mysql_replication_status

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

status = MysqlReplicationStatus.new(:master => 'master', :slave => 'slave)

default slave to the current environment

status = MysqlReplicationStatus.new(:master => 'master')

override the default time to cache the statuses (in seconds)

status = MysqlReplicationStatus.new(:master => 'master', :slave => 'slave, :refresh_time => 10)

override the default database config file (not recommended)

status = MysqlReplicationStatus.new(:master => 'master', :slave => 'slave, :db_config_file => 'foofile.txt')
