oak-get-slave-lag

NAME

oak-get-slave-lag: print slave replication lag and terminate with respective exit code.

SYNOPSIS

Print slave lag, return 0 exit code:
oak-get-slave-lag --user=root --socket=/tmp/mysql.sock
Print slave lag, return 1 exit code if slave lag is greater than 60 seconds or slave is not replicating at all. Return 0 exit code when slave replicates and lag is less than or equal to 60 seconds.
oak-get-slave-lag --user=root --socket=/tmp/mysql.sock -e 60
Same as above, use defaults file:
oak-get-slave-lag --defaults-file=/home/myuser/.my-oak.cnf -e 60

DESCRIPTION

This tools prints out the slave lag and produces either 0 exit code on success or 1 on failure

When the --error-if-more-than-seconds option (-e short form) is specified, oak-get-slave-lag expects replication lag to be smaller than or equal to given value. If replication lags more than given number of seconds, or does not work at all, the tool exits with 1 exit code. Otherwise the tool is satisfied and returns with 0 exit code.

Replication lag is deduced from the Seconds_Behind_Master value on SHOW SLAVE STATUS. Mind that this value is not always correct. Unless replication heartbeat is present (MySQL >= 5.5), SHOW SLAVE STATUS may report a 0 lag when in fact it lags hours behind, for a limited period of time.

-e ERROR_IF_MORE_THAN_SECONDS, --error-if-more-than-seconds=ERROR_IF_MORE_THAN_SECONDS
