SQLTuner / my.cnf / first byte feedback


Recommended Posts

Posted

I'm trying to make things on our site as fast as possible and we are now running pretty fairly quick but the first byte seems to be taken for ever.

Our setup is as follows 

VPS with share of 24 processors (Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630 v2 @ 2.60GHz )
5.575GB RAM
90GB SSD 
Nginx
memcache
pagespeed
10.1.13-MariaDB (mostly InnoDB) changing these over at present.

I'm looking for feedback on the our output from sqltuner and webpagespeedtest on what I can do to get the firsty byte down speciflcally and also to tune sql as best as possible.

Yu are using an outdated version of mysqltuner. The last one is 1.6.9. You should update it. You also need to set the innodb buffer pool, you are only using 13% of your Ram available.

Posted

First issue:

[!!] Switch to 64-bit OS - MySQL cannot currently use all of your RAM

also you are missing a few Innodb optimization important entries like capacity and threads and your buffer also is very small....

You need an optimization to fix also the Query cache prunes per day but if you convert all tables to Innodb it is better to disable it....

Using the latest mysqltuner as Revenge FNF recommend you, you will see that recommendation as an official one ^_^

I just made the switch to MariaDB 2 days ago and I've started switching but some of the tables keys which are too big. What's the best way to update? I presume I'll need to go through host to organise the update, which might require a change to a new VPS with centos7 which is only 64 bit?

Warning: #1071 Specified key was too long; max key length is 767 bytes

    innodb_buffer_pool_size (>= 692M) if possible.
    innodb_buffer_pool_instances (=1)

First thing first. Like Astrapi said, you need to format your server and install a 64 Bit OS. Your server has 6Gb of Ram and you can only use half of that. From the size of your database, its very important for you to be able to use the 6Gb, so make a favor to yourself and reinstall a 64 bit version.

You have way too many temp tables created on disk, which is slow. You should rise tmp_table_size and max_heap_table_size. I use 256Mb in my IPS4 site.

You need to rise innodb_buffer_pool. When you are using a 64Bit OS and all your tables are in Innodb, set it to 4Gb.

Edit your my.cnf and add:


innodb_large_prefix = 1

then just restart mysql and you are good to go ^_^

Thanks, did that now got the following, any suggestions? I assume I need to add something else to my.cnf but would appreciate recommendation.

dot.gif #1709 - Index column size too large. The maximum column size is 767 bytes.
Posted

innodb_large_prefix will only work if the file format is set to barracuda and using dynamic or compressed. If you are using the default value, then the file format is Antelope.

Thank's @ASTRAPI @RevengeFNF, I have bought a new package running centos7 which we will be migrating too over the next day or so, once we have migrated I will then run sqltuner and carry out a few tweaks. Any recommendations on the above (my.cnf) or any recommendations on nginx adjustments?

Posted

Every server needs another settings so run it on the new server so we can provide recommendations.

But there are a lot more to optimize than mysqltunner's output ^_^

I can't provide more details as i am offering it as a service but i am sure many members will help you after posting here ^_^

I'll drop you a PM, I might get some advise/help for optimising on the new setup - obviously we'll pay for the assistance.

Well we have done a few optimising aspects after switching to the new server, unfortunately when the hosts processed the migration they forgot to migrate the MySQL users resulting in a little downtime but hey ho.

Anyway, we have applied the relevant changes, I have redone our my.cnf file and we have had it running now for little over a day (couple of restarts since we migrated, or it would be longer).

MySQL Version 5.6.29-log x86_64

Uptime = 1 days 9 hrs 29 min 11 sec
Avg. qps = 28
Total Questions = 3394648
Threads Connected = 2

Warning: Server has not been running for at least 48hrs.
It may not be safe to use these recommendations

SLOW QUERIES
The slow query log is NOT enabled.
Current long_query_time = 10.000000 sec.
You have 702552 out of 3394670 that take longer than 10.000000 sec. to complete
Your long_query_time seems to be fine

BINARY UPDATE LOG
The binary update log is enabled

WORKER THREADS
Current thread_cache_size = 50
Current threads_cached = 14
Current threads_per_sec = 0
Historic threads_per_sec = 0
Your thread_cache_size is fine

MAX CONNECTIONS
Current max_connections = 30
Current threads_connected = 2
Historic max_used_connections = 16
The number of used connections is 53% of the configured maximum.
Your max_connections variable seems to be fine.

INNODB STATUS
Current InnoDB index space = 377 M
Current InnoDB data space = 1.35 G
Current InnoDB buffer pool free = 83 %
Current innodb_buffer_pool_size = 4.00 G
Depending on how much space your innodb indexes take up it may be safe
to increase this value to up to 2 / 3 of total system memory

MEMORY USAGE
Max Memory Ever Allocated : 4.05 G
Configured Max Per-thread Buffers : 34 M
Configured Max Global Buffers : 4.03 G
Configured Max Memory Limit : 4.06 G
Physical Memory : 5.75 G
Max memory limit seem to be within acceptable norms

KEY BUFFER
Current MyISAM index space = 1.84 G
Current key_buffer_size = 16 M
Key cache miss rate is 1 : 409
Key buffer free ratio = 0 %
You could increase key_buffer_size
It is safe to raise this up to 1/4 of total system memory;
assuming this is a dedicated database server.

QUERY CACHE
Query cache is enabled
Current query_cache_size = 4 M
Current query_cache_used = 16 K
Current query_cache_limit = 1 M
Current Query cache Memory fill ratio = .41 %
Current query_cache_min_res_unit = 4 K
Your query_cache_size seems to be too high.
Perhaps you can use these resources elsewhere
MySQL won't cache query results that are larger than query_cache_limit in size

SORT OPERATIONS
Current sort_buffer_size = 256 K
Current read_rnd_buffer_size = 256 K
Sort buffer seems to be fine

JOINS
Current join_buffer_size = 260.00 K
You have had 2311 queries where a join could not use an index properly
You should enable "log-queries-not-using-indexes"
Then look for non indexed joins in the slow query log.
If you are unable to optimize your queries you may want to increase your
join_buffer_size to accommodate larger joins in one pass.

Note! This script will still suggest raising the join_buffer_size when
ANY joins not using indexes are found.

OPEN FILES LIMIT
Current open_files_limit = 65536 files
The open_files_limit should typically be set to at least 2x-3x
that of table_cache if you have heavy MyISAM usage.
Your open_files_limit value seems to be fine

TABLE CACHE
Current table_open_cache = 10240 tables
Current table_definition_cache = 4096 tables
You have a total of 3247 tables
You have 3302 open tables.
The table_cache value seems to be fine

TEMP TABLES
Current max_heap_table_size = 388 M
Current tmp_table_size = 256 M
Of 775075 temp tables, 43% were created on disk
Perhaps you should increase your tmp_table_size and/or max_heap_table_size
to reduce the number of disk-based temporary tables
Note! BLOB and TEXT columns are not allow in memory tables.
If you are using these columns raising these values might not impact your
ratio of on disk temp tables.

TABLE SCANS
Current read_buffer_size = 128 K
Current table scan ratio = 104 : 1
read_buffer_size seems to be fine

TABLE LOCKING
Current Lock Wait ratio = 1 : 508180
Your table locking seems to be fine

I haven't enabled cloudflare yet but we are better, I need to try and reduce the first byte reponse but that will be next after looking at optimizing Nginx and will be looking at the post above by Makoto. I just thought I would let people see what we are doing, what changes have implemented and where we are now.

Overall I'm a lot happier now, but I'm still looking to get even faster which comes with using a CDN and further optimising and nginx set up for php-fpm
