MYSQLDUMPSLOW

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:

mysqldumpslow [options] [log_file ...]

Example output with no options given:

Reading mysql slow query log from /usr/local/mysql/data/mysqld80-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

mysqldumpslow supports the following options.

• --help

Command-Line Format

--help

Display a help message and exit.

• -a

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

• --debug, -d

This option is available only if MySQL was built using WITH_DEBUG. MySQL release binaries provided by Oracle are not built using this option.

• -g pattern

Type

String

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

• -h host_name

Type	String
Default Value	*

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

• -i name

Type

String

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

• -l Do not subtract lock time from total time.

• -n N

Type

Numeric

Abstract numbers with at least N digits within names.

• -r Reverse the sort order.

• -s sort_type

Type	String
Default Value	at

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).

• -t N

Type

Numeric

Display only the first N queries in the output.

• --verbose, -v

Command-Line Format

--verbose

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