# Galera Monitor
[[TOC]]
## Overview
The Galera Monitor is a monitoring module for MaxScale that monitors a Galera

`wsrep_local_index` value as the master. This will mean that two MaxScales
running on different servers will choose the same server as the master.
### Galera clusters and slaves replicating from it
MaxScale 2.4.0 added support for slaves replicating off of Galera nodes. If a
non-Galera server monitored by galeramon is replicating from a Galera node also
monitored by galeramon, it will be assigned the `Slave, Running` status as long
as the replication works. This allows read-scaleout with Galera servers without
increasing the size of the Galera cluster.
## Configuration
A minimal configuration for a monitor requires a set of servers for monitoring
