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 5.2.5, “The Slow Query Log”). mysqldumpslow parses MySQL 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 MySQL server for *-slow.log file name. The value can contain a wildcare. 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 · 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.
