Checking MySQL replication

Checking replication delay

Look for the two system user accounts in the processlist. One is the control process, the other is the SQL worker process. The Time: field of the SQL worker process is the difference between the local system clock and the timestamp of the replication log entry that it is processing. If the clocks are synchronized, this is the replication delay in seconds.
