How It Affects Your App
This error indicates that the master server is unable to read the binary log, which is a critical component of the replication process. As a result, the application will be unable to replicate data from the master server to the slave servers, leading to data inconsistency and potential data loss. Furthermore, the application may experience performance issues due to the lack of replication. This could lead to a decrease in user experience and customer satisfaction.
How To Fix
1. Check the error log for the MySQL 1236 error. This can be done by running the following command:

2. Check the error log file for the MySQL 1236 error. This can be done by running the following command:
mysql> SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES LIKE 'log_error_file';
3. Check the MySQL server configuration for the MySQL 1236 error. This can be done by running the following command:
mysql> SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES LIKE 'max_allowed_packet';
4. Increase the value of the max_allowed_packet variable if it is lower than the size of the packet that is causing the MySQL 1236 error. This can be done by running the following command:
mysql> SET GLOBAL max_allowed_packet=1073741824;
5. Restart the MySQL server to apply the changes. This can be done by running the following command:
mysql> SYSTEMCTL RESTART MYSQL
6. Use an automated database observability tool to monitor and fix the MySQL 1236 in question. Automated database observability tools can help identify and diagnose MySQL errors quickly and accurately.
