15.12.1 `SHOW INNODB STATUS' and the `InnoDB' Monitors
------------------------------------------------------
Starting from MySQL 3.23.42, `InnoDB' includes `InnoDB' Monitors that
print information about the `InnoDB' internal state. Starting from
MySQL 3.23.52 and 4.0.3, you can use the SQL statement `SHOW INNODB
STATUS' to fetch the output of the standard `InnoDB' Monitor to your
SQL client. The information is useful in performance tuning. If you are
using the `mysql' interactive SQL client, the output is more readable
if you replace the usual semicolon statement terminator by `\G':
mysql> SHOW INNODB STATUS\G
Another way to use `InnoDB' Monitors is to let them continuously write
data to the standard output of the server `mysqld'. In this case, no
output is sent to clients. When switched on, `InnoDB' Monitors print
data about every 15 seconds. Server output usually is directed to the
`.err' log in the MySQL data directory. This data is useful in
performance tuning. On Windows, you must start the server from a
command prompt in a console window with the `--console' option if you
want to direct the output to the window rather than to the error log.
Monitor output includes information of the following types:
* Table and record locks held by each active transaction
* Lock waits of a transactions
* Semaphore waits of threads
* Pending file I/O requests
* Buffer pool statistics
* Purge and insert buffer merge activity of the main `InnoDB' thread
To cause the standard `InnoDB' Monitor to write to the standard output
of `mysqld', use the following SQL statement:
CREATE TABLE innodb_monitor(a INT) TYPE=InnoDB;
The monitor can be stopped by issuing the following statement:
DROP TABLE innodb_monitor;
The `CREATE TABLE' syntax is just a way to pass a command to the
`InnoDB' engine through the MySQL SQL parser: The only things that
matter are the table name `innodb_monitor' and that it be an `InnoDB'
table. The structure of the table is not relevant at all for the
`InnoDB' Monitor. If you shut down the server when the monitor is
running, and you want to start the monitor again, you have to drop the
table before you can issue a new `CREATE TABLE' statement to start the
monitor. This syntax may change in a future release.
In a similar way, you can start `innodb_lock_monitor', which is
otherwise the same as `innodb_monitor' but also prints a lot of lock
information. A separate `innodb_tablespace_monitor' prints a list of
created file segments existing in the tablespace and also validates the
tablespace allocation data structures. Starting from 3.23.44, there is
`innodb_table_monitor' with which you can print the contents of the
`InnoDB' internal data dictionary.

END OF INNODB MONITOR OUTPUT
============================
1 row in set (0.05 sec)
Some notes on the output:
* If the `TRANSACTIONS' section reports lock waits, your application
may have lock contention. The output can also help to trace the
reasons for transaction deadlocks.
* The `SEMAPHORES' section reports threads waiting for a semaphore
and statistics on how many times threads have needed a spin or a
wait on a mutex or a rw-lock semaphore. A large number of threads
waiting for semaphores may be a result of disk I/O, or contention
problems inside `InnoDB'. Contention can be due to heavy
parallelism of queries, or problems in operating system thread
scheduling. Setting `innodb_thread_concurrency' smaller than the
default value of `8' can help in such situations.
* The `BUFFER POOL AND MEMORY' section gives you statistics on pages
read and written. You can calculate from these numbers how many
data file I/O operations your queries currently are doing.
* The `ROW OPERATIONS' section shows what the main thread is doing.
Beginning with MySQL 4.0.19, `InnoDB' sends diagnostic output to stderr
or files instead of stdout or fixed-size memory buffers, to avoid
potential buffer overflow errors. As a side effect, the output of
`SHOW INNODB STATUS' is written to a status file every fifteen seconds.
The name of the file is `innodb_status.PID', where PID is the server
process ID. This file is created in the MySQL data directory. `InnoDB'
removes the file for a normal shutdown. If abnormal shutdowns have
occurred, instances of these status files may be present and must be
removed manually. Before removing them, you might want to examine them
to see if they contain useful information to the cause of abnormal
shutdowns. Beginning with MySQL 4.0.21, the `innodb_status.PID' file
will only be created if the configuration option `innodb_status_file=1'
is set.
