Replication and Binary Log System Variables
Replication and Binary Log System Variables
The terms master and slave have historically been used in replication, and MariaDB has begun the process of adding primary and replica synonyms. The old terms will continue to be used to maintain backward compatibility - see MDEV-18777 to follow progress on this effort.
This page lists system variables that are related to binary logging and replication.
See Server System Variables for a complete list of system variables and instructions on setting them, as well as System variables for global transaction ID.
Also see mariadbd replication options for related options that are not system variables (such as binlog_do_db and binlog_ignore_db).
See also the Full list of MariaDB options, system and status variables.
auto_increment_increment
- Description: The increment for all AUTO_INCREMENT values on the server, by default
1. Intended for use in primary-to-primary replication.
- Commandline:
--auto-increment-increment[=#]
- Scope: Global, Session
- Dynamic: Yes
- Data Type:
numeric
- Default Value:
1
- Range:
1 to 65535
auto_increment_offset
binlog_alter_two_phase
- Description: When set, split ALTER at binary logging into two statements: START ALTER and COMMIT/ROLLBACK ALTER. The ON setting is recommended for long-running ALTER-table so it could start on replica before its actual execution on primary.
- Commandline:
--binlog-alter-two-phase[={0|1}]
- Scope: Global, Session
- Dynamic: Yes
- Data Type:
boolean
- Default Value:
OFF
- Introduced: MariaDB 10.8.1
binlog_annotate_row_events
- Description: This option tells the primary to write annotate_rows_events to the binary log.
- Commandline:
--binlog-annotate-row-events[={0|1}]
- Scope: Global, Session
- Dynamic: Yes
- Data Type: boolean
- Default Value:
binlog_cache_size
- Description: If the binary log is active, this variable determines the size in bytes, per-connection, of the cache holding a record of binary log changes during a transaction. A separate variable, binlog_stmt_cache_size, sets the upper limit for the statement cache. The binlog_cache_disk_use and binlog_cache_use server status variables will indicate whether this variable needs to be increased (you want a low ratio of binlog_cache_disk_use to binlog_cache_use).
- Commandline:
--binlog-cache-size=#
- Scope: Global
- Dynamic: Yes
- Data Type:
numeric
- Default Value:
32768
- Range - 32 bit:
4096 to 4294967295
- Range - 64 bit:
4096 to 18446744073709547520
binlog_checksum
- Description: Specifies the type of BINLOG_CHECKSUM_ALG for log events in the binary log.
- Commandline:
--binlog-checksum=name--binlog-checksum=[0|1]
- Scope: Global
- Dynamic: Yes
- Data Type:
string
- Default Value:
- Valid Values:
NONE (0), CRC32 (1)
binlog_commit_wait_count
binlog_commit_wait_usec
binlog_direct_non_transactional_updates
- Description: Replication inconsistencies can occur due when a transaction updates both transactional and non-transactional tables and the updates to the non-transactional tables are visible before being written to the binary log. This is because, to preserve causality, the non-transactional statements are written to the transaction cache, which is only flushed on commit. Setting binlog_direct_non_transactional_updates to 1 (0 is default) will cause non-transactional tables to be written straight to the binary log, rather than the transaction cache. This setting has no effect when row-based binary logging is used, as it requires statement-based logging. See binlog_format. Use with care, and only in situations where no dependencies exist between the non-transactional and transactional tables, for example INSERTing into a non-transactional table based upon the results of a SELECT from a transactional table.
- Commandline:
--binlog-direct-non-transactional-updates[=value]
- Scope: Global, Session
- Dynamic: Yes
- Data Type:
boolean
- Default Value:
OFF (0)
binlog_do_db
- Description: This option allows you to configure a replication primary to write statements and transactions affecting databases that match a specified name into its binary log. Since the filtered statements or transactions will not be present in the binary log, its replicas will not be able to replicate them.
- This option will not work with cross-database updates with statement-based logging. See the Statement-Based Logging section for more information.
- Until MariaDB 11.2.0, only available as an option, not a system variable. This option can not be set dynamically.
- When setting it on the command-line or in a server option group in an option file, the option does not accept a comma-separated list. If you would like to specify multiple filters, then you need to specify the option multiple times.
- See Replication Filters for more information.
- Commandline:
--binlog-do-db=#
- Scope: Global
- Dynamic: No
- Data Type:
string
- Default Value: NULL
- Introduced: MariaDB 11.2.0 (as a system variable)
binlog_expire_logs_seconds
- Description: If non-zero, binary logs will be purged after
binlog_expire_logs_seconds seconds. Possible purges happen at startup and at binary log rotation. From MariaDB 10.6.1, binlog_expire_logs_seconds and expire_logs_days are forms of aliases, such that changes to one automatically reflect in the other.
- Commandline:
--binlog-expire-logs-seconds=#
- Scope: Global
- Dynamic: Yes
- Data Type:
numeric
- Default Value:
0
- Range:
0 to 8553600
- Introduced: MariaDB 10.6.1
binlog_file_cache_size
- Description: Size of in-memory cache that is allocated when reading binary log and relay log files.

16384
- Range:
8192 to 18446744073709551615
- Introduced: MariaDB 10.3.3
binlog_format
- Description: Determines whether replication is row-based, statement-based or mixed. Statement-based was the default until MariaDB 10.2.3. Be careful of changing the binary log format when a replication environment is already running. See Binary Log Formats. Starting from MariaDB 10.0.22 a replica will apply any events it gets from the primary, regardless of the binary log format.
binlog_format only applies to normal (not replicated) updates.
- Commandline:
--binlog-format=format
- Scope: Global, Session
- Dynamic: Yes
- Data Type:
enumeration
- Default Value:
- Valid Values:
ROW, STATEMENT or MIXED

- Commandline:
--binlog-gtid-index{=0|1}
- Scope: Global
- Dynamic: Yes
- Data Type:
boolean
- Default Value:
ON
- Introduced: MariaDB 11.4
binlog_gtid_index_page_size
- Description: Page size to use for the binlog GTID index. See Binlog indexing.

- Scope: Global
- Dynamic: Yes
- Data Type:
numeric
- Default Value:
4096
- Range:
64 to 16777216
- Introduced: MariaDB 11.4
binlog_gtid_index_span_min
- Description: Control sparseness of the binlog GTID index. If set to N, at most one index record will be added for every N bytes of binlog file written, to reduce the size of the index. Normally does not need tuning. See Binlog indexing.
- Commandline:
--binlog-gtid-index-span-min=#
- Scope: Global
- Dynamic: Yes
- Data Type:
numeric
- Default Value:
65536
- Range:
1 to 1073741824
- Introduced: MariaDB 11.4
binlog_ignore_db
- Description: This option allows you to configure a replication primary to not write statements and transactions affecting databases that match a specified name into its binary log. Since the filtered statements or transactions will not be present in the binary log, its replicas will not be able to replicate them.
- This option will not work with cross-database updates with statement-based logging. See the Statement-Based Logging section for more information.
- Until MariaDB 11.2.0, only available as an option, not a system variable. This option can not be set dynamically.
- When setting it on the command-line or in a server option group in an option file, the option does not accept a comma-separated list. If you would like to specify multiple filters, then you need to specify the option multiple times.
- See Replication Filters for more information.
- Commandline:
--binlog-ignore-db=name
- Scope: Global
- Dynamic: No
- Data Type:
string
- Default Value: NULL
- Introduced: MariaDB 11.2.0
binlog_large_commit_threshold
- Description: Increases transaction concurrency for large transactions (i.e. those with sizes larger than this value) by using the large transaction's cache file as a new binary log, and rotating the active binary log to the large transaction's cache file at commit time. This avoids the default commit logic that copies the transaction cache data to the end of the active binary log file while holding a lock that prevents other transactions from binlogging.
- Commandline:
--binlog-large-commit-threshold=val
- Scope: Global
- Dynamic: Yes
- Data Type:
bigint unsigned
- Default Value:
134217728
- Range:
10485760 to 18446744073709551615
- Introduced: MariaDB 11.7
binlog_legacy_event_pos
- Description: Fill in the end_log_pos field of _all_ events in the binlog, even when doing so costs performance. Can be used in case some old application needs it for backwards compatibility. Setting this option can hurt binlog scalability.
- Commandline:
--binlog-legacy-event-pos{=0|1}
- Scope: Global
- Dynamic: Yes
- Data Type:
boolean
- Default Value:
OFF
- Introduced: MariaDB 11.4
binlog_optimize_thread_scheduling
- Description: Run fast part of group commit in a single thread, to optimize kernel thread scheduling. On by default. Disable to run each transaction in group commit in its own thread, which can be slower at very high concurrency. This option is mostly for testing one algorithm versus another, and it should not normally be necessary to change it. Deprecated in MariaDB 11.7, as the option was initially added to provide a safe alternative for the newly added binlog group commit logic, such that when 0, it would disable a leader thread from performing the binlog write for all transactions that are a part of the group commit. Problems related to the binlog group commit optimization are expected to be addressed by now, so the option has been deprecated and will be removed in future.
- Commandline:
--binlog-optimize-thread-scheduling or --skip-binlog-optimize-thread-scheduling
- Scope: Global
- Dynamic: No
- Data Type:
boolean
- Default Value:
ON
- Deprecated: MariaDB 11.7
binlog_row_event_max_size
- Description: The maximum size of a row-based binary log event in bytes. Rows will be grouped into events smaller than this size if possible. The value has to be a multiple of 256. Until MariaDB 11.2.0, only available as an option, not a system variable.
- Commandline:
--binlog-row-event-max-size=val
- Scope: Global, Session
- Dynamic: Yes
- Data Type:
numeric
- Default Value:
8192
- Range:
256 to 4294967040 (in multiples of 256)
- Introduced: MariaDB 11.2.0
binlog_row_image
- Description: Controls the logging format in row-based replication. In row-based replication (the variable has no effect with statement-based replication), each row change event contains an image for matching against when choosing the row to be updated, and another image containing the changes. Before the introduction of this variable, all columns were logged for both of these images. In certain circumstances, this is not necessary, and memory, disk and network resources can be saved by partial logging. Note that to safely change this setting from the default, the table being replicated to must contain identical primary key definitions, and columns must be present, in the same order, and use the same data types as the original table. If these conditions are not met, matches may not be correctly determined and updates and deletes may diverge on the replica, with no warnings or errors returned.
FULL: All columns in the before and after image are logged. This is the default, and the only behavior in earlier versions.NOBLOB: mariadbd avoids logging blob and text columns whenever possible (eg, blob column was not changed or is not part of primary key).MINIMAL: A PK equivalent (PK columns or full row if there is no PK in the table) is logged in the before image, and only changed columns are logged in the after image.FULL_NODUP: All columns are logged in the before image, but only changed columns or all columns of inserted record are logged in the after image. This is essentially the same as FULL, but takes less space. From MariaDB 11.4.
- Commandline:
--binlog-row-image=value
- Scope: Global, Session
- Dynamic: Yes
- Data Type:
enum
- Default Value:
FULL
- Valid Values:
binlog_row_metadata

- Scope: Global
- Dynamic: Yes
- Data Type:
enum
- Default Value:
NO_LOG
- Valid Values:
NO_LOG, MINIMAL, FULL
- Introduced: MariaDB 10.5.0
binlog_space_limit
binlog_stmt_cache_size
- Description: If the binary log is active, this variable determines the size in bytes of the cache holding a record of binary log changes outside of a transaction. The variable binlog_cache_size, determines the cache size for binary log statements inside a transaction. The binlog_stmt_cache_disk_use and binlog_stmt_cache_use server status variables will indicate whether this variable needs to be increased (you want a low ratio of binlog_stmt_cache_disk_use to binlog_stmt_cache_use).
- Commandline:

- Dynamic: Yes
- Data Type:
string
- Default Value:
'' (empty string)
encrypt_binlog
expire_logs_days
- Description: Number of days after which the binary log can be automatically removed. By default 0, or no automatic removal. When using replication, should always be set higher than the maximum lag by any replica. Removals take place when the server starts up, when the binary log is flushed, when the next binary log is created after the previous one reaches the maximum size, or when running PURGE BINARY LOGS. Units are whole days (integer) until MariaDB 10.6.0, or 1/1000000 precision (double) from MariaDB 10.6.1.
Starting from MariaDB 10.6.1, expire_logs_days and binlog_expire_logs_seconds are forms of aliases, such that changes to one automatically reflect in the other.
- Commandline:
--expire-logs-days=#
- Scope: Global
- Dynamic: Yes
- Data Type:
numeric
- Default Value:
0.000000 (>= MariaDB 10.6.1), 0 (<= MariaDB 10.6.0)
- Range:
0 to 99
init_slave
- Description: Similar to init_connect, but the string contains one or more SQL statements, separated by semicolons, that will be executed by a replica server each time the SQL thread starts. These statements are only executed after the acknowledgement is sent to the replica and START SLAVE completes.
- Commandline:
--init-slave=name
- Scope: Global
- Dynamic: Yes
- Data Type:
string
- Related variables:
init_connect
log_bin
- Description: Whether binary logging is enabled or not. If the --log-bin option is used, log_bin will be set to ON, otherwise it will be OFF. If no
name option is given for --log-bin, datadir/'log-basename'-bin or 'datadir'/mysql-bin will be used (the latter if --log-basename is not specified). We strongly recommend you use either --log-basename or specify a filename to ensure that replication doesn't stop if the real hostname of the computer changes. The name option can optionally include an absolute path. If no path is specified, the log will be written to the data directory. The name can optionally include the file extension; it will be stripped and only the file basename will be used.
- Commandline:
--log-bin[=name]
- Scope: Global
- Dynamic: No
- Data Type:
boolean
- Default Value:
OFF
- Related variables:
sql_log_bin
log_bin_basename
- Description: The full path of the binary log file names, excluding the extension. Its value is derived from the rules specified in
log_bin system variable. This is a read-only variable only, there is no corresponding configuration file setting or command line option by the same name, use log_bin to set the basename path instead.
- Commandline:
No commandline option
- Scope: Global
- Dynamic: No
- Data Type:
string
- Default Value: None
- Dynamic:
No
log_bin_compress
log_bin_compress_min_len

- Dynamic: Yes
- Data Type:
numeric
- Default Value:
256
- Range:
10 to 1024
log_bin_index
- Description: File that holds the names for last binlog files. If --log-basename is also set,
log_bin_index should be placed after in the config files. Later settings override earlier settings, so log-basename will override any earlier log file name settings.
- Commandline:
--log-bin-index=name
- Scope: Global
- Dynamic: No
- Data Type:
string
- Default Value: None
log_bin_trust_function_creators
- Description: Functions and triggers can be dangerous when used with replication. Certain types of functions and triggers may have unintended consequences when the statements are applied on a replica. For that reason, there are some restrictions on the creation of functions and triggers when the binary log is enabled by default, such as:
- When
log_bin_trust_function_creators is OFF and log_bin is ON, CREATE FUNCTION and ALTER FUNCTION statements will trigger an error if the function is defined with any of the NOT DETERMINISTIC, CONTAINS SQL or MODIFIES SQL DATA characteristics.
- This means that when
log_bin_trust_function_creators is OFF and log_bin is ON, CREATE FUNCTION and ALTER FUNCTION statements will only succeed if the function is defined with any of the DETERMINISTIC, NO SQL, or READS SQL DATA characteristics.
- When
log_bin_trust_function_creators is OFF and log_bin is ON, the SUPER privilege is also required to execute the following statements:
- Setting
log_bin_trust_function_creators to ON removes these requirements around functions characteristics and the SUPER privileges.
- See Binary Logging of Stored Routines for more information.
- Commandline:
--log-bin-trust-function-creators[={0|1}]
- Scope: Global
- Dynamic: Yes
- Data Type:
boolean
- Default Value:
OFF
log_slow_slave_statements
- Description: Log slow statements executed by replica thread to the slow log if it is open. Before MariaDB 10.1.13, this was only available as a mariadbd option, not a server variable.
- Commandline:
--log-slow-slave-statements
- Scope: Global
- Dynamic: Yes
- Data Type:
boolean
- Default Value:
log_slave_updates
- Description: If set to
0, the default, updates on a replica received from a primary during replication are not logged in the replica's binary log. If set to 1, they are. The replica's binary log needs to be enabled for this to have an effect. Set to 1 if you want to daisy-chain the replicas.
- Commandline:
--log-slave-updates
- Scope: Global
- Dynamic: No
- Data Type:
boolean
- Default Value:
OFF
master_verify_checksum
- Description: Verify binlog checksums when reading events from the binlog on the primary.

- Range:
4096 to 18446744073709547520
max_binlog_size
- Description: If the binary log exceeds this size in bytes after a write, the server rotates it by closing it and opening a new binary log. Single transactions will always be stored in the same binary log, so the server will wait for open transactions to complete before rotating. This figure also applies to the size of relay logs if max_relay_log_size is set to zero.
- Commandline:
--max-binlog-size=#
- Scope: Global
- Dynamic: Yes

- Introduced: MariaDB 11.4
max_relay_log_size
- Description: Replica will rotate its relay log if it exceeds this size after a write. If set to 0, the max_binlog_size setting is used instead. Previously global only, since the implementation of multi-source replication, it can be set per session as well.
- Commandline:
--max-relay-log-size=#
- Scope: Global, Session
- Dynamic: Yes
- Data Type:
numeric
- Default Value:
0
- Range:
0, or 4096 to 1073741824 (4KB to 1GB)
read_binlog_speed_limit
- Description: Used to restrict the speed at which a replica can read the binlog from the primary. This can be used to reduce the load on a primary if many replicas need to download large amounts of old binlog files at the same time. The network traffic will be restricted to the specified number of kilobytes per second.

relay_log
- Description: Relay log basename. If not set, the basename of the files will be
hostname-relay-bin, or derived from --log-basename. If --log-basename is also set, relay_log should be placed after in the config files. Later settings override earlier settings, so log-basename will override any earlier log file name settings.
- Commandline:
--relay-log=file_name
- Scope: Global
- Dynamic: No
- Data Type:
filename
- Default Value:
'' (none)
relay_log_basename
- Description: The full path of the relay log file names, excluding the extension. Its value is derived from the relay-log variable value.
- Commandline:
No commandline option
- Scope: Global
- Dynamic: No
- Data Type:
string
- Default Value: None
- Dynamic:
No
relay_log_index
- Description: Name and location of the relay log index file, the file that keeps a list of the last relay logs. Defaults to hostname-relay-bin.index, or derived from --log-basename. If --log-basename is also set,
relay_log_index should be placed after in the config files. Later settings override earlier settings, so log-basename will override any earlier log file name settings.
- Commandline:
--relay-log-index=name
- Scope: Global
- Dynamic: No
- Data Type:
string
- Default Value: None
relay_log_info_file
- Description: Name and location of the file where the
RELAY_LOG_FILE and RELAY_LOG_POS options (i.e. the relay log position) for the CHANGE MASTER statement are written. The replica's SQL thread keeps this relay log position updated as it applies events.

--relay-log-info-file=file_name
- Scope: Global
- Dynamic: No
- Data Type:
string
- Default Value:
relay-log.info
relay_log_purge
- Description: If set to

- Scope: Global
- Dynamic: Yes
- Data Type:
boolean
- Default Value:
ON
- Note: In MySQL and in MariaDB before version 10.0.8 this variable was silently changed if you did CHANGE MASTER.
relay_log_recovery
- Description: If set to
1 (0 is default), on startup the replica will drop all relay logs that haven't yet been processed, and retrieve relay logs from the primary. Can be useful after the replica has crashed to prevent the processing of corrupt relay logs. relay_log_recovery should always be set together with relay_log_purge. Setting relay-log-recovery=1 with relay-log-purge=0 can cause the relay log to be read from files that were not purged, leading to data inconsistencies.
- Commandline:
--relay-log-recovery
- Scope: Global
- Dynamic: Yes
- Data Type:
boolean
- Default Value:
OFF
relay_log_space_limit
- Description: Specifies the maximum space to be used for the relay logs. The IO thread will stop until the SQL thread has cleared the backlog. By default

SET GLOBAL, the system variable accepts a comma-separated list of filters.
- When setting it on the command-line or in a server option group in an option file, the system variable does not accept a comma-separated list. If you would like to specify multiple filters, then you need to specify the system variable multiple times.
- See Replication Filters for more information.
- Commandline:
--replicate-do-db=name
- Scope: Global
- Dynamic: Yes
- Data Type:
string
- Default Value:
'' (empty)

- Description: When an error occurs on the replica, replication usually halts. This option permits a list of error codes to ignore, and for which replication will continue. This option should never be needed in normal use, and careless use could lead to replica that are out of sync with primary's. Error codes are in the format of the number from the replica error log. Using
all as an option permits the replica the keep replicating no matter what error it encounters, an option you would never normally need in production and which could rapidly lead to data inconsistencies. A count of these is kept in slave_skipped_errors.

slave_type_conversions
- Description: Determines the type conversion mode on the replica when using row-based replication, including replications in MariaDB Galera cluster. Multiple options can be set, delimited by commas. If left empty, the default, type conversions are disallowed. The variable is dynamic and a change in its value takes effect immediately. This variable tells the server what to do if the table definition is different between the primary and replica (for example a column is 'int' on the primary and 'bigint' on the replica).
ALL_NON_LOSSY means that all safe conversions (no data loss) are allowed.ALL_LOSSY means that all lossy conversions are allowed (for example 'bigint' to 'int'). This, however, does not imply that safe conversions (non-lossy) are allowed as well. In order to allow all conversions, one needs to allow both lossy as well as non-lossy conversions by setting this variable to ALL_NON_LOSSY,ALL_LOSSY.- Empty (default) means that the server should give an error and replication should stop if the table definition is different between the primary and replica.
- Commandline:

- Dynamic: Yes
- Data Type:
boolean
- Default Value:
1
- Related variables:
log_bin
sql_slave_skip_counter
- Description: Number of events that a replica skips from the primary. If this would cause the replica to begin in the middle of an event group, the replica will instead begin from the beginning of the next event group. See SET GLOBAL sql_slave_skip_counter.
- Scope: Global
- Dynamic: Yes
- Data Type:
numeric
- Default Value:
0
sync_binlog
- Description: MariaDB will synchronize its binary log file to disk after this many events. The default is 0, in which case the operating system handles flushing the file to disk. 1 is the safest, but slowest, choice, since the file is flushed after each write. If autocommit is enabled, there is one write per statement, otherwise there's one write per transaction. If the disk has cache backed by battery, synchronization will be fast and a more conservative number can be chosen.
