pt-table-checksum usage instructions

[Ishvar B]

Hi All,

I am new to percona and want to use pt-table-checksum to check differences between my master mysql database and backup mysql database. I want the pt-table-checksum to show errors if there are difference between these two and not to make any other changes. Also, i want to be as minimalistic as possible while my objective is to solely report the difference between the master and the backup.

Also, the backup is in a docker container so doesn’t want to hardcode or make things hairy.

can someone give me the syntax on how to do this? i am looking for instructions on how to give username,password and hostname for both the master and the backup mysql databases.

Thanks
Eswar
