Add Support for {server_uuid} Macro to Identify Replicas in Autoscaled Clusters
Add support for {server_uuid} macro. It is useful for identifying replicas in autoscaled clusters when new replicas are constantly added and removed in runtime. This closes #48554. #48563 (Alexey Milovidov).Why it matters
This feature addresses the challenge of distinguishing replicas in environments where new replicas are frequently added and removed at runtime. Using the{server_uuid} macro helps in reliably identifying each replica despite dynamic cluster changes, improving management and monitoring of autoscaled clusters.How to use it
Users can include the{server_uuid} macro in their configuration files or queries where replica identification is required. This macro will be automatically replaced with the unique UUID of the server replica at runtime.
