  server-id = 1
  # Row format required for ZongJi
  binlog_format = row
  # Directory must exist. This path works for Linux. Other OS may require
  # different path.
  log_bin = /var/log/mysql/mysql-bin.log
  
  binlog_do_db     = dota2botdb  # Optional, limit which databases to log
  expire_logs_days = 10          # Optional, purge old logs
  max_binlog_size  = 100M        # Optional, limit log size
