Mastering InnoDB Diagnostics
- 1. Mastering InnoDB Diagnostics Harrison Fisk Senior Principal Technical Support Engineer
- 2. Overview Lots of information Hard to understand
- 3. Easy to get overwhelmed Hard to figure out what is useful
- 4. Two methods for troubleshooting Symptom based What we will be doing today Data based
- 6. Sources MySQL info SHOW ENGINE INNODB STATUS
- 9. INFORMATION_SCHEMA tables SHOW PROCESSLIST
- 10. SHOW MUTEX STATUS OS info vmstat / iostat or Performance Monitor
- 11. Gdb ( Poor mans profiler (PMP))
- 13. SHOW INNODB STATUS Be careful of truncation innodb_status_file
- 14. Table monitors Ensure enough time has passed
- 15. Exact format varies InnoDB built-in
- 16. InnoDB plugin
- 17. XtraDB
- 18. Data Dictionary
- 19. Problems InnoDB: Error: table test/parent already exists in InnoDB internal InnoDB: data dictionary. Have you deleted the .frm file InnoDB: and not used DROP TABLE? InnoDB: Cannot find table test/child2 from the internal data dictionary InnoDB: of InnoDB though the .frm file for the table exists. Maybe you InnoDB: have deleted and recreated InnoDB data files but have forgotten InnoDB: to delete the corresponding .frm files of InnoDB tables? Various errors about not being in sync
- 20. Can't drop and/or create tables or databases
- 21. Example errors:
- 22. Diagnostics InnoDB table monitor Dumps InnoDB data dictionary
- 23. Output to error log
- 24. CREATE TABLE innodb_table_monitor (id int) ENGINE=innodb;
- 25. Interpreting Ignore system tables Named SYS_ Ignore hidden fields from InnoDB DB_ROW_ID
- 26. DB_TRX_ID
- 27. DB_ROLL_PTR Ignore hidden indexes GEN_CLUST_INDEX
- 28. Solutions Ensure .frm matches InnoDB Create .frm as needed Create another table with same structure
- 29. Copy .frm to the name of the table Drop orphaned .frm files If not in InnoDB
- 30. Remove them
- 31. Crashing
- 32. Problem mysqld Crash Signal 11 Segfault Signal 6 Abort
- 33. InnoDB loves this one May not actually notice immediately mysqld_safe restarts
- 34. Diagnostics Error log Hopefully it has info in it Core file Not enabled by default
- 35. OS often restricts setuid cores /proc/sys/fs/suid_dumpable
- 36. coreadm General log When all else fails
- 37. Interpreting Error log Error log Look for signal type Signal 11
- 38. Signal 6 Backtrace May or may not be present OS
- 39. Version In 5.0 and before you need to resolve it resolve_stack_dump Search bug system for function names
- 40. Interpreting Cores Must be enabled
- 42. Requires exactly the same binary and libraries
- 43. With rpm ensure debuginfo is installed
- 45. Load with gdb thread apply all bt
- 46. Use PMP to summarize if needed Solaris: pstack
- 48. Solutions Find cause of the crash InnoDB doing on purpose
- 49. Real crash Find query causing problem Stop doing it
- 50. Report bug to us Upgrade Lots of bugs fixed each release
- 51. Locking
- 52. Problems Deadlocks Real deadlocks ERROR 1213 (40001): Deadlock found when trying to get lock; try restarting transaction Lock wait timeouts ERROR 1205 (HY000): Lock wait timeout exceeded; try restarting transaction General locking slowness
- 53. Diagnostics SHOW INNODB STATUS TRANSACTIONS section innodb_lock_monitor table Changes output of SHOW INNODB STATUS INFORMATION_SCHEMA INNODB_LOCKS
- 54. INNODB_LOCK_WAITS SHOW GLOBAL STATUS LIKE 'innodb_row_lock%'
- 55. Interpreting Find what lock is needed Who is holding conflicting lock Look for type of lock X (exclusive)
- 56. S (shared) Relatively rare Others Look for what the lock is on Table (primary key)
- 57. Index
- 58. Solutions Fix queries to reduce locks
- 59. Shared locks Find source
- 60. Eliminate Upgrade to 5.1 run in read committed
- 61. Remove source of lock AUTO-INC Upgrade to 5.1 innodb_autoinc_lock = 2? Long running transactions
- 62. Performance
- 63. Overview Lots of potential performance issues Disk I/O Log files
- 64. Table space CPU Too many rows being read
- 65. Thread thrashing Gather lots of information up front Big picture, not details first Ensure it is during “problem” time
- 66. Disk: Log files Many small serialized synchronous writes
- 67. InnoDB redo log writes bottleneck fdatasync () is expensive in many setups innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit 1 Safest, sync every commit
- 68. 2 Write every commit
- 69. 0 Write only every second
- 70. Diagnostics SHOW INNODB STATUS State of transactions COMMITTED IN MEMORY
- 71. PREPARED FILE I/O Pending flushes (fsync) log
- 72. fsyncs/s iostat Number of write operations ( w/s ) await and/or svctm
- 73. Solutions InnoDB plugin group commit
- 75. Better disks BBU write cache
- 76. Faster writes
- 77. Disk: Tablespace Reading and writing your actual tables and indexes
- 78. More common with very large tables Compare to buffer pool size Sometimes caused by read ahead in InnoDB
- 79. Diagnostics SHOW INNODB STATUS Buffer pool hit rate Watch absolute values too FILE I/O Reads/s Avg bytes/read shows reada head Pending reads Read ahead Pages read ahead/evicted without access iostat avgqu-sz
- 80. await
- 83. New LRU algorithm in InnoDB plugin
- 84. Tune/disable readahead In plugin, can be tuned
- 85. In non-plugin Use gdb hack
- 86. set srv_startup_is_before_trx_rollback_phase=1 Buy better disks
- 87. CPU: Lots of Rows Bad queries can read lots of rows Or lots and lots of smaller queries Data fully cached Lots of buffer pool reading
- 88. Often smaller dataset Eventually will bottleneck InnoDB on CPU
- 89. Diagnostics SHOW INNODB STATUS ROW OPERATIONS Reads/s SHOW GLOBAL STATUS LIKE 'Handler%' Type of row operations going on Slow query log log-queries-not-using-indexes
- 90. Solutions Fix your queries Ensure proper index usage Do less queries External caching Scale reads Replication
- 91. CPU: Thread Thrashing InnoDB can have issues at high concurrency
- 92. Later releases help reduce this dramatically InnoDB plugin
- 94. MySQL 5.5
- 95. Diagnostics SHOW INNODB STATUS Lots of queued threads TRANSACTIONS
- 96. Queries in queue ROW OPERATIONS reads/s is “low” vmstat Very high CPU usage
- 97. Lots of “cs” context switches SHOW MUTEX STATUS
- 98. Solutions innodb_thread_concurrency Very high or 0 works best until it doesn't Sometimes very low works best
- 99. A bit of a black art in tuning innodb_concurrency_tickets Size based on number of rows being touched Use newer version Lots of work to help this in InnoDB Plugin
