[SOLVED] Mysql query log is empty after boot

mikael · 2016-04-28 04:52:57

Hi,
I can't figure out why is my mysql general and slow query log empty after computer reboot. After restarting the server with systemctl the logs get populated.
After reboot the files are created just empty.

$ stat /var/log/mysql/query.log
  File: '/var/log/mysql/query.log'
  Size: 0               Blocks: 0          IO Block: 4096   regular empty file

my.cnf settings:

# The MariaDB server

log_queries_not_using_indexes = 0

# Replication Master Server (default)
# binary logging is required for replication

# binary logging format - mixed recommended

Using the default systemd unit file:

$ cat /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/mysqld.service
[Unit]
Description=MariaDB database server
After=syslog.target

[Service]
User=mysql
Group=mysql

ExecStart=/usr/bin/mysqld --pid-file=/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid 
ExecStartPost=/usr/bin/mysqld-post

Restart=always
PrivateTmp=true

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

After service restart the logs get populated:

$ sudo systemctl restart mysqld.service 
$ stat /var/log/mysql/query.log

Maybe it's an issue with logrotate that runs after mysql

$ systemd-analyze blame
          4.150s logrotate.service
          3.875s updatedb.service
          3.552s netctl@ethernet\x2dstatic.service
          1.065s mysqld.service

The solution was changing the postrotate command in /etc/logrotate.d/mysql from

/usr/bin/systemctl reload mysqld.service 2>/dev/null

to

/usr/bin/systemctl restart mysqld.service 2>/dev/null
