Percona Toolkit 2.2.2 released; bug fixes include pt-heartbeat & pt-archiver
During the Percona Live MySQL Conference & Expo 2013 the week before last, we quietly released Percona Toolkit 2.2.2 with a few bug fixes:
- pt-archiver –bulk-insert may corrupt data
- pt-heartbeat –utc –check always returns 0
- pt-query-digest 2.2 prints unwanted debug info on tcpdump parsing errors
- pt-query-digest 2.2 prints too many string values
- Some tools don’t have –help or –version
- Some tools use @@hostname without /*!50038*/
- pt-stalk prints the wrong variable name in verbose mode when –function is used
- And more
The first two bugs are important. Those using pt-archiver –bulk-insert with UTF-8 data should definitely upgrade. Those using pt-heartbeat –utc should also definitely upgrade.
Users may note the revival of the –show-all option in pt-query-digest. This had been removed in 2.2.1, but resulted in too much output in certain cases.
A new –recursion-method was added to pt-table-checksum: cluster. This method attempts to auto-discover cluster nodes, alleviating the need to specify cluster node DSNs in a DSN table (–recursion-method=dsn).
See https://launchpad.net/percona-toolkit/+milestone/2.2.2 for the full list of bugs fixed in Percona Toolkit 2.2.2.

hello,
currently using 2.2.2 and
mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.5.30, for Linux (x86_64) using readline 5.1
i am getting this since the upgrade of percona this week:
pt-heartbeat -F/etc/my.cnf -Dpt_heartbeat –check
The –master-server-id option must be specified because the heartbeat table
pt_heartbeat.heartbeatuses the server_id column for –update or –check but the server’s master could not be automatically determined.Please read the DESCRIPTION section of the pt-heartbeat POD.
any ideas why this could be happening?
how does the master’s auto detection takes place?
TIA
don’t know what went wrong since i upgraded
Actually PTDEBUG=1 did the trick 😉 it was an encoding issue on the table.
