MySQL Version 5.0.45-log i686 Uptime = 0 days 0 hrs 48 min 6 sec Avg. qps = 39 Total Questions = 115162 Threads Connected = 6 Warning: Server has not been running for at least 48hrs. It may not be safe to use 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 Current long_query_time = 10 sec. You have 1 out of 115180 that take longer than 10 sec. to complete The slow query log is NOT enabled. Your long_query_time may be too high, I typically set this under 5 sec. WORKER THREADS Current thread_cache_size = 16 Current threads_cached = 4 Current threads_per_sec = 0 Historic threads_per_sec = 0 Your thread_cache_size is fine MAX CONNECTIONS Current max_connections = 768 Current threads_connected = 7 Historic max_used_connections = 11 The number of used connections is 1% of the configured maximum. You are using less than 10% of your configured max_connections. Lowering max_connections could help to avoid an over-allocation of memory See "MEMORY USAGE" section to make sure you are not over-allocating MEMORY USAGE Max Memory Ever Allocated : 833 M Configured Max Per-thread Buffers : 25 G Configured Max Global Buffers : 458 M Configured Max Memory Limit : 26 G Physical Memory : 3.95 G Max memory limit exceeds 90% of physical memory KEY BUFFER Current MyISAM index space = 77 M Current key_buffer_size = 384 M Key cache miss rate is 1 : 75 Key buffer fill ratio = 1.00 % Your key_buffer_size seems to be too high. Perhaps you can use these resources elsewhere QUERY CACHE Query cache is enabled Current query_cache_size = 64 M Current query_cache_used = 11 M Current query_cache_limit = 1 M Current Query cache Memory fill ratio = 18.33 % Current query_cache_min_res_unit = 4 K Your query_cache_size seems to be too high. Perhaps you can use these resources elsewhere MySQL won't cache query results that are larger than query_cache_limit in size SORT OPERATIONS Current sort_buffer_size = 6 M Current record/read_rnd_buffer_size = 15 M Sort buffer seems to be fine JOINS Current join_buffer_size = 8.00 M You have had 0 queries where a join could not use an index properly Your joins seem to be using indexes properly join_buffer_size >= 4 M This is not advised OPEN FILES LIMIT Current open_files_limit = 65535 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 = 2048 tables You have a total of 4893 tables You have 2048 open tables. Current table_cache hit rate is 10%, 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 381 temp tables, 16% were created on disk Effective in-memory tmp_table_size is limited to max_heap_table_size. Created disk tmp tables ratio seems fine TABLE SCANS Current read_buffer_size = 3 M Current table scan ratio = 73 : 1 read_buffer_size seems to be fine TABLE LOCKING Current Lock Wait ratio = 0 : 115483 Your table locking seems to be fine
