The following list shows the most common states you see in the State
column for a replication I/O (receiver) thread on a replica server. This state also appears in the Replica_IO_State
column displayed by SHOW REPLICA STATUS
, so you can get a good view of what is happening by using that statement.
In MySQL 8.0, incompatible changes were made to instrumentation names. Monitoring tools that work with these instrumentation names might be impacted. If the incompatible changes have an impact for you, set the terminology_use_previous
system variable to BEFORE_8_0_26
to make MySQL Server use the old versions of the names for the objects specified in the previous list. This enables monitoring tools that rely on the old names to continue working until they can be updated to use the new names.
Set the terminology_use_previous
system variable with session scope to support individual functions, or global scope to be a default for all new sessions. When global scope is used, the slow query log contains the old versions of the names.
-
A state that occurs very briefly, after the connection to the source is established.
-
The thread is attempting to connect to the source.
-
Queueing master event to the relay log
Queueing source event to the relay log
The thread has read an event and is copying it to the relay log so that the SQL thread can process it.
-
Reconnecting after a failed binlog dump request
The thread is trying to reconnect to the source.
-
Reconnecting after a failed master event read
Reconnecting after a failed source event read
The thread is trying to reconnect to the source. When connection is established again, the state becomes
Waiting for master to send event
. -
A state that occurs very briefly after the connection to the source is established.
-
A state that occurs very briefly, after the connection to the source is established. The thread sends to the source a request for the contents of its binary logs, starting from the requested binary log file name and position.
-
Waiting for its turn to commit
A state that occurs when the replica thread is waiting for older worker threads to commit if
replica_preserve_commit_order
is enabled. -
Waiting for master to send event
Waiting for source to send event
The thread has connected to the source and is waiting for binary log events to arrive. This can last for a long time if the source is idle. If the wait lasts for
replica_net_timeout
seconds, a timeout occurs. At that point, the thread considers the connection to be broken and makes an attempt to reconnect. -
The initial state before
Connecting to master
orConnecting to source
. -
Waiting for slave mutex on exit
Waiting for replica mutex on exit
A state that occurs briefly as the thread is stopping.
-
Waiting for the slave SQL thread to free enough relay log space
Waiting for the replica SQL thread to free enough relay log space
You are using a nonzero
relay_log_space_limit
value, and the relay logs have grown large enough that their combined size exceeds this value. The I/O (receiver) thread is waiting until the SQL (applier) thread frees enough space by processing relay log contents so that it can delete some relay log files. -
Waiting to reconnect after a failed binlog dump request
If the binary log dump request failed (due to disconnection), the thread goes into this state while it sleeps, then tries to reconnect periodically. The interval between retries can be specified using the
CHANGE REPLICATION SOURCE TO
. -
Waiting to reconnect after a failed master event read
Waiting to reconnect after a failed source event read
An error occurred while reading (due to disconnection). The thread is sleeping for the number of seconds set by the
CHANGE REPLICATION SOURCE TO
statement before attempting to reconnect.
