25.11.11.1 The replication_connection_configuration Table

This table shows the configuration parameters used by the slave server for connecting to the master server. Parameters stored in the table can be changed at runtime with the CHANGE MASTER TO statement, as indicated in the column descriptions.

Compared to the replication_connection_status table, replication_connection_configuration changes less frequently. It contains values that define how the slave connects to the master and that remain constant during the connection, whereas replication_connection_status contains values that change during the connection.

The replication_connection_configuration table has these columns:

• CHANNEL_NAME

  The replication channel which this row is displaying. There is always a default replication channel, and more replication channels can be added. See Section 16.2.3, “Replication Channels” for more information.

• HOST

  The master host that the slave is connected to. (CHANGE MASTER TO option: MASTER_HOST)

• PORT

  The port used to connect to the master. (CHANGE MASTER TO option: MASTER_PORT)

• USER

  The user name of the account used to connect to the master. (CHANGE MASTER TO option: MASTER_USER)

• NETWORK_INTERFACE

  The network interface that the slave is bound to, if any. (CHANGE MASTER TO option: MASTER_BIND)

• AUTO_POSITION

  1 if autopositioning is in use; otherwise 0. (CHANGE MASTER TO option: MASTER_AUTO_POSITION)

• SSL_ALLOWED, SSL_CA_FILE, SSL_CA_PATH, SSL_CERTIFICATE, SSL_CIPHER, SSL_KEY, SSL_VERIFY_SERVER_CERTIFICATE, SSL_CRL_FILE, SSL_CRL_PATH

  These columns show the SSL parameters used by the slave to connect to the master, if any.

  SSL_ALLOWED has these values:

  • Yes if an SSL connection to the master is permitted

  • No if an SSL connection to the master is not permitted

  • Ignored if an SSL connection is permitted but the slave server does not have SSL support enabled

  CHANGE MASTER TO options for the other SSL columns: MASTER_SSL_CA, MASTER_SSL_CAPATH, MASTER_SSL_CERT, MASTER_SSL_CIPHER, MASTER_SSL_CRL, MASTER_SSL_CRLPATH, MASTER_SSL_KEY, MASTER_SSL_VERIFY_SERVER_CERT.

• CONNECTION_RETRY_INTERVAL

  The number of seconds between connect retries. (CHANGE MASTER TO option: MASTER_CONNECT_RETRY)

• CONNECTION_RETRY_COUNT

  The number of times the slave can attempt to reconnect to the master in the event of a lost connection. (CHANGE MASTER TO option: MASTER_RETRY_COUNT)

• HEARTBEAT_INTERVAL

  The replication heartbeat interval on a slave, measured in seconds.

TRUNCATE TABLE is not permitted for the replication_connection_configuration table.
