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 went

            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
