Hello,

This is a beta version of a replication diff tool written in python.

Design page (this needs updating - I hope to get that done tonight)

http://www.port389.org/docs/389ds/design/repl-diff-tool-design.html

Current usage:

-v, --verbose Verbose output -o FILE, --outfile=FILE The output file -D BINDDN, --binddn=BINDDN The Bind DN (REQUIRED) -w BINDPW, --bindpw=BINDPW The Bind password (REQUIRED) -h MHOST, --master_host=MHOST The Master host (default localhost) -p MPORT, --master_port=MPORT The Master port (default 389) -H RHOST, --replica_host=RHOST The Replica host (REQUIRED) -P RPORT, --replica_port=RPORT The Replica port (REQUIRED) -b SUFFIX, --basedn=SUFFIX Replicated suffix (REQUIRED) -l LAG, --lagtime=LAG The amount of time to ignore inconsistencies (default 300 seconds) -Z CERTDIR, --certdir=CERTDIR The certificate database directory for startTLS connections -i IGNORE, --ignore=IGNORE Comma separated list of attributes to ignore -M MLDIF, --mldif=MLDIF Master LDIF file (offline mode) -R RLDIF, --rldif=RLDIF Replica LDIF file (offline mode)


Examples:

python repl-diff.py -D "cn=directory manager" -w PASSWORD -h localhost -p 389 -H remotehost -P 5555 -b "dc=example,dc=com"
python repl-diff.py -D "cn=directory manager" -w PASSWORD -h localhost -p 389 -H remotehost -P 5555 -b "dc=example,dc=com" -Z /etc/dirsrv/slapd-localhost
python repl-diff.py -M /tmp/master.ldif -R /tmp/replica.ldif

How long the tool takes to run depends on the number of entries per database. See performance numbers below

Entries per Replica Time

---------------------------------
100k                    40 seconds
500k                    3m 30secs
1 million               7m 30secs
2 million               14 minutes
10 million              ~70 minutes

I'd be very interested in feedback, RFE's, and bugs.

Thanks,
Mark
