Naming mysql slave server

Question

MySQL

In the output of the " show slave hosts; " command, there is a host column , where the server name should logically be. However, the CHANGE MASTER TO documentation doesn't say anything about how to name the slave when connecting to the master. Actually the question is how to assign names to different slaves in order to distinguish them by verbal description, and not by ID. Thanks in advance.

+-----------+------+------+-----------+
| Server_id | Host | Port | Master_id |
+-----------+------+------+-----------+

Answer 1

this is done on the slave started with the parameter for --report-host=host_name
sure in the my.cnf config of the slave, you can also specify it as a variable. read here
