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 5.2.4, "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

           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, 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
            insert into t1 select * from t1
