The drizzleadmin command line client is the primary program for connecting to and manipulating a Drizzle database with an administrative user rights.
The drizzleadmin tool can only connect using the ‘root’ user and only on IP addresses defined by drizzle-protocol.admin-ip-addresses or mysql-protocol.admin-ip-addresses. At the moment the drizzleadmin tool is only to be used to bypass the protocol’s max-connections setting to do tasks such as killing queries or clients. Eventually more administrative features will be added.
