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 Perconas 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.
