Default Parameters for MySQLRpSlavTest

This test auto-discovers the slaves/replica servers that are connected to the target database server and for each slave/replica server, this test reports the current status. Additionally, this test reports the status of the I/O thread executing on each slave. I/O errors and SQL thread errors noticed on the replica servers are also promptly captured and reported. The replication lag duration between the master and the replica servers helps administrators figure out the replica server that is currently out of date. Periodical monitoring of the heartbeats help administrators determine if a replication connection between the master and the replica server is active at all times. With the help of these metrics, administrators can quickly spot anomalies in the replication process and initiate measures to resolve them.
