PT-MYSQL-SUMMARY(1) User Contributed Perl Documentation PT-MYSQL-SUMMARY(1)NAMEpt-mysql-summary - Summarize MySQL information nicely.
SYNOPSIS
Usage: pt-mysql-summary [OPTIONS]
pt-mysql-summary conveniently summarizes the status and configuration
of a MySQL database server so that you can learn about it at a glance.
It is not a tuning tool or diagnosis tool. It produces a report that
is easy to diff and can be pasted into emails without losing the
formatting. It should work well on any modern UNIX systems.
RISKS
Percona Toolkit is mature, proven in the real world, and well tested,
but all database tools can pose a risk to the system and the database
server. Before using this tool, please:
· Read the tool's documentation
· Review the tool's known "BUGS"
· Test the tool on a non-production server
· Backup your production server and verify the backups
DESCRIPTIONpt-mysql-summary works by connecting to a MySQL database server and
querying it for status and configuration information. It saves these
bits of data into files in a temporary directory, and then formats them
neatly with awk and other scripting languages.
To use, simply execute it. Optionally add a double dash and then the
same command-line options you would use to connect to MySQL, such as
the following:
pt-mysql-summary --user=root
The tool interacts minimally with the server upon which it runs. It
assumes that you'll run it on the same server you're inspecting, and
therefore it assumes that it will be able to find the my.cnf
configuration file, for example. However, it should degrade gracefully
if this is not the case. Note, however, that its output does not
indicate which information comes from the MySQL database and which
comes from the host operating system, so it is possible for confusing
output to be generated if you run the tool on one server and connect to
a MySQL database server running on another server.
OUTPUT
Many of the outputs from this tool are deliberately rounded to show
their magnitude but not the exact detail. This is called fuzzy-
rounding. The idea is that it does not matter whether a server is
running 918 queries per second or 921 queries per second; such a small
variation is insignificant, and only makes the output hard to compare
to other servers. Fuzzy-rounding rounds in larger increments as the
input grows. It begins by rounding to the nearest 5, then the nearest
10, nearest 25, and then repeats by a factor of 10 larger (50, 100,
250), and so on, as the input grows.
The following is a sample of the report that the tool produces:
# Percona Toolkit MySQL Summary Report #######################

12347 /tmp/12347/data 0 0 /tmp/12347.sock
The first two sections show which server the report was generated on
and which MySQL instances are running on the server. This is detected
from the output of "ps" and does not always detect all instances and
parameters, but often works well. From this point forward, the report
will be focused on a single MySQL instance, although several instances
may appear in the above paragraph.

This section is a quick summary of the MySQL instance: version, uptime,
and other very basic parameters. The Time output is generated from the
MySQL server, unlike the system date and time printed earlier, so you
can see whether the database and operating system times match.
# Processlist ################################################

This section is a summary of the output from SHOW PROCESSLIST. Each
sub-section is aggregated by a different item, which is shown as the
first column heading. When summarized by Command, every row in SHOW
PROCESSLIST is included, but otherwise, rows whose Command is Sleep are
excluded from the SUM and MAX columns, so they do not skew the numbers
too much. In the example shown, the server is idle except for this tool
itself, and one connected replica, which is executing Binlog Dump.
The columns are the number of rows included, the number that are not in
Sleep status, the sum of the Time column, and the maximum Time column.
The numbers are fuzzy-rounded.
# Status Counters (Wait 10 Seconds) ##########################
Variable Per day Per second 10 secs
Binlog_cache_disk_use 4
Binlog_cache_use 80
Bytes_received 15000000 175 200
Bytes_sent 15000000 175 2000
Com_admin_commands 1
...................(many lines omitted)............................
Threads_created 40 1
Uptime 90000 1 1
This section shows selected counters from two snapshots of SHOW GLOBAL
STATUS, gathered approximately 10 seconds apart and fuzzy-rounded. It
includes only items that are incrementing counters; it does not include
absolute numbers such as the Threads_running status variable, which
represents a current value, rather than an accumulated number over
time.
The first column is the variable name, and the second column is the
counter from the first snapshot divided by 86400 (the number of seconds
in a day), so you can see the magnitude of the counter's change per
day. 86400 fuzzy-rounds to 90000, so the Uptime counter should always
be about 90000.
The third column is the value from the first snapshot, divided by
Uptime and then fuzzy-rounded, so it represents approximately how
quickly the counter is growing per-second over the uptime of the
server.
The third column is the incremental difference from the first and
second snapshot, divided by the difference in uptime and then fuzzy-
rounded. Therefore, it shows how quickly the counter is growing per
second at the time the report was generated.
# Table cache ################################################

This section shows the size of the table cache, followed by the
percentage of the table cache in use. The usage is fuzzy-rounded.

This section shows features that are available in Percona Server and
whether they are enabled or not. In the example shown, the server is
standard MySQL, not Percona Server, so the features are generally not
supported.

followed by the percentage of the cache in use and the hit-to-insert
ratio. The latter two are fuzzy-rounded.

If you specify "--databases" or "--all-databases", the tool will print
the above section. This summarizes the number and type of objects in
the databases. It is generated by running "mysqldump --no-data", not by
querying the INFORMATION_SCHEMA, which can freeze a busy server.
The first sub-report in the section is the count of objects by type in
each database: tables, views, and so on. The second one shows how many
tables use various storage engines in each database. The third sub-
report shows the number of each type of indexes in each database.
The last section shows the number of columns of various data types in
each database. For compact display, the column headers are formatted
vertically, so you need to read downwards from the top. In this
example, the first column is "char" and the second column is
"timestamp". This example is truncated so it does not wrap on a
terminal.
All of the numbers in this portion of the output are exact, not fuzzy-
rounded.

This section shows important configuration variables for the InnoDB
storage engine. The buffer pool fill percent and dirty percent are
fuzzy-rounded. The last few lines are derived from the output of SHOW
INNODB STATUS. It is likely that this output will change in the future
to become more useful.

# The End ####################################################
This section shows a pretty-printed version of the my.cnf file, with
comments removed and with whitespace added to align things for easy
reading. The tool tries to detect the my.cnf file by looking at the
output of ps, and if it does not find the location of the file there,
it tries common locations until it finds a file. Note that this file
might not actually correspond with the server from which the report was
generated. This can happen when the tool isn't run on the same server
it's reporting on, or when detecting the location of the configuration
file fails.
