How Do I View All SQL Logs Executed by MySQL?

You can use the visualized database management service Data Admin Service (DAS) to quickly search for target SQL execution records. You can also use the SQL audit function of RDS to query all SQL operation records.

Querying SQL Logs Through DAS

  1. Log in to the management console.
  2. Click in the upper left corner and select a region and a project.
  3. Click Service List. Under Database, click Relational Database Service. The RDS console is displayed.
  4. On the Instance Management page, locate the target DB instance and click Log In in the Operation column.
  5. On the displayed login page, enter the correct username and password and click Log In.
  6. On the top menu bar, choose SQL Operations > SQL History.
  7. On the displayed page, search for execution information about the target SQL statement by time range, database name, or keyword.

    • To access the Database Management, click a database name.
    • To copy and use your required SQL statements, click the SQL statement in the SQL Statement column.
    • To directly execute a SQL statement, click Open in SQL Window in the Operation column.

Querying SQL Logs Through RDS

  1. Log in to the management console.
  2. Click in the upper left corner and select a region and a project.
  3. Click Service List. Under Database, click Relational Database Service. The RDS console is displayed.
  4. On the Instance Management page, click the target DB instance.
  5. In the navigation pane on the left, choose SQL Audits. On the displayed page, select a time range in the upper right corner, select SQL audit logs to be downloaded in the list, and click Download above the list to download SQL audit logs in batches.

    Alternatively, select an audit log and click Download in the Operation column to download one SQL audit log.
