Relocating binary logs


Since binary logs occupy more space, and sometimes you may wish to change the location of binary logs, the following procedure helps. Changing the log_bin alone is not sufficient, you have to move all the binary logs and update the index file with the new location. The mysqlbinlogmove utility eases your work by automating those tasks.

How to do it...

MySQL Utilities should be installed for using the mysqlbinlogmove script. Refer to Chapter 1, MySQL 8.0 – Installing and Upgrading,  for installation steps.

  1. Stop the MySQL server:
shell> sudo systemctl stop mysql
  1. Start the mysqlbinlogmove utility. If you want to change the binary logs from /data/mysql/binlogs to /binlogs, the following command should be used. If your base name is not default, you have to mention your base name through the --bin-log-base name option:
shell> sudo mysqlbinlogmove --bin-log-base name=server1  --binlog-dir=/data/mysql/binlogs /binlogs
#
# Moving bin-log files...
# - server1.000001
# - server1...
