安全清空在线慢查询日志slow log的流程 （转)

一、概念部分：

   顾名思义，慢查询日志中记录的是执行时间较长的query，也就是我们常说的slow query，通过设--log-slow-queries[=file_name]来打开该功能并设置记录位置和文件名，默认文件名为hostname-slow.log，默认目录也是数据目录。
    慢查询日志采用的是简单的文本格式，可以通过各种文本编辑器查看其中的内容。其中记录了语句执行的时刻，执行所消耗的时间，执行用户，连接主机等相关信息。MySQL还提供了专门用来分析满查询日志的工具程序mysqlslowdump，用来帮助数据库管理人员解决可能存在的性能问题。

二、slow query log相关变量

  2.1、命令行参数：

    --log-slow-queries

    指定日志文件存放位置，可以为空，系统会给一个缺省的文件host_name-slow.log

  2.2、系统变量

    log_slow_queries

    指定日志文件存放位置，可以为空，系统会给一个缺省的文件host_name-slow.log

    slow_query_log

    slow quere log的开关，当值为1的时候说明开启慢查询。

    slow_query_log_file

    指定日志文件存放位置，可以为空，系统会给一个缺省的文件host_name-slow.log

    long_query_time

    记录超过的时间，默认为10s

    log_queries_not_using_indexes

    log下来没有使用索引的query，可以根据情况决定是否开启


主要是zabbix数据库的日志占用了66G的，所以想清理下

1, see the slow log status;
mysql> show variables like '%slow%';
+---------------------+------------------------------------------+
| Variable_name       | Value                                    |
+---------------------+------------------------------------------+
| log_slow_queries    | ON                                       |
| slow_launch_time    | 2                                        |
| slow_query_log      | ON                                       |
| slow_query_log_file | /mysqllog/slow_log/slow_queries_3306.log |
+---------------------+------------------------------------------+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)


2, stop the slow log server.
mysql> set global slow_query_log=0;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.27 sec)


mysql> show variables like '%slow%';
+---------------------+------------------------------------------+
| Variable_name       | Value                                    |
+---------------------+------------------------------------------+
| log_slow_queries    | OFF                                      |
| slow_launch_time    | 2                                        |
| slow_query_log      | OFF                                      |
| slow_query_log_file | /mysqllog/slow_log/slow_queries_3306.log |
+---------------------+------------------------------------------+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)


mysql>
mysql> show variables like '%slow%'; -- check slow log status
+---------------------+------------------------------------------+
| Variable_name       | Value                                    |
+---------------------+------------------------------------------+
| log_slow_queries    | OFF                                      |

| slow_query_log_file | /mysqllog/slow_log/slow_queries_3306.log |
+---------------------+------------------------------------------+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)


3, reset the new path of slow log
mysql> set global slow_query_log_file='/mysqllog/slow_log/slow_queries_3306_new.log';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.03 sec)


4, start the slow log server
mysql>
mysql>
mysql> set global slow_query_log=1;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)


mysql> show variables like '%slow%';
+---------------------+----------------------------------------------+
| Variable_name       | Value                                        |
+---------------------+----------------------------------------------+
| log_slow_queries    | ON                                           |
| slow_launch_time    | 2                                            |
| slow_query_log      | ON                                           |
| slow_query_log_file | /mysqllog/slow_log/slow_queries_3306_new.log |
+---------------------+----------------------------------------------+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)


5, check the slow sql in the new slow log file.
mysql> select sleep(10) as a, 1 as b;
+---+---+
| a | b |
+---+---+
| 0 | 1 |
+---+---+
1 row in set (10.00 sec)


mysql>
[mysql@xxx-xxx ~]$ more /mysqllog/slow_log/slow_queries_3306_new.log
......
Time                 Id Command    Argument

SET timestamp=1392273864;
select sleep(10) as a, 1 as b;


6, backup the old big slow log file to other directory.
mv /mysqllog/slow_log/slow_queries_3306.log /mysqlbackup/slow_log/slow_queries_3306.log.bak.20140213
