MySQL Error 1373: Missing Binlog Target
Description
This error indicates that MySQL cannot locate a specific binary log file (the 'target log') that it needs for operations like replication or point-in-time recovery. It typically occurs when the database server attempts to read a binlog entry that is not referenced in its binary log index file or the actual log file is missing.
Error Message

Known Causes

Missing Binlog File
A required binary log file, essential for replication or recovery, is physically absent from its expected location on the server.
Configuration Mismatch
Server configuration settings for binary logging or retention might be misconfigured, leading to logs being unavailable when needed.
