Note

This plugin is part of the community.mysql collection (version 1.2.0).

To install it use: ansible-galaxy collection install community.mysql.

To use it in a playbook, specify: community.mysql.mysql_replication.

Synopsis

  • Manages MySQL server replication, slave, master status, get and change master host.

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

  • PyMySQL (Python 2.7 and Python 3.X), or
  • MySQLdb (Python 2.x)

Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments
ca_cert
path
The path to a Certificate Authority (CA) certificate. This option, if used, must specify the same certificate as used by the server.

aliases: ssl_ca

string
added in 0.1.0 of community.mysql
Name of replication channel.
Multi-source replication is supported from MySQL 5.7.
Mutually exclusive with connection_name.
check_hostname
boolean
added in 1.1.0 of community.mysql
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
Whether to validate the server host name when an SSL connection is required.
Setting this to false disables hostname verification. Use with caution.
Requires pymysql >= 0.7.11.
This optoin has no effect on MySQLdb.
client_cert
path
The path to a client public key certificate.

aliases: ssl_cert
client_key
path
The path to the client private key.

aliases: ssl_key
config_file
path
Default:
"~/.my.cnf"
Specify a config file from which user and password are to be read.

30
The connection timeout when connecting to the MySQL server.
connection_name
string
added in 0.1.0 of community.mysql

Fails on error when calling mysql.
login_host
string
Default:
"localhost"
Host running the database.
In some cases for local connections the login_unix_socket=/path/to/mysqld/socket, that is usually /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock, needs to be used instead of login_host=localhost.
login_password
string
The password used to authenticate with.

The username used to authenticate with.
master_auto_position
boolean
    Choices:
  • no ←
  • yes
Whether the host uses GTID based replication or not.
master_connect_retry
integer
Same as mysql variable.
master_delay
integer
added in 0.1.0 of community.mysql
Time lag behind the master's state (in seconds).
Available from MySQL 5.6.
master_host
string

master_log_file
string
Same as mysql variable.
master_log_pos
integer
Same as mysql variable.

string
added in 0.1.0 of community.mysql
    Choices:
  • current_pos
  • slave_pos
  • disabled
Configures the slave to use the MariaDB Global Transaction ID.
disabled equals MASTER_USE_GTID=no command.
To find information about available values see https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/change-master-to/#master_use_gtid.
Available since MariaDB 10.0.2.
master_user
string
Same as mysql variable.
mode
string
    Choices:
  • changemaster
  • getmaster
  • getslave ←
  • startslave
  • stopslave
  • resetmaster
  • resetslave
  • resetslaveall
Module operating mode. Could be changemaster (CHANGE MASTER TO), getmaster (SHOW MASTER STATUS), getslave (SHOW SLAVE STATUS), startslave (START SLAVE), stopslave (STOP SLAVE), resetmaster (RESET MASTER) - supported since community.mysql 0.1.0, resetslave (RESET SLAVE), resetslaveall (RESET SLAVE ALL).
relay_log_file
string
Same as mysql variable.
relay_log_pos
integer
Same as mysql variable.

Notes

Note

  • If an empty value for the parameter of string type is needed, use an empty string.
  • Requires the PyMySQL (Python 2.7 and Python 3.X) or MySQL-python (Python 2.X) package installed on the remote host. The Python package may be installed with apt-get install python-pymysql (Ubuntu; see ansible.builtin.apt) or yum install python2-PyMySQL (RHEL/CentOS/Fedora; see ansible.builtin.yum). You can also use dnf install python2-PyMySQL for newer versions of Fedora; see ansible.builtin.dnf.
  • Be sure you have PyMySQL or MySQLdb library installed on the target machine for the Python interpreter Ansible uses, for example, if it is Python 3, you must install the library for Python 3. You can also change the interpreter. For more information, see https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/reference_appendices/interpreter_discovery.html.
  • Both login_password and login_user are required when you are passing credentials. If none are present, the module will attempt to read the credentials from ~/.my.cnf, and finally fall back to using the MySQL default login of ‘root’ with no password.
  • If there are problems with local connections, using login_unix_socket=/path/to/mysqld/socket instead of login_host=localhost might help. As an example, the default MariaDB installation of version 10.4 and later uses the unix_socket authentication plugin by default that without using login_unix_socket=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock (the default path) causes the error Host '127.0.0.1' is not allowed to connect to this MariaDB server.
  • Alternatively, you can use the mysqlclient library instead of MySQL-python (MySQLdb) which supports both Python 2.X and Python >=3.5. See https://pypi.org/project/mysqlclient/ how to install it.
