NAME
****
pt-checksum-filter - Filter checksums from pt-table-checksum.
********
SYNOPSIS
********
Usage: pt-checksum-filter [OPTION]... FILE
pt-checksum-filter filters checksums from pt-table-checksum and prints those
that differ. With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input.
Examples:
.. code-block:: perl
pt-checksum-filter checksums.txt
pt-table-checksum host1 host2 | pt-checksum-filter
pt-checksum-filter db1-checksums.txt db2-checksums.txt --ignore-databases
*****
RISKS
*****
The following section is included to inform users about the potential risks,
whether known or unknown, of using this tool. The two main categories of risks
are those created by the nature of the tool (e.g. read-only tools vs. read-write
tools) and those created by bugs.
pt-checksum-filter is read-only and very low-risk.
At the time of this release, we know of no bugs that could cause serious harm to
users.
The authoritative source for updated information is always the online issue
tracking system. Issues that affect this tool will be marked as such. You can
see a list of such issues at the following URL:
`http://www.percona.com/bugs/pt-checksum-filter <http://www.percona.com/bugs/pt-checksum-filter>`_.
See also "BUGS" for more information on filing bugs and getting help.
***********
DESCRIPTION
***********
This program takes the unsorted, verbose output from pt-table-checksum and
sorts it, then filters it so you only see lines that have different checksums
or counts.
You can pipe input directly into it from pt-table-checksum, or you can
save the pt-table-checksum's output and run pt-checksum-filter on the
resulting file(s). If you run it against just one file, or pipe output
directly into it, it'll output results during processing. Processing multiple
files is slightly more expensive, and you won't see any output until they're
all read.
***********
EXIT STATUS
***********
An exit status of 0 (sometimes also called a return value or return code)
indicates that no differences were found. If there were any differences, the
tool exits with status 1.
*******
OPTIONS
*******
"--ignore-databases" and "--equal-databases" are mutually exclusive.
This tool accepts additional command-line arguments. Refer to the
"SYNOPSIS" and usage information for details.
--equal-databases
type: Hash
This comma-separated list of databases are equal.
These database names are always considered to have the same tables. In other
words, this makes \ ``database1.table1.chunk1``\ equal to \ ``database2.table1.chunk1``\
if they have the same checksum.
This disables incremental processing, so you won't see any results until all
input is processed.
--header
short form: -h
Preserves headers output by pt-table-checksum.
--help
Show help and exit.
--ignore-databases
Ignore the database name when comparing lines.
This disables incremental processing, so you won't see any results until all
input is processed.
--master
type: string
The name of the master server.
Specifies which host is the replication master, and sorts lines for that host
first, so you can see the checksum values on the master server before the
slave.
--unique
type: string
Show unique differing host/db/table names.
The argument must be one of host, db, or table.
--verbose
short form: -v
Output all lines, even those that have no differences, except for header lines.
--version
Show version and exit.
***********
ENVIRONMENT
***********
The environment variable \ ``PTDEBUG``\ enables verbose debugging output to STDERR.
To enable debugging and capture all output to a file, run the tool like:
.. code-block:: perl
PTDEBUG=1 pt-checksum-filter ... > FILE 2>&1
Be careful: debugging output is voluminous and can generate several megabytes
of output.
*******************
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
*******************
You need Perl, DBI, DBD::mysql, and some core packages that ought to be
installed in any reasonably new version of Perl.

pt-profile-compact - Compact the output from pt-query-profiler.
********
SYNOPSIS
********
Usage: pt-profile-compact [OPTION...] [FILE...]
pt-profile-compact aligns query profiler results side by side for easy
comparison. With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read from standard input.
To view queries 2, 4 and 6 side by side:
.. code-block:: perl
pt-profile-compact --queries 2,4,6 profile-results.txt

***********
DESCRIPTION
***********
pt-profile-compact slices and aligns the output from pt-query-profiler
so you can compare profile results side by side easily. It prints the first
profile result intact, but each subsequent result is trimmed to be as narrow
as possible, then aligned next to the first.
You can also use this to examine only some profile results. For example, if
you have a set of queries to get a table into a known state, and then a query
you want to profile, you can ignore the setup queries. This is typically easy
to do with a command-line option like "--queries" 4,8,12,16,20 to view
every 4th query.
If the first profile it sees is labeled QUERY X, it will only look at QUERY
profiles from then on. The same holds for SUMMARY profiles. This is because
there are different numbers of lines in QUERY and SUMMARY profiles. You can
specify which kind of profile result you want to process. See
pt-query-profiler for the full list of types.
*******
OPTIONS

NAME
****
pt-query-profiler - Execute SQL statements and print statistics, or measure activity caused by other processes.
********
SYNOPSIS
********
Usage: pt-query-profiler [OPTION...] [FILE...]
pt-query-profiler reads and executes queries, and prints statistics about
MySQL server load. Connection options are read from MySQL option files.
If FILE is given, queries are read and executed from the file(s). With no
FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input. If --external is specified,
lines in FILE are executed by the shell. You must specify - if no FILE and
you want --external to read and execute from standard input. Queries in
FILE must be terminated with a semicolon and separated by a blank line.
pt-query-profiler can profile the (semicolon-terminated, blank-line
separated) queries in a file:
.. code-block:: perl
pt-query-profiler queries.sql
cat queries.sql | pt-query-profiler
pt-query-profiler -vv queries.sql
pt-query-profiler -v --separate --only 2,5,6 queries.sql
pt-query-profiler --tab queries.sql > results.csv
It can also just observe what happens in the server:
.. code-block:: perl
pt-query-profiler --external
Or it can run shell commands from a file and measure the result:
.. code-block:: perl
pt-query-profiler --external commands.txt
pt-query-profiler --external - < commands.txt
Read "HOW TO INTERPRET" to learn what it all means.

The following section is included to inform users about the potential risks,
whether known or unknown, of using this tool. The two main categories of risks
are those created by the nature of the tool (e.g. read-only tools vs. read-write
tools) and those created by bugs.
pt-query-profiler is generally read-only and very low risk. It will execute FLUSH TABLES if you specify "--flush".
At the time of this release, we know of no bugs that could cause serious harm to
users.
The authoritative source for updated information is always the online issue
tracking system. Issues that affect this tool will be marked as such. You can
see a list of such issues at the following URL:
`http://www.percona.com/bugs/pt-query-profiler <http://www.percona.com/bugs/pt-query-profiler>`_.
See also "BUGS" for more information on filing bugs and getting help.
***********
DESCRIPTION
***********
pt-query-profiler reads a file containing one or more SQL statements or shell
commands, executes them, and analyzes the output of SHOW STATUS afterwards.
It then prints statistics about how the batch performed. For example, it can
show how many table scans the batch caused, how many page reads, how many
temporary tables, and so forth.
All command-line arguments are optional, but you must either specify a file
containing the batch to profile as the last argument, or specify that you're
profiling an external program with the "--external" option, or provide
input to STDIN.
If the file contains multiple statements, they must be separated by blank
lines. If you don't do that, pt-query-profiler won't be able to split the
file into individual queries, and MySQL will complain about syntax errors.
If the MySQL server version is before 5.0.2, you should make sure the server
is completely unused before trying to profile a batch. Prior to this version,
SHOW STATUS showed only global status variables, so other queries will
interfere and produce false results. pt-query-profiler will try to detect
if anything did interfere, but there can be no guarantees.
Prior to MySQL 5.0.2, InnoDB status variables are not available, and prior to
version 5.0.3, InnoDB row lock status variables are not available.
pt-query-profiler will omit any output related to these variables if they're not
available.
For more information about SHOW STATUS, read the relevant section of the MySQL
manual at
`http://dev.mysql.com/doc/en/server-status-variables.html <http://dev.mysql.com/doc/en/server-status-variables.html>`_
****************
HOW TO INTERPRET
****************
TAB-SEPARATED OUTPUT
====================
If you specify "--tab", you will get the raw output of SHOW STATUS in
tab-separated format, convenient for opening with a spreadsheet. This is not
the default output, but it's so much easier to describe that I'll cover it
first.
\*
Most of the command-line options for controlling verbosity and such are
ignored in --tab mode.
\*
The variable names you see in MySQL, such as 'Com_select', are kept --
there are no euphimisms, so you have to know your MySQL variables.
\*
The columns are Variable_name, Before, After1...AfterN, Calibration.
The Variable_name column is just what it sounds like. Before is the result
from the first run of SHOW STATUS. After1, After2, etc are the results of
running SHOW STATUS after each query in the batch. Finally, the last column
is the result of running SHOW STATUS just after the last AfterN column, so you
can see how much work SHOW STATUS itself causes.
\*
If you specify "--verbose", output includes every variable
pt-query-profiler measures. If not (default) it only includes variables where
there was some difference from one column to the next.
NORMAL OUTPUT
=============
If you don't specify --tab, you'll get a report formatted for human
readability. This is the default output format.
pt-query-profiler can output a lot of information, as you've seen if you
ran the examples in the "SYNOPSIS". What does it all mean?
First, there are two basic groups of information you might see: per-query and
summary. If your batch contains only one query, these will be the same and
you'll only see the summary. You can recognize the difference by looking for
centered, all-caps, boxed-in section headers. Externally profiled commands will
have EXTERNAL, individually profiled queries will have QUERY, and summary will
say SUMMARY.
Next, the information in each section is grouped into subsections, headed by
an underlined title. Each of these sections has varying information in it.
Which sections you see depends on command-line arguments and your MySQL
version. I'll explain each section briefly. If you really want to know where
the numbers come from, read
`http://dev.mysql.com/doc/en/server-status-variables.html <http://dev.mysql.com/doc/en/server-status-variables.html>`_.
You need to understand which numbers are insulated from other queries and
which are not. This depends on your MySQL version. Version 5.0.2 introduced
the concept of session status variables, so you can see information about only
your own connection. However, many variables aren't session-ized, so when you
have MySQL 5.0.2 or greater, you will actually see a mix of session and global
variables. That means other queries happening at the same time will pollute
some of your results. If you have MySQL versions older than 5.0.2, you won't
have ANY connection-specific stats, so your results will be polluted by other
queries no matter what. Because of the mixture of session and global
variables, by far the best way to profile is on a completely quiet server
where nothing else is interfering with your results.
While explaining the results in the sections that follow, I'll refer to a
value as "protected" if it comes from a session-specific variable and can be
relied upon to be accurate even on a busy server. Just keep in mind, if
you're not using MySQL 5.0.2 or newer, your results will be inaccurate unless
you're running against a totally quiet server, even if I label it as
"protected."
Overall stats
=============
This section shows the overall elapsed time for the query, as measured by
Perl, and the optimizer cost as reported by MySQL.
If you're viewing separate query statistics, this is all you'll see. If
you're looking at a summary, you'll also see a breakdown of the questions the
queries asked the server.
The execution time is not totally reliable, as it includes network round-trip
time, Perl's own execution time, and so on. However, on a low-latency
network, this should be fairly negligible, giving you a reasonable measure of
the query's time, especially for queries longer than a few tenths of a second.
The optimizer cost comes from the Last_query_cost variable, and is protected
from other connections in MySQL 5.0.7 and greater. It is not available before
5.0.1.
The total number of questions is not protected, but the breakdown of
individual question types is, because it comes from the \ ``Com_``\ status variables.
Table and index accesses
========================
This section shows you information about the batch's table and index-level
operations (as opposed to row-level operations, which will be in the next
section). The "Table locks acquired" and "Temp files" values are unprotected,
but everything else in this section is protected.
The "Potential filesorts" value is calculated as the number of times a query had
both a scan sort (Sort_scan) and created a temporary table (Created_tmp_tables).
There is no Sort_filesort or similar status value, so it's a best guess at
whether a query did a filesort. It should be fairly accurate.
If you specified "--allow-cache", you'll see statistics on the query cache.
These are unprotected.
Row operations
==============
These values are all about the row-level operations your batch caused. For
example, how many rows were inserted, updated, or deleted. You'll also see
row-level index access statistics, such as how many times the query sought and
read the next entry in an index.
Depending on your MySQL version, you'll either see one or two columns of
information in this section. The one headed "Handler" is all from the
\ ``Handler_``\ variables, and those statistics are protected. If your MySQL version
supports it, you'll also see a column headed "InnoDB," which is unprotected.
I/O Operations
==============
This section gives information on I/O operations your batch caused, both in
memory and on disk. Unless you have MySQL 5.0.2 or greater, you'll only see
information on the key cache. Otherwise, you'll see a lot of information on
InnoDB's I/O operations as well, such as how many times the query was able to
satisfy a read from the buffer pool and how many times it had to go to the
disk.
None of the information in this section is protected.
InnoDB Data Operations
======================
This section only appears when you're querying MySQL 5.0.2 or newer. None of
the information is protected. You'll see statistics about how many pages were
affected, how many operations took place, and how many bytes were affected.
*******
OPTIONS
*******
This tool accepts additional command-line arguments. Refer to the
"SYNOPSIS" and usage information for details.
--allow-cache
Let MySQL query cache cache the queries executed.
By default this is disabled. When enabled, cache profiling information is added
to the printout. See `http://dev.mysql.com/doc/en/query-cache.html <http://dev.mysql.com/doc/en/query-cache.html>`_ for more
information about the query cache.
--ask-pass
Prompt for a password when connecting to MySQL.
--[no]calibrate
default: yes
Try to compensate for \ ``SHOW STATUS``\ .
Measure and compensate for the "cost of observation" caused by running SHOW
STATUS. Only works reliably on a quiet server; on a busy server, other
processes can cause the calibration to be wrong.
--charset
short form: -A; type: string
Default character set. If the value is utf8, sets Perl's binmode on
STDOUT to utf8, passes the mysql_enable_utf8 option to DBD::mysql, and
runs SET NAMES UTF8 after connecting to MySQL. Any other value sets
binmode on STDOUT without the utf8 layer, and runs SET NAMES after
connecting to MySQL.
--config
type: Array
Read this comma-separated list of config files; if specified, this must be the
first option on the command line.
--database
short form: -D; type: string
Database to use for connection.
--defaults-file
short form: -F; type: string
Only read mysql options from the given file. You must give an absolute
pathname.
--external
Calibrate, then pause while an external program runs.
This is typically useful while you run an external program. When you press
[enter] pt-query-profiler will stop sleeping and take another measurement, then
print statistics as usual.
When there is a filename on the command line, pt-query-profiler executes
each line in the file as a shell command. If you give - as the filename,
pt-query-profiler reads from STDIN.
Output from shell commands is printed to STDOUT and terminated with __BEGIN__,
after which pt-query-profiler prints its own output.
--flush
cumulative: yes
Flush tables. Specify twice to do between every query.
Calls FLUSH TABLES before profiling. If you are executing queries from a
batch file, specifying --flush twice will cause pt-query-profiler to call
FLUSH TABLES between every query, not just once at the beginning. Default is
not to flush at all. See `http://dev.mysql.com/doc/en/flush.html <http://dev.mysql.com/doc/en/flush.html>`_ for more
information.
--help
Show help and exit.
--host
short form: -h; type: string
Connect to host.
--[no]innodb
default: yes
Show InnoDB statistics.
--only
type: hash
Only show statistics for this comma-separated list of queries or commands.
--password
short form: -p; type: string
Password to use when connecting.
--pid
type: string
Create the given PID file. The file contains the process ID of the script.
The PID file is removed when the script exits. Before starting, the script
checks if the PID file already exists. If it does not, then the script creates
and writes its own PID to it. If it does, then the script checks the following:
if the file contains a PID and a process is running with that PID, then
the script dies; or, if there is no process running with that PID, then the
script overwrites the file with its own PID and starts; else, if the file
contains no PID, then the script dies.
--port
short form: -P; type: int
Port number to use for connection.
--separate
Print stats separately for each query.
The default is to show only the summary of the entire batch. See also
"--verbose".
--[no]session
default: yes
Use session \ ``SHOW STATUS``\ and \ ``SHOW VARIABLES``\ .
Disabled if the server version doesn't support it.
--set-vars
type: string; default: wait_timeout=10000
Set these MySQL variables. Immediately after connecting to MySQL, this string
will be appended to SET and executed.
--socket
short form: -S; type: string
Socket file to use for connection.
--tab
Print tab-separated values instead of whitespace-aligned columns.
--user
short form: -u; type: string
User for login if not current user.
--verbose
short form: -v; cumulative: yes; default: 0
Verbosity; specify multiple times for more detailed output.
When "--tab" is given, prints variables that don't change. Otherwise
increasing the level of verbosity includes extra sections in the output.
--verify
Verify nothing else is accessing the server.
This is a weak verification; it simply calibrates twice (see
"--[no]calibrate") and verifies that the cost of observation remains
constant.
--version
Show version and exit.
***********
DSN OPTIONS
***********
These DSN options are used to create a DSN. Each option is given like
\ ``option=value``\ . The options are case-sensitive, so P and p are not the
same option. There cannot be whitespace before or after the \ ``=``\ and
if the value contains whitespace it must be quoted. DSN options are
comma-separated. See the percona-toolkit manpage for full details.
\* A
dsn: charset; copy: yes
Default character set.
\* D
dsn: database; copy: yes
Default database.
\* F
dsn: mysql_read_default_file; copy: yes
Only read default options from the given file
\* h
dsn: host; copy: yes
Connect to host.
\* p

ENVIRONMENT
***********
The environment variable \ ``PTDEBUG``\ enables verbose debugging output to STDERR.
To enable debugging and capture all output to a file, run the tool like:
.. code-block:: perl
PTDEBUG=1 pt-query-profiler ... > FILE 2>&1
Be careful: debugging output is voluminous and can generate several megabytes
of output.
*******************
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
*******************
You need Perl, DBI, DBD::mysql, and some core packages that ought to be
installed in any reasonably new version of Perl.
