It appears overnight our Master RDS mysql server went offline for 3-4 minutes. When it came back online the replication was broken.
On the slave, issuing SHOW SLAVE STATUS\G;
"Got fatal error 1236 from master when reading data from binary log: 'Client requested master to start replication from impossible position'"
In AWS monitoring, slave lag shows "-1.0".
Is there a way to get the slave replication restarted, or should I just create a new slave?
There's really no harm in just spooling up a new slave, so I'd go that route.
