Hello, I’m just starting with a managed MySQL database and I’m wondering if it has the binary log feature enabled and if there is a way to access it somehow?

Hello,
Yes, it is enabled:
mysql> show variables like 'log_bin';
+---------------+-------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+---------------+-------+
| log_bin | ON |
+---------------+-------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
I think that it is necessary for the MySQL replication and it is used by the read-only replicas. However, I don’t believe that you would be able to access them as this is a managed service.
Is there a particular reason why you need to access the bin logs?
Regards, Bobby
