@@ -1092,9 +1092,27 @@ Threads_running usually is. Your job, as the tool's user, is to define an
appropriate trigger condition for the tool. Choose carefully, because the
quality of your results will depend on the trigger you choose.
You can define the trigger with the L<"--function">, L<"--variable">, and
L<"--threshold"> options, among others. Please read the documentation for
--function to learn how to do this.
The pt-stalk tool, by default, simply watches MySQL repeatedly until the trigger
becomes true. It then gathers diagnostics for a while, and sleeps afterwards for
some time to prevent repeatedly gathering data if the condition remains true.
In crude pseudocode, omitting some subtleties,
while true; do
if --variable from --function is greater than --threshold; then
observations++
if observations is greater than --cycles; then
capture diagnostics for --run-time seconds
exit if --iterations is exceeded
sleep for --sleep seconds

clean up data that's older than --retention-time

The diagnostic data is written to files whose names begin with a timestamp, so
you can distinguish samples from each other in case the tool collects data

type: string; default: status
Built-in function name or plugin file name which returns the value of C<VARIABLE>.
Possible values are:
Specifies what to watch for a diagnostic trigger. The default value watches
SHOW GLOBAL STATUS, but you can also watch SHOW PROCESSLIST or supply a plugin
file with your own custom code. This function supplies the value of
L<"--variable">, which is then compared against L<"--threshold"> to see if the
trigger condition is met. Additional options may be required as well; see
below. Possible values:
=over
=item * status
Grep the value of C<VARIABLE> from C<mysqladmin extended-status>.
This value specifies that the source of data for the diagnostic trigger is SHOW
GLOBAL STATUS. The value of L<"--variable"> then defines which status counter
is the trigger.
=item * processlist
Count the number of processes in C<mysqladmin processlist> whose
C<VARIABLE> column matches C<MATCH>. For example:
This value specifies that the data for the diagnostic trigger comes from SHOW
FULL PROCESSLIST. The trigger value is the count of processes whose
L<"--variable"> column matches the L<"--match"> option. For example, to trigger
when more than 10 processes are in the "statistics" state, use the following
options:
TRIGGER_FUNCTION="processlist" \
VARIABLE="State" \
MATCH="statistics" \
THRESHOLD="10"
--trigger processlist --variable State --match statistics --threshold 10
The above triggers when more than 10 processes are in the "statistics" state.
C<MATCH> must be specified for this trigger function.
=back
=item * magic
In addition, you can specify a file that contains your custom trigger function,
written in Unix shell script. This can be a wrapper that executes anything you
wish. If the argument to --function is a file, then it takes precedence over
builtin functions, so if there is a file in the working directory named "status"
or "processlist" then the tool will use that file as a plugin, even though those
are otherwise recognized as reserved words for this option.
TODO
=item * plugin file name
A plugin file allows you to specify a custom trigger function. The plugin
file must contain a function called C<trg_plugin>. For example:
The plugin file works by providing a function called C<trg_plugin>, and the tool
simply sources the file and executes the function. For example, the function
might look like the following:
trg_plugin() {
# Do some stuff.
echo "$value"
mysql $EXT_ARGV -e "SHOW ENGINE INNODB STATUS" | grep -c "has waited at"
}
The last output if the function (its "return value") must be a number.
This number is compared to C<THRESHOLD>. All L<"ENVIRONMENT"> variables
are available to the function.
This snippet will count the number of mutex waits inside of InnoDB. It
illustrates the general principle: the function must output a number, which is
then compared to the threshold as usual. The $EXT_ARGV variable contains the
MySQL options mentioned in the L<"SYNOPSIS"> above.
Do not alter the tool's existing global variables. Prefix any plugin-specific
global variables with "PLUGIN_".
The plugin should not alter the tool's existing global variables. Prefix any
plugin-specific global variables with "PLUGIN_" or make them local.

purged.
=item --run-time
type: int; default: 30
How long to collect statistics data for?
Make sure that this isn't longer than SLEEP.
How long the tool will collect data when it triggers. This should not be longer
than L<"--sleep">. It is usually not necessary to change this; if the default 30
seconds hasn't gathered enough diagnostic data, running longer is not likely to
do so. In fact, in many cases a shorter collection period is appropriate.
=item --sleep
type: int; default: 300
How long to sleep after collecting?
How long to sleep after collecting data. This prevents the tool from triggering
continuously, which might be a problem if the collection process is intrusive.
It also prevents filling up the disk or gathering too much data to analyze
reasonably.
