Hi there, The pt-table-checksum tool monitors the replica and pauses when the replica falls behind, replication stopped, etc. Looks like the tool is waiting for the test.checksums table to be replicated to a replica. Was there replication error on the slave? Run “SHOW SLAVE STATUS\G” to find that out. Also please check the binlog filter(binlog-do-db, binlog-ignore-db) on the master’s my.cnf file and replication filter(replicate-do-db, replicate-ignore-db, replicate-wild-do-table, replicate-wild-ignore-table) on the slave’s my.cnf file to make sure that replication on test db is properly enabled. Please refer to the documentation for details: [url][http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/replication-rules.html[/url]](http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/replication-rules.html%5B/url%5D)
