What is this?

• Most MySQL heartbeat implementations require an external script or daemon process. I would rather avoid that if possible. As such, this is a pure MySQL implementation.
• Tested on Percona Server 5.7, however should work with any MySQL variant down to at least 5.6.

How do I use it?

• The only prerequisite is that you have the MySQL event scheduler enabled.
• You may consider modifying object names or set the replicate-wild-ignore-table param to %.%_norep
  • If %_norep tables are ignored be sure to create those objects on the slave side.
