    Description

      A switchover attempt can fail with the following error message that doesn't really provide any clues about the problem:

      > maxctrl call command mariadbmon switchover MariaMonitor host2 host1
      Error: Server at localhost:8989 responded with status code 403 to `POST maxscale/modules/mariadbmon/switchover?MariaMonitor&host2&host1`:{
      "errors": [
      {
      "detail": "Demotion failed due to an error in updating gtid:s."
      },
      {
      "detail": "Switchover host1 -> host2 failed."
      }
      ]
      }
      

      The error log doesn't contain any helpful clues either:

      2018-03-19 14:17:08 notice : [mariadbmon] Stopped the monitor MariaMonitor for the duration of switchover.
      2018-03-19 14:17:08 notice : [mariadbmon] Demoting server 'host1'.
      2018-03-19 14:17:08 error : [mariadbmon] Demotion failed due to an error in updating gtid:s.
      2018-03-19 14:17:08 error : [mariadbmon] Switchover host1 -> host2 failed.
      

      Is this a bug, or some kind of legitimate failure? If it is a legitimate failure, then it seems like we could improve the error log message to provide more clues about what may have gone wrong.

      It looks like the error message is printed here:

      https://github.com/mariadb-corporation/MaxScale/blob/2178667245d05802a0a5946b485891bfeff01da0/server/modules/monitor/mariadbmon/mariadbmon.cc#L4119

      But I suspect that the actual failure is occurring somewhere in here:

      https://github.com/mariadb-corporation/MaxScale/blob/2178667245d05802a0a5946b485891bfeff01da0/server/modules/monitor/mariadbmon/mariadbmon.cc#L4016

      It looks like all of the GTID-related variables have sane values.

      host1:

      gtid_binlog_pos	1-20-8672,2-2-14751
      gtid_binlog_state	1-20-8672,2-2-14751
      gtid_current_pos	1-20-8672,2-2-14751,3-3-4
      gtid_domain_id	1
      gtid_ignore_duplicates	OFF
      gtid_pos_auto_engines	
      gtid_slave_pos	1-1-8575,2-2-14751,3-3-4
      gtid_strict_mode	ON
      

      host2:

      gtid_binlog_pos	1-20-8676,2-2-14751
      gtid_binlog_state	1-21-132,1-20-8676,2-2-14751
      gtid_current_pos	1-20-8676,2-2-14751,3-3-4
      gtid_domain_id	1
      gtid_ignore_duplicates	OFF
      gtid_pos_auto_engines	
      gtid_slave_pos	1-20-8676,2-2-14751,3-3-4
      gtid_strict_mode	ON
      

      And SHOW SLAVE STATUS also looks fine:
