NAME

MySQLReplicationServer.pl - Serves local binlog queries to replication clients

SYNOPSIS

MySQLReplicationServer.pl
  --binlog <name:index>
  --binlog <name:index:serverid>
  --binlog <name:index:serverid:binlogsize>
  --port   <port>

OPTIONS

MySQLReplicationServer.pl is based on Net::Server, which has a wide range of configuation options. See Net::Server for more information.

By default, logging is via syslog using the 'daemon' facility (/var/log/messages).

binlog (mandatory)

Specifies where binlogs can be found. There are two formats:

  • name:index

    This specifies the name of the binlog and the path to the binlog index. All queries will be replicated.

  • name:index:serverid

    Like above, but only queries with the specified server-id will be replicated.

  • name:index:serverid:binlogsize

    Like above, but specifies the size of the binlogs (default 100M). This is used for instrumentation purposes (see Instrumentation for more info)

e.g.:

--binlog bigdata:/mnt/bitstorage/mysql-bin.index
--binlog sensitive:/mnt/securestorage/mysql-bin.index:16

Here all queries from the bigdata binlog will be served, but only queries logged with server-id 16 from the sensitive binlog will be served.

This option can be used multiple times to specify multiple binlogs.

port (default 2603)

The port to listen on for replication consumers.
