MARIADB-DUMPSLOW(1) MariaDB Database System MARIADB-DUMPSLOW(1)

mariadb-dumpslow - Summarize slow query log files (mysqldumpslow is now a symlink to mariadb-dumpslow)

mysqldumpslow [options] [log_file ...]

The MariaDB slow query log contains information about queries that take a long time to execute. mysqldumpslow parses MariaDB slow query log files and prints a summary of 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. The -a and -n options can be used to modify value abstracting behavior.

Invoke mysqldumpslow like this:

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

mysqldumpslow supports the following options.

•--help

Display a help message and exit.

•-a

Do not abstract all numbers to N and strings to 'S'.

•--debug, -d

Run in debug mode.

•-g pattern

Consider only queries that match the (grep-style) pattern.

•-h host_name

Host name of MariaDB server for *-slow.log file name. The value can contain a wildcard. The default is * (match all).

•-i name

Name of server instance (if using mysql.server startup script).

•-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, aa: Sort by rows affected or average rows affected
•l, ae: Sort by rows examined or aggregate rows examined
•l, at: Sort by query time or average query time
•l, al: Sort by lock time or average lock time
•s, as: Sort by rows sent or average rows sent
•c: Sort by count
•-t N

Display only the first N queries in the output.

•--verbose, -v

Verbose mode. Print more information about what the program does.

Example of usage:

shell> mysqldumpslow
Reading mysql slow query log from /usr/local/mysql/data/mysqld51-apple-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
