Need help to read GRA_x_abc.log files

Hi,

I am trying to read some GRA logfiles found on my percona galera xtradb cluster. But I am having troubles to read the files that being generated.
I created a mysqlbinlog header file from one of the mysqlbinlogs and created a new file to read with the mysqlbinlog command. But instead of seeing what I expect, it responsed with:

/*!50530 SET @@SESSION.PSEUDO_SLAVE_MODE=1*/;
/*!50003 SET @OLD_COMPLETION_TYPE=@@COMPLETION_TYPE,COMPLETION_TYPE=0*/;
DELIMITER /*!*/;

Where I expected to see my transaction that failed, I see:

ERROR: Error in Log_event::read_log_event(): 'Found invalid event in binary log', data_len: 67, event_type: 19

What am I missing in this?
I followed an “ancient” blog post found: [URL]https://www.percona.com/blog/2012/12/19/percona-xtradb-cluster-pxc-what-about-gra_-log-files/[/URL]

My environment:
OS: Ubuntu 18.04
Percona Version: 5.7.26-31.37-1.bionic

Steps I’ve done to create the mysqlbinlog file:

  • head -c 123 mysql-bin.000001 > GRA_HEADER
  • cat GRA_HEADER > GRA_2_2950998.log
  • cat /var/lib/mysql/GRA_1_2903960 >> GRA_2_2950998.log
  • file GRA_2_2950998.log
    GRA_2_2950998.log: MySQL replication log, server id 500 MySQL V5+, server version 5.7.26-29-57-log

Thanks for the help.

Rene
