How It Affects Your App
This error indicates that the heartbeat value set for the slave is lower than the minimum allowed value. This can cause the slave to miss updates from the master, resulting in data inconsistency between the master and slave. This can lead to data loss or corruption, as well as incorrect query results. Additionally, the application may experience performance issues due to the slave not being able to keep up with the master.
How To Fix
1. Check the error log for the MySQL 1703 error:
$ tail -f /var/log/mysql/error.log
2. Check the MySQL configuration file for any misconfigurations:
$ cat /etc/mysql/my.cnf
3. Check the MySQL process list to see if any processes are running that shouldn't be:
$ mysqladmin -u root -p processlist
4. Check the MySQL user table to see if any users have been added that shouldn't be:
$ mysql -u root -p -e "SELECT * FROM mysql.user;"
5. Check the MySQL grant tables to see if any privileges have been granted that shouldn't be:
$ mysql -u root -p -e "SELECT * FROM mysql.db;"
6. Check the MySQL system variables to see if any variables have been set that shouldn't be:
$ mysql -u root -p -e "SHOW VARIABLES;"
