Description (last modified by chris)
MySQL is set to use a lot of resources, see the RAM allocation here:
And also a lot of queries are cached via memcache, which also has a lot of RAM allocated, see:
What can we do to make it quicker?
See also the work done when the server was setup on ticket:9

- Add Hours to Ticket changed from 0 to 0.25
- Total Hours set to 0.25
This shouldn't be the case:
[!!] User 'piwik@localhost@%' has no password set.
So that account has been removed:
mysql mysql mysql> delete from user where User="piwik@localhost"; Query OK, 1 row affected (0.30 sec)
Things we could tweak:
- Key buffer size / total MyISAM indexes: 1.0G/670.9M -- this could be dropped to 700M
- [!!] InnoDB buffer pool / data size: 6.0G/8.8G -- the InnoDB buffer pool should be bigger than the data size so can we reduce the data size?
Looking at the database sizes by the dump sizes:
cd /var/backups/mysql/databases 889M ./piwik 2.2G ./stage 2.2G ./newprod 1.3G ./drupal 4.0K ./example 46M ./mediawiki 1.3M ./owncloud 72K ./phpmyadmin 2.2G ./dev 8.8G .
I'm not sure that the ownCloud site is used -- can we delete it?
There are 4 Drupal databases, don't we only have 3 sites, can one be dropped?
2.2G ./stage 2.2G ./newprod 1.3G ./drupal 2.2G ./dev
Is there a reason not to drop the example database?
Would it be worth me looking at reducing the size of the Piwik database?

Could be move the development database onto the development server, Crin4? Getting the InnoDB datasize to be less than the InnoDB buffer pool could make quite a difference?

Hi Chris,
Thanks for looking into this.
I've just reviewed this ticket with Peter.
We feel that ./drupal can be dropped now. My understanding is that this was an old dev. now out of use.
I'm going to do some work on the dev database to try to reduce its size by loosing some search indexing and caching from it. 
We don't feel that we can move the dev. DB onto crin4, crin4 doesn't have sufficient resources.
It would be great if we could get the data size down under 6G so we can stop thrashing the HD so much.
All the best,
Russell

That's great, thanks. I see you have dropped the drupal database.

-------- Recommendations -----------------------------------------------------
General recommendations:
    Run OPTIMIZE TABLE to defragment tables for better performance
    Reduce your overall MySQL memory footprint for system stability
    Increasing the query_cache size over 128M may reduce performance
    When making adjustments, make tmp_table_size/max_heap_table_size equal
    Reduce your SELECT DISTINCT queries without LIMIT clauses
    Increase table_open_cache gradually to avoid file descriptor limits
    Read this before increasing table_open_cache over 64: http://bit.ly/1mi7c4C
Variables to adjust:
  *** MySQL's maximum memory usage is dangerously high ***
  *** Add RAM before increasing MySQL buffer variables ***
    query_cache_size (> 512M) [see warning above]
    tmp_table_size (> 16M)
    max_heap_table_size (> 16M)
    table_open_cache (> 64)
    innodb_buffer_pool_size (>= 8G)
So we still could do with loosing 2.8G of innodb data to get it below 6G... Looking at the sizes of all the databases:
mysql> SELECT table_schema AS "Database name", SUM(data_length + index_length) / 1024 / 1024 AS "Size (MB)" FROM information_schema.TABLES GROUP BY table_schema; +--------------------+---------------+ | Database name | Size (MB) | +--------------------+---------------+ | dev | 4402.23059082 | | information_schema | 0.00878906 | | mediawiki | 89.31251144 | | mysql | 0.68581772 | | newprod | 4710.50323105 | | owncloud | 3.71875000 | | performance_schema | 0.00000000 | | phpmyadmin | 0.34375000 | | piwik | 1199.14062500 | | stage | 4389.69979095 | +--------------------+---------------+ 10 rows in set (59.36 sec)
Looking at the size of the newprod database by tables:
mysql> SELECT 
    ->   TABLE_NAME, table_rows, data_length, index_length,  
    ->   round(((data_length + index_length) / 1024 / 1024),2) 'Size in MB'

    -> WHERE table_schema = 'newprod' and TABLE_TYPE='BASE TABLE'

459 rows in set (6.31 sec)
Is there any potential for some of the biggest tables to be reduced in size?
comment:7 Changed 17 months ago by russell
I'm about to get rid of a chunk of data from the dev. DB. I've disabled a bunch of modules on dev. which means I should be OK now truncating the biggest 3 tables on dev. the biggest 2 are InnoDB.
comment:8 Changed 17 months ago by russell
That's done. Generally looking good, I think ideally we could do with finding some more economies somewhere.
