mysqldumpslow

The MySQL slow query log contains information about queries that take a long time to execute (see Section 5.2.5, “The Slow Query Log” ). mysqldumpslow parses MySQL slow query log files and prints a summary of their contents.

Normally, mysqldumpslow groups queries that are similar except for the particular values of number and string data values. It “abstracts ” these values to N and 'S' when displaying summary output. The -a and -n options can be used to modify value abstracting behavior.

Invoke mysqldumpslow like this:

shell> mysqldumpslow [options

] [log_file

 ...]

mysqldumpslow supports the following options.
