MYSQLDUMPSLOW(1) MySQL Database System MYSQLDUMPSLOW(1)

NAME

mysqldumpslow - Summarize slow query log files

SYNOPSIS

mysqldumpslow [options] [log_file ...]

DESCRIPTION

The MySQL slow query log contains information about queries that take a long time to execute (see Section 5.4.5, “The Slow Query Log”). mysqldumpslow parses MySQL slow query log files and summarizes their contents.

Normally, mysqldumpslow groups queries that are similar except for the particular values of number and string data values. It “abstracts” these values to N and 'S' when displaying summary output. To modify value abstracting behavior, use the -a and -n options.

Invoke mysqldumpslow like this:

shell> mysqldumpslow [options] [log_file ...]

Example of usage:

shell> mysqldumpslow
Reading mysql slow query log from /usr/local/mysql/data/mysqld57-slow.log
Count: 1  Time=4.32s (4s)  Lock=0.00s (0s)  Rows=0.0 (0), root[root]@localhost


 insert into t2 select * from t1
Count: 3  Time=2.53s (7s)  Lock=0.00s (0s)  Rows=0.0 (0), root[root]@localhost


 insert into t2 select * from t1 limit N
Count: 3  Time=2.13s (6s)  Lock=0.00s (0s)  Rows=0.0 (0), root[root]@localhost


 insert into t1 select * from t1

•--debug, -d

•-i name

•-l

Do not subtract lock time from total time.

•-n N

Abstract numbers with at least N digits within names.

•-r

Reverse the sort order.

•-s sort_type

How to sort the output. The value of sort_type should be chosen from the following list:

•t, at: Sort by query time or average query time

•l, al: Sort by lock time or average lock time

•r, ar: Sort by rows sent or average rows sent

•c: Sort by count

By default, mysqldumpslow sorts by average query time (equivalent to -s at).
