Update status on slaves
In the Master Settings Summary and Slave Settings Summary table area, you can verify/update
added slaves by clicking Update Status. A status dialog runs and afterwards informs you of the status
of your slave server(s).
If you select Pre version 8.0 slaves, it is not possible to update slave status on any slaves and
Update Status is therefore disabled. In the Slave Settings Summary table, slave status on all slaves
is Not applicable.
If you do not select Pre version 8.0 slaves, slave status for pre version 8.0 slaves is Unreachable.
Slave status for 8.0 slaves and beyond reflects the actual status.
