mysqldumpslow - Man Page

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.
