Hi again Artem,

Just a few thoughts:

It might be more correct to run "sudo -u mysql mysqld --help --verbose" as that is the user running mysqld.

Also, ~/.my.cnf will of course refer to the file in the mysql user's home dir (if that exists) rather than the one in your own home dir.

And lastly, just to be sure, you *did* of course check the contents of any files included by /etc/my.cnf as well, right? (I'm sure you wouldn't make such a rookie mistake, but we have to check all possibilities ....)  

Cheers,
Karl

Hi Karl,

The option is in the same group as all other settings that do take effect ([mysqld]) and is the same across all 3 slave servers.

Default options are read from the following files in the given order:
/etc/my.cnf ~/.my.cnf
The following groups are read: mysqld server mysqld-10.4 mariadb mariadb-10.4 mariadbd mariadbd-10.4 client-server galera

~/.my.cnf only contains user/password auth info and nothing else.

The printout lists these:
general-log                                                TRUE
general-log-file                                           /var/log/mysql/mysqld-queries.log

The log-file is exactly what I set in my.cnf, but general-log is set to TRUE, even though I have it set to "off".

I'm still at a loss.

Sincerely,
Artem

Hi Artem,

In which option group have you placed the setting? ([server], [mysqld], [mariadb] etc.)

Are you sure your setting isn't being overridden by another option file? You can check the output of running "mysqld --help --verbose" and verify that you don't have any extra files at the locations listed.

Cheers,
Karl

Hi folks,

I'm at a loss here. I've had a mysql and now mariadb (MariaDB 10.4.13-MariaDB-log) slave with query logging enabled for years, but I'm now trying to turn it off using the my.cnf option and it does not seem to stick on server restarts.

What's weird is the other slaves with the exact same my.cnf don't log, but this one slave refuses to stop doing it.

To clarify, SET global general_log = 0 does stop logging but the setting comes back on after a restart.

I'm turning it off in my.cnf like this:
general_log = off
#Enter a name for the query log file. Otherwise a default name will be used.
general_log_file=/var/log/mysql/mysqld-queries.log

Commenting out general_log_file simply changes it to go to a different location. I also tried general_log=0 without any luck.

ps shows it as running with:
mysql    27580     1 99 16:26 ?        00:01:40 /usr/sbin/mysqld --defaults-file=/etc/my.cnf --user=mysql
So --general-log isn't getting set on command line.

What am I missing? Why does it insist on getting turned on and refuses to listen to the setting? Is it a bug?

Thanks.

Sincerely,
Artem
