通常，MySQL将错误日志输出在hostname.err文件中，但MySQL5.7可以将错误日志打印到操作系统日志中，具体操作如下：
 MySQL服务器启动的时候，mysqld_safe加 --syslog参数，如下：
 启动MySQL服务：
[root@mysql log]# /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe --defaults-file=/etc/my.cnf --syslog --user=mysql &
[1] 17994
[root@mysql log]# 2017-07-21T04:05:12.802731Z mysqld_safe Logging to syslog.
2017-07-21T04:05:12.807548Z mysqld_safe Logging to '/var/log/mysqld.log'.
2017-07-21T04:05:12.828189Z mysqld_safe Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /mysql/data
[root@mysql log]# 

查看系统日志：
[root@mysql log]# tail -f /var/log/messages
