mysql中日志的配置與分析，mysql日志配置

默認情況下，如果日志沒有配置，則只記錄錯誤日志，記錄到syslog，配置文件 /etc/mysql/conf.d/mysqld_safe_syslog.cnf （ubuntu下）

[mysqld_safe]
syslog

移除 /etc/mysql/conf.d/mysqld_safe_syslog.cnf ，然後在 /etc/mysql/my.cnf 添加相關配置

MySQL有多種類型的日志：Error Log、General Query Log、Binary Log 、Slow Query Log、Relay log（slave server）還有undo log/redo log 來實現事務

查看服務器中有哪些日志

一、錯誤日志

默認情況下查詢日志是開啟的

它記錄的事件有：

1、服務器啟動和關閉過程中的信息

2、服務器運行過程中的錯誤信息

3、事件調度器運行一個事件時產生的信息

4、(如果被配置為從服務器)啟動從服務器進程時產生的信息

配置

//log-error[=FILENAME/PATH_TO_FILENAME] Static
//log-warnings[=NUMERIC_VALUE]  Dynamic

[mysqld_safe] log_error=/data/logs/mysql/mysql_error.log
[mysqld] log_error=/data/logs/mysql/mysql_error.log

配置選項

log-warnings | skip-log-warnings
syslog | skip-syslog

作用范圍為全局或會話級別，可用於配置文件，屬非動態變量

二、查詢日志

默認情況下查詢日志是關閉的。

調試的時候可以開啟，一般情況下不要開啟，查詢日志會增加很多磁盤 I/O

配置

//general-log[={0,1}] Dynamic
//general_log_file[=FILENAME] Dynamic
//log-output=PATH_TO_FILE/TABLE/NONE Dynamic

log-output=FILE
general_log=ON
general_log_file=/data/logs/mysql/general_log.log

動態修改

mysql> SET GLOBAL general_log = 'ON';
mysql> SET GLOBAL general_log = 'OFF';

遠程調試（log-output=TABLE）

mysql> SHOW CREATE TABLE mysql.general_log \G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
       Table: general_log
Create Table: CREATE TABLE `general_log` (
  `event_time` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
  `user_host` mediumtext NOT NULL,
  `thread_id` bigint(21) unsigned NOT NULL,
  `server_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL,
  `command_type` varchar(64) NOT NULL,
  `argument` mediumtext NOT NULL
) ENGINE=CSV DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COMMENT='General log'
1 row in set (0.01 sec)

mysql> SHOW CREATE TABLE mysql.slow_log \G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
       Table: slow_log
Create Table: CREATE TABLE `slow_log` (
  `start_time` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
  `user_host` mediumtext NOT NULL,
  `query_time` time NOT NULL,
  `lock_time` time NOT NULL,
  `rows_sent` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `rows_examined` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `db` varchar(512) NOT NULL,
  `last_insert_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `insert_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `server_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL,
  `sql_text` mediumtext NOT NULL,
  `thread_id` bigint(21) unsigned NOT NULL
) ENGINE=CSV DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COMMENT='Slow log'
1 row in set (0.01 sec)

針對 general_log and slow_query_log

三、慢查詢日志

默認情況下查詢日志是關閉的

慢查詢是指執行時長（包括等待CPU/IO的時間）超過 long_query_time 這個變量定義的時長的查詢

開銷比較小，可以用於定位性能問題，建議開啟

配置

//slow-query-log[={0,1}] Dynamic
//slow_query_log_file[=FILENAME] Dynamic
//log-output=PATH_TO_FILE/TABLE/NONE Dynamic
//log-slow-admin-statements[={OFF,ON}] 
//log-queries-not-using-indexes[={OFF,ON}] Dynamic
//log-slow-slave-statements[={OFF,ON}] slave
//log-short-format[={FALSE,TRUE}] 
//long_query_time[=NUMERIC] Dynamic
//min-examined-row-limit[=NUMERIC] Dynamic
	
long_query_time = 2 
slow-query-log = on
slow-query-log-file = /data/logs/mysql/slow_query.log
log-queries-not-using-indexes
log-output=FILE

動態修改

mysql> SET GLOBAL slow_query_log = 'ON';
mysql> SET GLOBAL slow_query_log = 'OFF';

遠程調試（log-output=TABLE）同上

關閉慢查詢日志

log-output=NONE
log_slow_queries=0

四、二進制日志

默認沒有開啟

二進制日志記錄 MySQL 數據庫中所有與更新相關的操作，即二進制日志記錄了所有的 DDL（數據定義語言）語句和 DML（數據操縱語言）語句，但是不包括數據查詢語句。

最重要的兩個用途：恢復數據庫和主從復制

配置

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/replication-options-binary-log.html

binlog_format=mixed
max_binlog_size=1024M
log_bin=/data/logs/mysql/binarylog/mysql_bin
expire_logs_days=0
binlog_cache_size = 2M
max_binlog_cache_size = 4M

log-bin-index 指向 master-bin 這個文件，記錄有哪些分塊的Binlog文件名。

log-bin 記錄Binlog文件名前綴，後綴會用數字遞增

Binlog有3種格式，STATMENT,ROW,MIXED，混合格式（mixed）會在適當時候切換row和statment格式

https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/binary-log-mixed.html

mysql> PURGE MASTER LOGS BEFORE '2015-01-01 00:00:00';
//清除 n 天前的所有日志
mysql> PURGE MASTER LOGS BEFORE CURRENT_DATE - INTERVAL 10 DAY;

五、中繼日志

中繼日志是一組復制在從服務器復制過程中創建的日志文件。

格式和二進制日志相同，其中包含影響數據或結構事件的記錄，mysqlbinlog可用於顯示其內容。它由一組的中繼日志文件和包含所有中繼日志文件的列表的索引文件，從主服務器的二進制日志讀取然後寫入到從服務器。一旦不再需要的舊中繼日志文件將自動刪除，沒有直接的刪除中繼日志的機制，因為SQL線程可以負責完成。

在下面的條件下創建新的中繼日志

· 每次I/O線程啟動時創建一個新的中繼日志。

· 當日志被刷新時；例如，用FLUSH LOGS或 mysqladmin flush-logs。

· 當當前的中繼日志文件變得太大時。“太大”含義的確定方法：

o max_relay_log_size，如果max_relay_log_size > 0

o max_binlog_size，如果max_relay_log_size = 0

master.info &&　relay-log.info

從服務器在數據目錄中另外創建兩個小文件。這些狀態文件默認名為主master.info和relay-log.info

1、由I/O線程更新master.info文件。文件中的行和SHOW SLAVE STATUS顯示的列的對應關系為

行描述 1 文件中的行號 2 Master_Log_File 3 Read_Master_Log_Pos 4 Master_Host 5 Master_User 6 密碼(不由SHOW SLAVE STATUS顯示) 7 Master_Port 8 Connect_Retry 9 Master_SSL_Allowed 10 Master_SSL_CA_File 11 Master_SSL_CA_Path 12 Master_SSL_Cert 13 Master_SSL_Cipher 14 Master_SSL_Key

2、由SQL線程更新relay-log.info文件。文件中的行和SHOW SLAVE STATUS顯示的列的對應關系為：

行描述 1 Relay_Log_File 2 Relay_Log_Pos 3 Relay_Master_Log_File 4 Exec_Master_Log_Pos

當備份從服務器的數據時，你還應備份這兩個小文件以及中繼日志文件。它們用來在恢復從服務器的數據後繼續進行復制。如果丟失了中繼日志但仍然有relay-log.info文件，你可以通過檢查該文件來確定SQL線程已經執行的主服務器中二進制日志的程度。然後可以用Master_Log_File和Master_LOG_POS選項執行CHANGE MASTER TO來告訴從服務器重新從該點讀取二進制日志。當然，要求二進制日志仍然在主服務器上。

如果從服務器正復制LOAD DATA INFILE語句，你應也備份該目錄內從服務器用於該目的的任何SQL_LOAD-*文件。從服務器需要這些文件繼續復制任何中斷的LOAD DATA INFILE操作。用--slave-load-tmpdir選項來指定目錄的位置。如果未指定，默認值為tmpdir變量的值

查看日志

SHOW RELAYLOG ['connection_name'] EVENTS
    [IN 'log_name'] [FROM pos] [LIMIT [offset,] row_count]

六、日志切割

不要忘記了切割日志.否則日志文件將會很大

In Debian (and Debian derivatives as Ubuntu etc)

vim /etc/logrotate.d/mysql-server

其他版本，可能需要一些改變

# - I put everything in one block and added sharedscripts, so that mysql gets
#   flush-logs'd only once.
#   Else the binary logs would automatically increase by n times every day.
# - The error log is obsolete, messages go to syslog now.
/var/log/mysql.log /var/log/mysql/mysql.log /var/log/mysql/mysql-slow.log {
        daily
        rotate 7
        missingok
        create 640 mysql adm
        compress
        sharedscripts
        postrotate
                test -x /usr/bin/mysqladmin || exit 0
                # If this fails, check debian.conf!
                MYADMIN="/usr/bin/mysqladmin --defaults-file=/etc/mysql/debian.cnf"
                if [ -z "`$MYADMIN ping 2>/dev/null`" ]; then
                  # Really no mysqld or rather a missing debian-sys-maint user?
                  # If this occurs and is not a error please report a bug.
                  #if ps cax | grep -q mysqld; then
                  if killall -q -s0 -umysql mysqld; then
                    exit 1
                  fi
                else
                  $MYADMIN flush-logs
                fi
        endscript
}
