SHOW MASTER STATUS

View the current status of the primary server's binary log. This statement returns the current log file name and position for replication synchronization.

Syntax

Current

SHOW [MASTER | BINLOG] STATUS

< 10.5.2

SHOW MASTER STATUS

Description

Provides status information about the binary log files of the primary.

Current

This statement requires the BINLOG MONITOR privilege.

< 10.5.2

This statement requires the SUPER privilege and the REPLICATION_CLIENT privilege.

The following improved functionality is available from MariaDB 12.3.

To see information about the current GTIDs in the binary log, use the gtid_binlog_pos variable. It is enabled by default, and helps find the current state of the master server. (Previously, this required two statements, SHOW MASTER STATUS and SELECT @@global.gtid_binlog_pos.)

Example

The following example works in all MariaDB versions. From MariaDB 12.3, the second statement doesn't have to be run, though, because SHOW BINLOG STATUS shows the value of @@global.gtid_binlog_pos, too.

SHOW BINLOG STATUS;
+--------------------+----------+--------------+------------------+
| File               | Position | Binlog_Do_DB | Binlog_Ignore_DB |
+--------------------+----------+--------------+------------------+
| mariadb-bin.000016 |      475 |              |                  |
+--------------------+----------+--------------+------------------+
SELECT @@global.gtid_binlog_pos;
+--------------------------+
| @@global.gtid_binlog_pos |
+--------------------------+
| 0-1-2                    |
+--------------------------+
