Allow KafkaCDC to read binlogs from a slave

Hi,

is it possible for KafkaCDC router to read binlogs from slave?

I have master-slave replication with binlog_format=MIXED. I want to create new Maxcale instance that will read from one slave, which has binlogs in ROW format.

When i set the slave to the KafkaCDC servers config parameter, no events are sent to the Kafka. No error messages are in the log.

[Kafka-CDC]

type=service

router=kafkacdc

servers=db-addr-03

user=user

password=pwd

server_id=1

bootstrap_servers=cluster-kafka-bootstrap.kafka:9092

topic=db-data-changes

gtid=newest

read_gtid_from_kafka=false

match=/regex/

The db-addr-03 is address of the slave with binlogs enabled in ROW format. Binary logs on the slave are present.

Is reading binlogs from slave even supported, or does it have to be from master?

Thanks.
