Quick Performance CheckPresented by: Wayne Leutwyler

When a quick look is needed.

Weekday management fire drill.

2am OnCall page.

Unhappy customer calls you to complain about response time.

Or anytime you just want to see how a certain database server is performing.

The Views.

v_InnoBPHitRate

v_table_cache_used

v_table_definition_cache_use

v_thread_cache_hit

v_thread_cache_used

v_tmp_to_disk

Below are 6 views that I find very useful for day today performance check, or the 2am issue.

v_InnoBPHitRateCREATE

ALGORITHM = UNDEFINED

DEFINER = `wayne`@`localhost`

SQL SECURITY DEFINER

VIEW `v_InnoBPHitRate` AS

select

round((100 - ((100 * `P2`.`VARIABLE_VALUE`) / `P1`.`VARIABLE_VALUE`)),

2) AS `InnoBP Hit Rate`,

`P2`.`VARIABLE_VALUE` AS `InnoBP Read Requests (from disk)`,

`P1`.`VARIABLE_VALUE` AS `InnoBP Reads (from BP)`

from

(`information_schema`.`GLOBAL_STATUS` `P1`

join `information_schema`.`GLOBAL_STATUS` `P2`)

where

((`P1`.`VARIABLE_NAME` = 'innodb_buffer_pool_read_requests')

and (`P2`.`VARIABLE_NAME` = 'innodb_buffer_pool_reads'))

I have always gone with 50%of total server ram for my InnoDBbuffer pool. Recommendations range from 50% to 80%.

v_table_cache_usedCREATE

ALGORITHM = UNDEFINED

DEFINER = `wayne`@`localhost`

SQL SECURITY DEFINER

VIEW `v_table_cache_used` AS

select

round(((`information_schema`.`global_status`.`VARIABLE_VALUE` /

`information_schema`.`GLOBAL_VARIABLES`.`VARIABLE_VALUE`) * 100),

2) AS `Table Cache % Used`

from

join `information_schema`.`GLOBAL_VARIABLES`)

where

((`information_schema`.`global_status`.`VARIABLE_NAME` = 'opened_tables')

and (`information_schema`.`GLOBAL_VARIABLES`.`VARIABLE_NAME` = 'table_open_cache'))

and (`information_schema`.`GLOBAL_VARIABLES`.`VARIABLE_NAME` = 'table_definition_cache'))

Above 100% adjust:table_definition_cache

v_thread_cache_hit

Below 90% adjust:thread_cache_size

v_thread_cache_usedCREATE

v_tmp_to_diskCREATE

join `information_schema`.`global_status` `p2`)

where

and (`p2`.`VARIABLE_NAME` = 'CREATED_TMP_TABLES'))

If percent is 25% or higher adjust:tmp_table_sizemax_heap_table_size

When you cant find an issue with the DB, time to check the system.
