Percona-Tookit工具包之pt-mext

 
Preface
 
    We are always obliged to analyze many outputs generated by various tools directly even in flat text files in server performance diagnosis.Further more,we need to compare the differences depend on these results such as the output of "mysqladmin" tool.
 
Introduce
 
    pt-mext is tht very tool which can help you to accomplish the work mentioned above easily.It can execute the command which you specify then print the result side-by-side in one line.Not only can it print results from a running program but also can it print results from a flat text file.
 
Procedure
 
Usage
1 pt-mext [OPTIONS] -- COMMAND

 

Common Parameters
1 --relative //Each column substracts the value of the column before it.

 

Example
 
Collect the global status of MySQL with 1s interval and 3 times in all by mysqladmin.

 2 #mysqladmin ext -i1 -c3 > mysqladmin.log

The "mysqladmin.log" file contains all the output of the three times individually.

Summary
  • pt-mext has only three options and it is rather easy to use.
  • pt-mext is a useful tool in anaylzing differential data of global status of  MySQL.
  • pt-mext can be used not not only in "mysqladmin" program but also others.
