Debugging MySQL Performance

MySQL is a great database, but
instrumentation sucks
Slow query log SHOW ENGINE

INNODB STATUS
OS STATS
SHOW
PROCESSLIST

I think there is a problem with
the database
• Identify timeframe (use trending tools)

• Collect data during incident
• Collect more data
• Collect as much data as you can!
• Try to make sense of it
• Tune settings, SQL, hardware. Did it help?
• I think there is a problem with database...

Tools that may help you
• pt-stalk (http://www.percona.com/doc/percona-
toolkit/2.1/pt-stalk.html)
• innotop (http://code.google.com/p/innotop/)
• Or you write your own stuff

What do “Big Boys” have?
• Oracle: SQL-traces,
kernel events timings,
tons of books on
performance tuning
• SQL Server: SQL

profiler, Data
Management Views,
Extended Events,tons
of books on
performance tuning

Performance Schema in MySQL 5.5

The Idea
• Executing a query is broken down to hundreds of

smaller tasks
• There are background tasks as well
• We want to instrument it all to know where server

is spending time
10

Implementation
• Instrumentation: measuring when event begins

and ends
• Implemented in MySQL code on server end

storage engine level
• Can be enabled/disabled or customized

No free lunch: PFS overhead
• Instrumentation doesn’t come for free

• In CPU-bound workloads overhead can
be ~15-20%
• In IO-bound — 5%-8%
• Significant improvements in 5.6
24

Performance Schema in MySQL 5.6

What’s new in 5.6?
• performance_schema enabled by default!

• Less overhead: 5%-10% for CPU-bound
workload
• Statements, Stages, Actors and Objects
26

Actors: filter event’s by user

Summary. Pros.
• Provides insight into internal server

metric
• Flexible
• Relational model allows to build your own
views on top of this data
30

Summary. Cons.
• Steep learning curve: not very well

documented
• Overhead for CPU-bound loads can be

significant
