MariaDB Agent for Gluesync: Key Features & Support

Index

Core principles

This agent establishes a connection to MariaDB via a built-in JDBC driver.

Change data capture

This agent implements the scraping of Bin log’s transaction logs by connecting to your master, slave or MaxScale instances depending on the desired configuration.

Supported version

With this agent, you can target any version of MariaDB.

Platform supported features

Feature	Support	Notes
Target role	✅	Streams data to MariaDB via the built-in JDBC driver with TLS, pooling and DBaaS compatibility.
Source role	✅	Scrapes Binlog events from master, replica or MaxScale nodes over TCP sockets.
Snapshots	✅	Works with Core Hub snapshot tasks for initial loads and ad-hoc refreshes.
CDC	✅	Continuously captures Binlog changes for near real-time replication.
CDC type	Transaction logs (Binlog)	Uses MariaDB/MySQL binary log streaming semantics.
Bulk load	✅	Supports staging-table Bulk load workflows for high-volume mirroring into MariaDB.
Source persisted internal cache	✅	This agent supports locally in-agent persistence see Source agent caching layer.
Target persisted internal cache	N/A	Writes are flushed directly to MariaDB without additional local caching.
Driver / connector	Built-in JDBC driver	Vendor-certified JDBC driver bundled with Gluesync, MariaDB official driver.
Chains	N/A	Not yet supported.
Truncate operation support (reading)	✅	Source agent can capture and forward TRUNCATE operations to the target.
Truncate operation support (writing)	✅	Target agent honors the Core Hub “TRUNCATE before snapshot” option when enabled.

Q&A

I am connecting towards an AWS RDS instance, is it supported? Yes, it is. MariaDB RDS instances are supported as well as AWS Aurora MySQL-compatible instances. Remember to enable SSL connection during agent’s setup phase.

I have got MariaDB running under a managed DBaaS offered from AWS | CGP | Azure | OCI | …, is it supported? Yes, they are. Just make sure you have enabled transaction logs - Bin log - redaction support.
