ApsaraDB RDS:Binlog FAQs

Last Updated:Aug 24, 2023
  1. Q: Two binlog files have a similar start time and end time. Why has this occurred? Is the start time of one file consecutive with that of another?

    A: The two files contain binlogs that were generated during the backup of the primary and secondary nodes. As a result, the two files have a similar start time and end time. The start time of each file is not the same.

  2. Q: Are binlog files compressed?

    A: Binlog files are not compressed.

  3. Q: How are the generation, upload, and clearing of binlogs triggered?

    A: When more than 500 MB of log data is written to a binlog file, a new binlog file is generated. Backup logs are uploaded to OSS based on local backup settings, and then local logs are cleared.
