Description

Query the binlog files of an instance (only supports MySQL instance), supporting querying by page. RDS provides binlog file downloads:

  • When the DownloadLink is NULL, this indicates that RDS has not provided a download URL.

  • When DownloadLink is not NULL, you can use this URL to download the backup file through wget (add double quotes), a browser, or programming. The expiration time for this URL is LinkExpiredTime. Use it before the expiration time. If it has expired, you can see the following error code during the download:
