Table of contents

MySQLTuner steps

  • Header Print
  • Get login information
  • Set up some OS variables
  • Toss variables/status into hashes
  • Get information about the tuning connexion
  • Check current MySQL version
  • Suggest 64-bit upgrade
  • Show enabled storage engines
  • Show informations about databases (option: --dbstat)
  • Show informations about indexes (option: --idxstat)
  • Display some security recommendations
  • Calculate everything we need
  • Print the server stats
  • Print MyISAM stats
  • Print InnoDB stats
  • Print AriaDB stats
  • Print replication info
  • Make recommendations based on stats
  • Close reportfile if needed
  • Dump result if debug is on

MySQLTuner get login information steps

  • Is a login possible?
    • Force socket?
    • Remote connection?
      • Specifying available RAM is required
    • Got user/pass on command line?
    • mysql-quickbackup credentials available?
    • Plesk credentials available?
    • DirectAdmin credentials available?
    • Debian maintenance account credentials available?
    • Just try a login
      • If working, and .my.cnf isn't there, WARNING
      • If working, and .my.cnf is there, okay
    • Prompt for creds on the console

MySQLTuner system checks

  • 32-bit w/>2GB RAM check
  • Check number of opened ports (warning if more than 9 ports opened)
  • Check 80, 8080, 443 and 8443 ports if warning are raised if there are opened
  • Check if some banned ports are not opened (option --bannedports separated by comma)
  • Check if non kernel and user process except mysqld are not using more than 15% of total physical memory)

MySQLTuner Server version checks

  • EOL MySQL version check
  • Currently MySQL < 5.1 are EOF considerated.
  • Using 5.5+ version of MySQL for performance issue (asynchronous IO).

MySQL Storage engine general information

  • Get storage engine counts/stats
    • Check for DB engines that are enabled but unused
    • Look for fragmented tables
    • Look for auto-increments near capacity
      • Look for table with autoincrement with value near max capacity

MySQLTuner security checks

  • Is anonymous user present?
  • Users without passwords
  • Users w/username as password
  • Users w/o host restriction
  • Weak password check (possibly using cracklib later?)
  • Using basic_passwords.txt as password database
  • Password list checks can be avoid (option: --skippassword)

MySQLTuner CVE vulnerabilities detection

  • option: --cvefile
  • Check if your MariaDB or MySQL version contains CVE bulletins.

MySQLTuner database information

  • Per database information * Tables number
    • Rows number
    • Total size
    • Data size
    • Percentage of data size
    • Index size
    • Percentage of index size
      • Collation number
      • Check that there is only one collation for all table in a database
      • Check that there is only one collation for ll table columns in a database
      • Check that there is only one storage engine per user database

MySQLTuner index information

  • Top 10 worth selectivity index
  • Per index information
    • Index Cardinality
    • Index Selectivity
    • Misc information about index definition
    • Misc information about index size

MySQLTuner Connections information

  • Highest usage of available connections
  • Percentage of used connections (<85%)
  • Percentage of aborted connections (<3%)

MySQLTuner server information

  • Uptime: If MySQL started within last 24 hours
  • Bytes received and sent
  • Number of connections
  • Percentage between reads and writes
  • Is binary log activated ?
    • Is GTID mode activated ?

MySQLTuner sort, join and temp table information

  • Max memory temporary table size allowed.
  • Percentage of sort using temporary table (<10%)
  • Number of join performed without using indexes (<250)
  • Percentage of temporary table written on disk(<25%)
  • Thread cache (=4)
  • Table cache hit ratio(>2°%)
  • Percentage of open file and open file limit(<85%)
  • Percentage of table locks (<95%)
  • Percentage of binlog cache lock (<90%)

  • Per Thread Buffer
    • Read Buffer
    • Read RND Buffer
    • Sort Buffer
    • Thread stack
    • Join Buffer
    • Binlog Cache Buffers size if activated

  • Is Query cache activated ?
    • Query Cache Buffers
    • Query Cache DISABLED, ALL REQUEST or ON DEMAND
    • Query Cache Size
    • Query cache hit ratio (cache efficienty)

MySQLTuner memory checks

  • Get total RAM/swap

MySQLTuner InnoDB information

  • InnoDB Buffer Pool Size
    • If possible, innodb_buffer_pool_size should be greater data and index size for Innodb Table
