Maxbinlogcheck, the MySQL/MariaDB binlog check utility

Overview

Maxbinlogcheck is a command line utility for checking binlogfiles. The files may have been downloaded by the MariaDB MaxScale binlog router or they may be MySQL/MariaDB binlog files stored in a database server acting as a master in a replication environment. Maxbinlogcheck checks the binlog files against any corruption and stored incomplete transactions and reports a transaction summary after reading all the events. It may optionally truncate the binlog file.

Maxbinlogcheck supports:

  • MariaDB 5.5 and MySQL 5.6
  • MariaDB 10.0 and 10.1 with a command line option

Running maxbinlogcheck

# /usr/local/bin/maxbinlogcheck /path_to_file/bin.000002

Command Line Switches

The maxbinlogcheck command accepts a number of switches

Switch Long Option Description
-f --fix If set the binlog file will be truncated at last safe transaction pos in case of any error
-M --mariadb10 Checks the current binlog against MariaDB 10.0.x events
-d --debug Sets the debug mode. If set the FD Events, Rotate events and opening/closing transactions are displayed.
-? --help Prints usage information regarding maxbinlogcheck
-V --version Prints the maxbinlogcheck version information
-K --key_file AES Key file for MariaDB 10.1 binlog file decryption
-A --aes_algo AES Algorithm for MariaDB 10.1 binlog file decryption (default=AES_CBC, AES_CTR)
-H --header Prints the binlog event header

Example without debug:

  1. No transactions

This file is corrupted, as reported by the utility:

The suggested safe pos is 245.

Note

With current maxbinlogcheck it's not possible to fix a binlog with incomplete transaction and no other errors

If that is really desired it will be possible with UNIX command line:

# truncate /servers/binlogs/new-trx/mar-bin.000003 --size=572

In case of an error and incomplete transaction, the fix will work
