Issue

  • How can we access the database-related binary logs that are stored on the SSD?

Environment

  • Liferay SaaS

Resolution

  • You can connect to your instance and run the show binary logs; command in order to get the names of the binary logs.
  • Also, you can use mysqlbinlog (mysqlbinlog — Utility for Processing Binary Log Files) to display the contents of the binary log files for an instance.
  • Please also note that binary logs are automatically deleted with their associated automatic backup, which generally happens after about 7 days, as per the documentation (Disk usage and point-in-time recovery).
