Troubleshooting MySQL Thread Performance – MySQL DBA Scripts Series(Tricks and Techniques)
Overview
This post is about how we can troubleshoot MySQL Thread performance intuitively. Several folks have asked me by now about how I do a detailed Performance Audit of MySQL Thread Operations, so I thought would share the details and script I use. Technically, Threads in MySQL are independent functionally as MySQL doesn’t have its Thread operations mechanism of the underlying Operating System. Whenever a user connects with MySQL, a user thread is created within mysqld for the user to execute the queries, and this connection remains till the user disconnects with MySQL Server. The connection management from MySQL client to Server happens via a simple TCP-IP connect message sent to port 3306 on the MySQL server host machine. But, How can we proactively address performance bottlenecks before you hit the thread concurrency bottleneck? In this blog, I have shared the matrices recommended to troubleshoot MySQL Thread performance more effectively.
