What’s New

Performance Tasks
In Workbench
Monitor
Assess
OptimizeTune
Configure

Start by looking at Server Status
 Management Tab – Server Status

Basics
• Enabled/Disabled
Features
 Directory Setup
 On best disks?
 Adequate space?
 Slow Query Log On?

Availability
Use a decent query
Logs
Logs filling up disk space
Slow query log filling space
Disk Space
Disks getting full is the most common problem
Ideally alarm on how soon disk space changes rather than absolute disk space
13

Stalls / Spikes
Table Locks
CPU Spikes
Memory Paging
Connections
Are you reaching max_connections limit?
Can the application connect?
Processes
Long running Processes
14

Transactions
Long running or long idle transactions
Queued transactions (size of trans queue) (show innodb status)
Replication
Is Replication running
Whats the replication lag
15

Query Performance
Top Queries to optimise – (interactive monitor not generate alerts on)
Response time outliers
Queries not using index
Queries using full/ partial scans / table scans
Queries that return errors / warning
Operational Aspects
Server restarts
Server config change events
Messages in the error Log
16

Backup Strategy – Will your backups be suitable for purpose
MySQLdump - It can be used to dump a database or a collection of databases for backup or transfer to
another SQL server (not necessarily a MySQL server). The dump typically contains SQL statements to
create the table, populate it, or both. However, mysqldumpcan also be used to generate files in CSV,
other delimited text, or XML format.
MySQL Enterprise Backup - "Hot" Online Backups - Backups take place entirely online, without
interrupting MySQL transactions
High Performance - Save time with faster backup and recovery
Incremental Backup - Backup only data that has changed since the last backup
Partial Backup - Target particular tables or tablespaces
Full Instance Backup - Backs up data, as well as configuration and other information to easily create a
complete "replica"

High Availability – Does the uptime requirements match the design?
See Planning for outages section ;-) But always good to refer back to the
original design spec!
19

Failover – Have you got the policies and
procedures in place to failover to a backup
data center or server?
Most HA strategies fail not due to the
hardware or software, but to the lack of
awareness and testing of policies and
procedures in place!

Growth – Have you planned for growth of data and throughput?

Hardware: The Perfect MySQL Server
• The more cores the better (especially for 5.5 and later)
• x86_64 - 64 bit for more memory is important
– The more the better
• Fast HD (10-15k RPM SATA) or NAS/SAN……
– RAID 10 for most, RAID 5 OK if very read intensive
– Hardware RAID battery backed up cache critical!
– More disks are always better! - 4+ recommended, 8-16 can increase IO
• …Or SSD (for higher throughput)
– Intel, Fusion-IO good choices; good option for Slaves
• At least 2 x NICs for redundancy
• Slaves should be as powerful as the Master

Config Options
The MySQL server is controlled by “System Variables”
• Set Via:
– my.cnf / my.ini
– SET [GLOBAL] <variable>=<value>
– client, i.e mysql
• Can be local (session) or global
The World’s Most Popular Open Source DatabaseCopyright 2010 Oracle

Schemas
• Size = performance, smaller is better
– Size right! Do not automatically use 255 for VARCHAR
• Temp tables, most caches, expand to full size
• Use “procedure analyse” to determine the optimal types given the values in your table
– http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/procedure-analyse.html
– mysql> select * from tab procedure analyse (64,2000) G
• Consider the types:
– enum : http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/enum.html
– set : http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/set.html
• Compress large strings
– Use the MySQL COMPRESS and UNCOMPRESS functions

InnoDB Tuning
• Unlike MyISAM - InnoDB uses a single cache for both index and data
– innodb_buffer_pool_size - should be 70-80% of available memory.
– It is not uncommon for this to be very large, i.e. 34GB on a system with 40GB of memory
– Make sure its not set so large as to cause swapping!
– mysql>show status like 'Innodb_buffer%' ;
• InnoDB can use direct IO on systems that support it - Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris
– innodb_flush_method = O_DIRECT
• For more InnoDB tuning see
– http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/innodb-tuning-troubleshooting.html
