Check for the latest version of Percona Toolkit, MySQL, and other programs.
|
||||
|
||||
This is a standard "check for updates automatically" feature, with two
|
||||
additional features. First, the tool checks the version of other programs
|
||||
on the local system in addition to its own version. For example, it checks
|
||||
the version of every MySQL server it connects to, Perl, and the Perl module
|
||||
DBD::mysql. Second, it checks for and warns about versions with known
|
||||
problems. For example, MySQL 5.5.25 had a critical bug and was re-released
|
||||
additional features. First, the tool checks its own version and also the
|
||||
versions of the following software: operating system, Percona Monitoring and
|
||||
Management (PMM), MySQL, Perl, MySQL driver for Perl (DBD::mysql), and
|
||||
Percona Toolkit. Second, it checks for and warns about versions with known
|
||||
problems. For example, MySQL 5.5.25 had a critical bug and was re-released
|
||||
as 5.5.25a.
|
||||
|
||||
A secure connection to Percona’s Version Check database server is done to
|
||||
perform these checks. Each request is logged by the server, including software
|
||||
version numbers and unique ID of the checked system. The ID is generated by the
|
||||
Percona Toolkit installation script or when the Version Check database call is
|
||||
done for the first time.
|
||||
|
||||
Any updates or known problems are printed to STDOUT before the tool's normal
|
||||
output. This feature should never interfere with the normal operation of the
|
||||
tool.
