option) and Replication user (given by the --repluser option) need to be given privileges to the host from which replication-manager runs. Users with wildcards are accepted as well.
The management user needs at least the following privileges: SUPER, REPLICATION CLIENT and RELOAD
The replication user needs the following privilege: REPLICATION SLAVE
Replication-Manager calls external scripts and provides following parameters in this order: Old leader host and new elected leader.
replication-manager supports 2-node multi-master topology detection. It is required to specify it explicitely in replication-manager configuration, you just need to set one preferred master and one very important parameter in MariaDB configuration file.
read_only = 1
This flag ensures that in case of split brain + leader crash, when old leader is reintroduced it will not show up as a possible leader for WRITES.
MaxScale can follow multi=master setting by tracking the read-only flag and route queries to the writable node.
[Multi-Master Monitor]
type=monitor
module=mmmon
servers=server1,server2,server3
user=myuser
passwd=mypwd
detect_stale_master=true
Replication-Manager have support for replication tree or relay slaves architecture, in case of master death one of the slaves under the relay is promoted as a master.
Add following parameter to your cluster section
multi-tier-slave=true
Since version 1.1 replication can enforce the best practices about the replication usage. It dynamically configure the MariaDB it does monitor. Note that such enforcement will be lost if replication manager monitoring is shutdown and the MariaDB restarted. The command line usage do not enforce but default config file do, so disable what may not be possible in your custom production setup.
force-slave-heartbeat= true
force-slave-heartbeat-retry = 5
force-slave-heartbeat-time = 3
force-slave-gtid-mode = true
force-slave-semisync = true
force-slave-readonly = true
force-binlog-row = true
force-binlog-annotate = true
force-binlog-slowqueries = true
force-inmemory-binlog-cache-size = true
force-disk-relaylog-size-limit = true
force-sync-binlog = true
force-sync-innodb = true
force-binlog-checksum = true
When inside a single zone we would flavor single replication-manager to failover using keepalived or corosync or etcd but if you run on 2 DC it is possible to run two replication-manager in the same infrastructure. Both replication-manager will start pinging each others via the http mode so make sure you activate the web mode of replication-manager
To enable standby replication-manager activate the following setting on both replication-manager
# Enterpise SAS identity
arbitration-external = true
arbitration-external-secret = "1378793252.mariadb.com"
arbitration-external-hosts = "88.191.151.84:80"
arbitration-peer-hosts ="127.0.0.1:10002"
# Unique value on each replication-manager
arbitration-external-unique-id = 0
Give each arbitration-external-unique-id some different value, this define the unique replication-manager instance
Also define one secret arbitration-external-secret it should be unique across all users of replication-manager, it is use to identify your cluster, organization name and random alpha-numeric is very welcome, declare this name to our team. If you wan't to enforce unicity.
Give each instance it's peer replication-manager node
On instance "127.0.0.1:10001" arbitration-peer-hosts ="127.0.0.1:10002"
On instance "127.0.0.1:10002" arbitration-peer-hosts ="127.0.0.1:10001"
Once done start one replication-manager.

What can be observe is the split brain detection. Because your are the first instance to start, the peer replication-manager is not joinable so it ask for an arbitration to arbitration-external-hosts = "88.191.151.84:80", provided to you as a SAS deployment of the arbitrator daemon. The arbitrator will enable that node to enter Active Mode
When you start the peer replication-manager, the split brain is resolve and replication-manager will detect an other active instance is running so it will get the Standby mode
Note that failover in such mode is also requesting an arbitration. If arbitrator can't be contacted, you can come back to normal command line mode to failover but make sure you stopped all other replication-manager running .
It's possible to run a private arbitrator via similar configuration
[arbitrator]
hosts = "192.168.0.201:3306"
user = "user:password"
title = "arbitrator"
[default]
And start it via /usr/bin/replication-manager arbitrator --arbitrator-port=80
replication-manager 1.1 embed a graphite server and can serve as a carbon relay server, some graph are display via the giraffe JS library in the internal http server. One can create it's own dashboard via Grafana.
very few metrics are yet push inside carbon, the metrics are pushed with the server-id prefix name. to get unicity against nodes
Contact the authors for contributions or custom metrics to be added.
A testing framework is available via http or in command line.
Setting the test variable in the predefined testing cluster in config file:

replication-manager is a self-contained binary, which means that no dependencies are needed at the operating system level.
On the MariaDB side, slaves need to use GTID for replication. Old-style positional replication is not supported (yet).
Check https://github.com/tanji/replication-manager/issues for a list of issues.
As of today we build portable binary tarballs, Debian Jessie, Ubuntu, CentOS 6 & 7 packages.
Check https://github.com/tanji/replication-manager/releases for official releases.
