Description:
This may be an agent or a server issue. It's not clear to me.

The replication status shown for a server mc01intmdb-01 is shown as unknown. The agent logs no errors and the server shows no other event problems. In fact it's shown as up and the db connection is shown as up.

How to repeat:
.

Suggested fix:
Report the correct state or indicate why the correct state can not be determined.

After a fresh install of 2.0.4.7138 server I no longer see the problem. So I can't repeat it. 

I guess it's best to close the bug report.

2.0.5 (to be released shortly) will contain a fix we hope makes this disappear: the agent now reads the master.info file and we use that to unambiguously identify the master (if we don't have it, we fall back to IP address, etc.)

An entry was added to the 2.0.5 changelog:

The replication status of a server was displayed as “unknown”. However, the agent logged no errors and the server showed no other event problems. The server status was displayed as “up” and the database connection was also displayed as “up”.
