I want to check the consistency of a Galera Cluster, but when I run pt-table-checksum I get errors like: Fatal error checksumming table test.member: I need a master\_status argument at /usr/bin/pt-table-checksum line 5500. How to prevent this error? Can I just ignore it, or are the consistency results now invalid? $ PTDEBUG=1 pt-table-checksum --recursion-method dsn=h=127.0.0.1,D=percona,t=dsns --ask-pass --ignore-databases=mysql,percona Debian GNU/Linux 9.4 (stretch) mariadb-server 10.1.26-0+deb9u1 galera-3 25.3.19-2 percona-toolkit 3.0.12-1.stretch I’ve attached the debug log. Thanks, Mark [pt-checksum-log.txt](https://forums.percona.com/uploads/short-url/o1UzUyKne2cMbT6MqenUZjhOFJq.txt) (90.1 KB) ---
