ROTATE_EVENT

When a binary log file exceeds the configured size limit, a ROTATE_EVENT is written at the end of the file, pointing to the next file in the sequence.

ROTATE_EVENT is generated locally and written to the binary log on the master and it's also written when a FLUSH LOGS statement occurs on the master server.

The ROTATE_EVENT is sent to the connected slave servers.

  • The Event Type is set ROTATE_EVENT (0x4)

Fields

  • uint<8> The position of the first event in the next log file. Note: it always contains the number 4 (meaning the next event starts at position 4 in the next binary log).
  • string<EOF> The next binary log name. The filename is not null-terminated.
