To use the MySQL Performance Schema, it must be enabled at server startup to enable event collection to occur.
Assuming that the Performance Schema is available, it is enabled by default. To enable or disable it explicitly, start the server with theperformance_schema variable set to an appropriate value. For example, use these lines in yourmy.cnf file:
[mysqld]performance_schema=ON If the server is unable to allocate any internal buffer during Performance Schema initialization, the Performance Schema disables itself and setsperformance_schema toOFF, and the server runs without instrumentation.
The Performance Schema also permits instrument and consumer configuration at server startup.
To control an instrument at server startup, use an option of this form:
--performance-schema-instrument='instrument_name=value' Here,instrument_name is an instrument name such aswait/synch/mutex/sql/LOCK_open, andvalue is one of these values:
OFF,FALSE, or0: Disable the instrumentON,TRUE, or1: Enable and time the instrumentCOUNTED: Enable and count (rather than time) the instrument
Each--performance-schema-instrument option can specify only one instrument name, but multiple instances of the option can be given to configure multiple instruments. In addition, patterns are permitted in instrument names to configure instruments that match the pattern. To configure all condition synchronization instruments as enabled and counted, use this option:
--performance-schema-instrument='wait/synch/cond/%=COUNTED'To disable all instruments, use this option:
--performance-schema-instrument='%=OFF' Exception: Thememory/performance_schema/% instruments are built in and cannot be disabled at startup.
Longer instrument name strings take precedence over shorter pattern names, regardless of order. For information about specifying patterns to select instruments, seeSection 25.4.9, “Naming Instruments or Consumers for Filtering Operations”.
An unrecognized instrument name is ignored. It is possible that a plugin installed later may create the instrument, at which time the name is recognized and configured.
To control a consumer at server startup, use an option of this form:
--performance-schema-consumer-consumer_name=value Here,consumer_name is a consumer name such asevents_waits_history, andvalue is one of these values:
OFF,FALSE, or0: Do not collect events for the consumerON,TRUE, or1: Collect events for the consumer
For example, to enable theevents_waits_history consumer, use this option:
--performance-schema-consumer-events-waits-history=ON The permitted consumer names can be found by examining thesetup_consumers table. Patterns are not permitted. Consumer names in thesetup_consumers table use underscores, but for consumers set at startup, dashes and underscores within the name are equivalent.
The Performance Schema includes several system variables that provide configuration information:
mysql> SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'perf%';+--------------------------------------------------------+---------+| Variable_name | Value |+--------------------------------------------------------+---------+| performance_schema | ON || performance_schema_accounts_size | 100 || performance_schema_digests_size | 200 || performance_schema_events_stages_history_long_size | 10000 || performance_schema_events_stages_history_size | 10 || performance_schema_events_statements_history_long_size | 10000 || performance_schema_events_statements_history_size | 10 || performance_schema_events_waits_history_long_size | 10000 || performance_schema_events_waits_history_size | 10 || performance_schema_hosts_size | 100 || performance_schema_max_cond_classes | 80 || performance_schema_max_cond_instances | 1000 |... Theperformance_schema variable isON orOFF to indicate whether the Performance Schema is enabled or disabled. The other variables indicate table sizes (number of rows) or memory allocation values.
With the Performance Schema enabled, the number of Performance Schema instances affects the server memory footprint, perhaps to a large extent. The Performance Schema autoscales many parameters to use memory only as required; seeSection 25.17, “The Performance Schema Memory-Allocation Model”.
To change the value of Performance Schema system variables, set them at server startup. For example, put the following lines in amy.cnf file to change the sizes of the history tables for wait events:
[mysqld]performance_schemaperformance_schema_events_waits_history_size=20performance_schema_events_waits_history_long_size=15000The Performance Schema automatically sizes the values of several of its parameters at server startup if they are not set explicitly. For example, it sizes the parameters that control the sizes of the events waits tables this way. the Performance Schema allocates memory incrementally, scaling its memory use to actual server load, instead of allocating all the memory it needs during server startup. Consequently, many sizing parameters need not be set at all. To see which parameters are autosized or autoscaled, usemysqld --verbose --help and examine the option descriptions, or seeSection 25.15, “Performance Schema System Variables”.
For each autosized parameter that is not set at server startup, the Performance Schema determines how to set its value based on the value of the following system values, which are considered as“hints” about how you have configured your MySQL server:
max_connectionsopen_files_limittable_definition_cachetable_open_cacheTo override autosizing or autoscaling for a given parameter, set it to a value other than −1 at startup. In this case, the Performance Schema assigns it the specified value.
At runtime,SHOW VARIABLES displays the actual values that autosized parameters were set to. Autoscaled parameters display with a value of −1.
If the Performance Schema is disabled, its autosized and autoscaled parameters remain set to −1 andSHOW VARIABLES displays −1.
