假如你是一名 web 开发人员,如果你想调试你的应用或提升其性能的话,那你需要去参考各种日志文件。日志是开始故障排除最好的选择。就著名的 MySql 数据库服务器而言,你需要参考以下日志文件:
编辑 MySql 配置文件:
nano /etc/mysql/my.cnf
以上是 Debian 下的默认安装目录,其他 Linux 发布版可能不太一样,这个文件中 MySql 服务器的参数如下:
# * Logging and Replication
#
# Both location gets rotated by the cronjob.
# Be aware that this log type is a performance killer.
# As of 5.1 you can enable the log at runtime!
#general_log_file = /var/log/mysql/mysql.log
#general_log = 1
#
# Error logging goes to syslog due to /etc/mysql/conf.d/mysqld_safe_syslog.cnf.
#
# Here you can see queries with especially long duration
#log_slow_queries = /var/log/mysql/mysql-slow.log
#long_query_time = 2
#log-queries-not-using-indexes
#
# The following can be used as easy to replay backup logs or for replication.
# note: if you are setting up a replication slave, see README.Debian about
# other settings you may need to change.
#server-id = 1
#log_bin = /var/log/mysql/mysql-bin.log
expire_logs_days = 10
max_binlog_size = 100M
#binlog_do_db = include_database_name
#binlog_ignore_db = include_database_name
MySql 安装默认是不启用所有日志文件的(Windows 平台下的 error 日志除外)。Debian 安装 MySql 默认是将 error 日志发送给 syslog。
[mysqld_safe]
syslog
这是推荐的做法 。如果你由于某种原因,不想讲 error 日志推给 syslog,将 /etc/mysql/conf.d/mysqld_safe_syslog.cnf 文件中的上述行注掉,或者直接删除掉这个文件,然后在 /etc/mysql/my.cnf 中添加以下行:
[mysqld_safe]
log_error=/var/log/mysql/mysql_error.log
[mysqld]
log_error=/var/log/mysql/mysql_error.log
general_log_file = /var/log/mysql/mysql.log
general_log = 1
log_slow_queries = /var/log/mysql/mysql-slow.log
long_query_time = 2
log-queries-not-using-indexes
service mysql restart
或者使用 systemd :
运行时启用日志,登录 MySql 客户端( mysql -u root -p )然后执行:
SET GLOBAL general_log = 'ON';
SET GLOBAL slow_query_log = 'ON';
运行时禁用日志,登录 Mysql 客户端( mysql -u root -p )后执行:
SET GLOBAL general_log = 'OFF';
SET GLOBAL slow_query_log = 'OFF';
tail -f /var/log/syslog
备注:如果你没有配置 error 日志文件,MySql 将把 error 日志保存在数据目录(通常是 /var/lib/mysql)下的一个名为 {host_name}.err 的文件中。
tail -f /var/log/mysql/mysql.log
备注:如果你没有配置普通日志文件,MySql 将把普通日志保存在数据目录(通常是 /var/lib/mysql)下的一个名为 {host_name}.log 的文件中。
tail -f /var/log/mysql/mysql-slow.log
在 Debian (以及 Debian 派生系列诸如 Ubuntu 等)系统,MySql 初始安装之后,循环日志就已经使用了 logrotate:
nano /etc/logrotate.d/mysql-server
对于其他 Linux 发行版,可能需要做一些改动:
root@cosmos ~ # mysql -uroot -p

- 错误日志:它包含了服务器运行时(当然也包括服务启动和停止时)所发生的错误信息
- 普通查询日志:这是一个记录 mysqld 在做什么(连接,断开,查询)的通用日志
- 慢查询日志:正如其名,它记录了 "慢" 的查询 SQL 语句
关于 MySQL 日志的官方文档参考 http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/server-logs.html。
通过 MySql 配置启用日志
日志相关参数位于 [mysqld] 部分。编辑 MySql 配置文件:
nano /etc/mysql/my.cnf
以上是 Debian 下的默认安装目录,其他 Linux 发布版可能不太一样,这个文件中 MySql 服务器的参数如下:
# * Logging and Replication
#
# Both location gets rotated by the cronjob.
# Be aware that this log type is a performance killer.
# As of 5.1 you can enable the log at runtime!
#general_log_file = /var/log/mysql/mysql.log
#general_log = 1
#
# Error logging goes to syslog due to /etc/mysql/conf.d/mysqld_safe_syslog.cnf.
#
# Here you can see queries with especially long duration
#log_slow_queries = /var/log/mysql/mysql-slow.log
#long_query_time = 2
#log-queries-not-using-indexes
#
# The following can be used as easy to replay backup logs or for replication.
# note: if you are setting up a replication slave, see README.Debian about
# other settings you may need to change.
#server-id = 1
#log_bin = /var/log/mysql/mysql-bin.log
expire_logs_days = 10
max_binlog_size = 100M
#binlog_do_db = include_database_name
#binlog_ignore_db = include_database_name
MySql 安装默认是不启用所有日志文件的(Windows 平台下的 error 日志除外)。Debian 安装 MySql 默认是将 error 日志发送给 syslog。
error 日志
根据 /etc/mysql/conf.d/mysqld_safe_syslog.cnf 配置,error 日志推送给 syslog:[mysqld_safe]
syslog
这是推荐的做法 。如果你由于某种原因,不想讲 error 日志推给 syslog,将 /etc/mysql/conf.d/mysqld_safe_syslog.cnf 文件中的上述行注掉,或者直接删除掉这个文件,然后在 /etc/mysql/my.cnf 中添加以下行:
[mysqld_safe]
log_error=/var/log/mysql/mysql_error.log
[mysqld]
log_error=/var/log/mysql/mysql_error.log
一般查询日志
要启用一般查询日志,将相关行取消注释(或者添加)即可:general_log_file = /var/log/mysql/mysql.log
general_log = 1
慢查询日志
要启用慢查询日志,将相关行取消注释(或者添加)即可:log_slow_queries = /var/log/mysql/mysql-slow.log
long_query_time = 2
log-queries-not-using-indexes
配置修改后重启 MySql 服务器
以上方法要求服务重启才能生效:service mysql restart
或者使用 systemd :
systemctl restart mysql.service
运行时启用日志
MySql 5.1 之后我们可以在运行时启用或者禁用日志。运行时启用日志,登录 MySql 客户端( mysql -u root -p )然后执行:
SET GLOBAL general_log = 'ON';
SET GLOBAL slow_query_log = 'ON';
运行时禁用日志,登录 Mysql 客户端( mysql -u root -p )后执行:
SET GLOBAL general_log = 'OFF';
SET GLOBAL slow_query_log = 'OFF';
这种方式适用于所有平台并且不需要重启服务。
显示日志结果
error 日志
按以上办法设置以后,你可以通过以下命令显示 error 日志:tail -f /var/log/syslog
备注:如果你没有配置 error 日志文件,MySql 将把 error 日志保存在数据目录(通常是 /var/lib/mysql)下的一个名为 {host_name}.err 的文件中。
普通查询日志
按以上办法设置以后,你可以通过使用以下命令来显示普通日志:tail -f /var/log/mysql/mysql.log
备注:如果你没有配置普通日志文件,MySql 将把普通日志保存在数据目录(通常是 /var/lib/mysql)下的一个名为 {host_name}.log 的文件中。
慢查询日志
按以上办法设置以后,你可以通过使用以下命令来显示慢查询日志:tail -f /var/log/mysql/mysql-slow.log
备注:如果你没有配置慢查询日志文件,MySql 将把普通日志保存在数据目录(通常是 /var/lib/mysql)下的一个名为 {host_name}-slow.log 的文件中。
循环日志
别忘了滚动日志,否则的话日志文件可能会变得很庞大。在 Debian (以及 Debian 派生系列诸如 Ubuntu 等)系统,MySql 初始安装之后,循环日志就已经使用了 logrotate:
nano /etc/logrotate.d/mysql-server
对于其他 Linux 发行版,可能需要做一些改动:
检验服务器配置
使用 show variables like '%log%'; 来检查服务器和日志文件相关的变量:root@cosmos ~ # mysql -uroot -p

何时启用日志
MySql 默认安装的话,所有的日志文件都不会被启用的(除了 Windows 平台上的 error 日志)。 Debian 上安装默认将 error 日志发给 syslog。实际上,在很多情况下日志文件都可以提供关键问题的解决办法:
- 总是启用 error 日志
- 在这些情况下开启普通查询日志(最好在运行时):检查你的应用是否正确处理了 MySql 数据库连接(一个常见的错误就是从一个单一脚本多次连接到 MySql);监控来自你的应用的查询的执行情况;测试 memcached(或者类似的软件),检查某查询是被 db 执行还是被 memcached 处理
- 当你的应用由于某些原因造成性能下降而你想找到这些慢查询时,启用慢查询日志(MySql 最好是在短期内这样配置,比如 2-3 天)
示例
以下是一个 MySql 普通日志的示例:131021 17:43:50 43 Connect root@localhost as anonymous on pnet_blog
43 Init DB pnet_blog
43 Query SELECT count(id) as total_posts FROM posts WHERE date_published is not null AND date_published <= '20131021144350'
43 Query SELECT * FROM posts WHERE date_published is not null AND date_published <= '20131021144350' ORDER BY date_published DESC LIMIT 0,10
44 Connect root@localhost as anonymous on pnet_blog
44 Query SELECT id, title, impressions FROM tips WHERE date_published IS NOT NULL AND date_published <= '20131021144350' ORDER BY date_published DESC LIMIT 0, 10
44 Quit
43 Quit
131021 17:44:28 45 Connect root@localhost as anonymous on pnet_blog
45 Init DB pnet_blog
45 Query SELECT * FROM posts WHERE url='how-and-when-to-enable-mysql-logs'
45 Query UPDATE posts SET impressions=impressions+1 WHERE id='41'
45 Query SELECT url, post_title FROM posts WHERE date_published IS NOT NULL AND date_published < '20131020150000' ORDER BY date_published DESC LIMIT 0,1
45 Query SELECT url, post_title FROM posts WHERE date_published IS NOT NULL AND date_published > '20131020150000' ORDER BY date_published ASC LIMIT 0,1
45 Query SELECT * FROM posts WHERE date_published is not null AND date_published <= '20131021144428' AND date_published >= '20130421144428' ORDER BY impressions DESC LIMIT 0,10
46 Connect root@localhost as anonymous on pnet_blog
46 Query SELECT id, title, impressions FROM tips WHERE date_published IS NOT NULL AND date_published <= '20131021144428' ORDER BY date_published DESC LIMIT 0, 10
