Hello,

I really need some advice about MySQL optimizations. I have Xeon 3210 4GB RAM server and I have MySQL performance problem.

WHM 11.26.20
CENTOS 5.5 x86_64 standard
Processor #1 Name: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X3210 @ 2.13GHz
4GB RAM

I installed two performance tuning script.

1- MySQLTuner 1.0.1 - Major Hayden
2- MySQL Performance Tuning primer - Matthew Montgomery

- This is a MySQLTuner 1.0.1 - Major Hayden report;

Code:
root@venus [/]# ./mysqltuner.pl

    Adjust your join queries to always utilize indexes
    When making adjustments, make tmp_table_size/max_heap_table_size equal
    Reduce your SELECT DISTINCT queries without LIMIT clauses
    Increase table_cache gradually to avoid file descriptor limits
Variables to adjust:
    query_cache_size (> 32M)
    join_buffer_size (> 128.0K, or always use indexes with joins)
    tmp_table_size (> 32M)
    max_heap_table_size (> 16M)
    table_cache (> 512)

MySQL Version 5.0.91-community-log x86_64

Uptime = 3 days 0 hrs 21 min 45 sec
Avg. qps = 102
Total Questions = 26761026
Threads Connected = 3

Server has been running for over 48hrs.
It should be safe to follow these recommendations

To find out more information on how each of these
runtime variables effects performance visit:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/server-system-variables.html
Visit http://www.mysql.com/products/enterprise/advisors.html
for info about MySQL's Enterprise Monitoring and Advisory Service

SLOW QUERIES
The slow query log is NOT enabled.
Current long_query_time = 4 sec.
You have 782 out of 26761067 that take longer than 4 sec. to complete
Your long_query_time seems to be fine

BINARY UPDATE LOG
The binary update log is enabled
The expire_logs_days is not set.
The mysqld will retain the entire binary log until RESET MASTER or PURGE MASTER LOGS commands are run manually
Setting expire_logs_days will allow you to remove old binary logs automatically
See http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/purge-master-logs.html
Binlog sync is not enabled, you could loose binlog records during a server crash

WORKER THREADS
Current thread_cache_size = 8
Current threads_cached = 7
Current threads_per_sec = 0
Historic threads_per_sec = 0
Your thread_cache_size is fine

MAX CONNECTIONS
Current max_connections = 200
Current threads_connected = 2
Historic max_used_connections = 44
The number of used connections is 22% of the configured maximum.
Your max_connections variable seems to be fine.

INNODB STATUS
Current InnoDB index space = 192 K
Current InnoDB data space = 608 K
Current InnoDB buffer pool free = 83 %
Current innodb_buffer_pool_size = 8 M
Depending on how much space your innodb indexes take up it may be safe
to increase this value to up to 2 / 3 of total system memory

MEMORY USAGE
Max Memory Ever Allocated : 843 M
Configured Max Per-thread Buffers : 2.42 G
Configured Max Global Buffers : 298 M
Configured Max Memory Limit : 2.71 G
Physical Memory : 3.74 G
Max memory limit seem to be within acceptable norms

KEY BUFFER
Current MyISAM index space = 1.11 G
Current key_buffer_size = 256 M
Key cache miss rate is 1 : 249
Key buffer free ratio = 81 %
Your key_buffer_size seems to be fine

QUERY CACHE
Query cache is enabled
Current query_cache_size = 32 M
Current query_cache_used = 18 M
Current query_cache_limit = 16 M
Current Query cache Memory fill ratio = 58.42 %
Current query_cache_min_res_unit = 4 K
MySQL won't cache query results that are larger than query_cache_limit in size

SORT OPERATIONS
Current sort_buffer_size = 2 M
Current read_rnd_buffer_size = 8 M
Sort buffer seems to be fine

JOINS
Current join_buffer_size = 132.00 K
You have had 18178 queries where a join could not use an index properly
You have had 1 joins without keys that check for key usage after each row
You should enable "log-queries-not-using-indexes"
Then look for non indexed joins in the slow query log.
If you are unable to optimize your queries you may want to increase your
join_buffer_size to accommodate larger joins in one pass.

Note! This script will still suggest raising the join_buffer_size when
ANY joins not using indexes are found.

OPEN FILES LIMIT
Current open_files_limit = 50000 files
The open_files_limit should typically be set to at least 2x-3x
that of table_cache if you have heavy MyISAM usage.
Your open_files_limit value seems to be fine

TABLE CACHE
Current table_cache value = 512 tables
You have a total of 9468 tables
You have 512 open tables.
Current table_cache hit rate is 0%
, while 100% of your table cache is in use
You should probably increase your table_cache

TEMP TABLES
Current max_heap_table_size = 16 M
Current tmp_table_size = 32 M
Of 893793 temp tables, 31% were created on disk
Effective in-memory tmp_table_size is limited to max_heap_table_size.
Perhaps you should increase your tmp_table_size and/or max_heap_table_size
to reduce the number of disk-based temporary tables
Note! BLOB and TEXT columns are not allow in memory tables.
If you are using these columns raising these values might not impact your 
ratio of on disk temp tables.

TABLE SCANS
Current read_buffer_size = 2 M
Current table scan ratio = 6146 : 1
You have a high ratio of sequential access requests to SELECTs
You may benefit from raising read_buffer_size and/or improving your use of indexes.

TABLE LOCKING
Current Lock Wait ratio = 1 : 962
You may benefit from selective use of InnoDB.
If you have long running SELECT's against MyISAM tables and perform
frequent updates consider setting 'low_priority_updates=1'
If you have a high concurrency of inserts on Dynamic row-length tables
consider setting 'concurrent_insert=2'.
And This is a my my.cnf settings:

Code:
root@venus [~]# cat /etc/my.cnf
[client]
port            = 3306
socket          = /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

skip-locking
max_connections = 200
key_buffer = 256M
long_query_time = 4
open_files_limit= 50000
max_allowed_packet = 1M
table_cache = 512
sort_buffer_size = 2M
read_buffer_size = 2M

[isamchk]

write_buffer = 2M

[myisamchk]
key_buffer = 256M
sort_buffer_size = 256M
read_buffer = 2M
write_buffer = 2M

[mysqlhotcopy]

What Can I do? Please give me some advise.
Thank you very much,

p.s: I'm so sorry, My English is not good.

First increase table_cache and tmp_table_size/max_heap_table_size (make last 2 equal). Restart mysql and optimize tables (mysqlcheck -oA).

After that you can enable slow queries to find the queries with problem and try to optimize them (rewrite and/or add indexes).

If none works, increase server ram and adjust all settings.

Run the following command to optimize your tables

Code:
mysqlcheck -o -A
The adjust you my.cnf to

Code:
[client]
port            = 3306
socket          = /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

[mysqld]
port            = 3306
socket          = /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
local-infile=0
set-variable = local-infile=0
skip-locking

Restart your mysql server

Code:
/etc/init.d/mysql restart
Run this for 48H and the recheck with

1- MySQLTuner 1.0.1 - Major Hayden
2- MySQL Performance Tuning primer - Matthew Montgomery


Please keep us informed in 2 days.

p.s You could make a cron to have your tables optimized ever 24 hours.

Thank you very much d_t and johnburk. :):):)

johnburk,
I'm changed my my.cnf,
I ran table repair and optimize command
and I made a cron to my tables optimized ever 24 hr.

Right now, I'm waiting 2 days to my new report.

Cheers,

I have to say something about your /etc/my.cnf due to the fact I recently did a presentation on MySQL Optimization at the cPanel Conference and my pet peeve is having invalid settings in /etc/my.cnf files. Yours has a lot of not needed variables and invalid variables, so I'm just going to remove a bunch of things that shouldn't be in it:

These are the defaults, there is no reason to have things configured that are the defaults, commenting them out:

After making the above changes, here is what it would now look like. I removed anything commented out. It simply clutters up the my.cnf to have a ton of commented out variables. If you need to keep track of changes like that, you could always have a copy of the /etc/my.cnf to /etc/my.cnf.old or /etc/my.cnf.bak

[mysqld]
local-infile=0
max_connections = 120
key_buffer_size = 256M
long_query_time = 4
open_files_limit= 50000
max_allowed_packet = 1M
table_cache = 10K
sort_buffer_size = 4M
read_buffer_size = 4M
read_rnd_buffer_size = 8M
myisam_sort_buffer_size = 64M
thread_cache_size = 8
query_cache_size = 128M
query_cache_limit = 16M
join_buffer_size = 1M
max_heap_table_size = 64M
tmp_table_size = 64M

# Disable Federated by default
skip-federated
log-bin=mysql-bin
server-id = 1

[mysqldump]
max_allowed_packet = 16M

[mysql]
no-auto-rehash

[isamchk]
key_buffer_size = 256M
sort_buffer_size = 256M
read_buffer_size = 2M
write_buffer_size = 2M

[myisamchk]
key_buffer_size = 256M
sort_buffer_size = 256M
read_buffer_size = 2M
write_buffer_size = 2M

[mysqlhotcopy]
interactive-timeout

The above cuts down on what we have to wade through to figure out what needs changed. It's simply easier to only have a limited set of variables you are actually working with in the /etc/my.cnf file. I actually think you have too many variables changed from the default still, but that's not for me to make the choice there.

Thank you very much Tristan.
Look like very good right now :)

Do you have any suggestion about my my.cnf file? (buffer size and thinks like that)

Thanks.

You could simply follow the recommendations mysqltuner.pl is providing:

max_connections (> 120)
wait_timeout (< 28800)
interactive_timeout (< 28800)
query_cache_size (> 128M)
join_buffer_size (> 1.0M, or always use indexes with joins)
tmp_table_size (> 64M)
max_heap_table_size (> 64M)

Ensure to have tmp_table_size and max_heap_table_size at the same size if you do modify tmp_table_size.

Next, you likely want to enable the slow query log. Place the following line in /etc/my.cnf file:

Code:
log-slow-queries=/var/lib/mysql/slow.log
Then run the following commands:

Code:
cd /var/lib/mysql
touch slow.log
chmod 660 slow.log
chown mysql:mysql slow.log
Finally, restart MySQL:

Code:
/etc/init.d/mysql restart

Thank you very much,

I created log-slow-queries value and I changed my my.cnf settings
I need some times to watch new settings.

Have a great day! :)
