Replication and Binary Log System Variables
Explore replication and binary log system variables in MariaDB Server. This section details essential configuration parameters for managing replication behavior & binary logging for data consistency.
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
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
to65535
auto_increment_offset
auto_increment_offset
Description: The offset for all AUTO_INCREMENT values on the server, by default
1
. Intended for use in primary-to-primary replication. Should be not be larger than auto_increment_increment. See AUTO_INCREMENT#Replication.Commandline:

to65535
binlog_alter_two_phase
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
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:
ON
(>= MariaDB 10.2.4)OFF
(<= MariaDB 10.2.3)
binlog_cache_size
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=#

binlog_checksum
binlog_checksum
Description: Specifies the type of BINLOG_CHECKSUM_ALG for log events in the binary log.
Commandline:

--binlog-checksum=[0|1]
Scope: Global
Dynamic: Yes

binlog_commit_wait_count
binlog_commit_wait_count
Description: Configures the behavior of group commit for the binary log, which can help increase transaction throughput and is used to enable conservative mode of in-order parallel replication. With group commit for the binary log, the server can delay flushing a committed transaction into binary log until the given number of transactions are ready to be flushed as a group. The delay will however not be longer than the value set by binlog_commit_wait_usec. The default value of 0 means that no delay is introduced. Setting this value can reduce I/O on the binary log and give an increased opportunity for parallel apply on the replica when conservative mode of in-order parallel replication is enabled, but too high a value will decrease the transaction throughput. By monitoring the status variable binlog_group_commit_trigger_count (>=MariaDB 10.1.5) it is possible to see how often this is occurring.
Starting with MariaDB 10.0.18 and MariaDB 10.1.4: If the server detects that one of the committing transactions T1 holds anInnoDB row lock that another transaction T2 is waiting for, then the commit will complete immediately without further delay. This helps avoid losing throughput when many transactions need conflicting locks. This often makes it safe to use this option without losing throughput on a replica with conservative mode of in-order parallel replication, provided the value ofslave_parallel_threads is sufficiently high.

binlog_commit_wait_usec
binlog_commit_wait_usec
Description: Configures the behavior of group commit for the binary log, which can help increase transaction throughput and is used to enable conservative mode of in-order parallel replication. With group commit for the binary log, the server can delay flushing a committed transaction into binary log until the transaction has waited the configured number of microseconds. By monitoring the status variable binlog_group_commit_trigger_timeout (>=MariaDB 10.1.5) it is possible to see how often group commits are made due to
binlog_commit_wait_usec
. As soon as the number of pending commits reaches binlog_commit_wait_count, the wait will be terminated, though. Thus, this setting only takes effect ifbinlog_commit_wait_count
is non-zero.Commandline:

Range:

to18446744073709551615
binlog_direct_non_transactional_updates
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
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.

binlog_format
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_ignore_db
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.

binlog_large_commit_threshold
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.

binlog_legacy_event_pos
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.

Introduced: MariaDB 11.4
binlog_optimize_thread_scheduling
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.

binlog_row_event_max_size
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.

binlog_row_image
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 asFULL
, but takes less space. From MariaDB 11.4.

binlog_stmt_cache_size
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).

expire_logs_days
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

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_trust_function_creators
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
isOFF
and log_bin isON
, CREATE FUNCTION and ALTER FUNCTION statements will trigger an error if the function is defined with any of theNOT DETERMINISTIC
,CONTAINS SQL
orMODIFIES SQL DATA
characteristics.This means that when
log_bin_trust_function_creators
isOFF
and log_bin isON
, CREATE FUNCTION and ALTER FUNCTION statements will only succeed if the function is defined with any of theDETERMINISTIC
,NO SQL
, orREADS SQL DATA
characteristics.Setting
log_bin_trust_function_creators

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.
