    My MySQL server optimization progress, history

    As a MySQL newbie i would like to share how my mysql server optimization goes thru the history:

    -------- Performance Metrics -------------------------------------------------
    [--] Up for: 23d 2h 29m 34s (193M q [97.175 qps], 9M conn, TX: 8405B, RX: 37B)
    [--] Reads / Writes: 74% / 26%
    [--] Total buffers: 2.3G global + 34.5M per thread (200 max threads)
    [OK] Maximum possible memory usage: 9.0G (52% of installed RAM)
    [OK] Slow queries: 0% (105K/193M)
    [OK] Highest usage of available connections: 19% (39/200)
    [!!] Key buffer size / total MyISAM indexes: 0B/1.1G
    [!!] Key buffer hit rate: 0.0% (2B cached / 2B reads)

    [OK] InnoDB buffer pool / data size: 760.0M/714.0M
    [OK] InnoDB log waits: 0
    -------- Recommendations -----------------------------------------------------
    General recommendations:
    Run OPTIMIZE TABLE to defragment tables for better performance
    Increasing the query_cache size over 128M may reduce performance
    Adjust your join queries to always utilize indexes
    Temporary table size is already large - reduce result set size
    Reduce your SELECT DISTINCT queries without LIMIT clauses
    Increase table_cache gradually to avoid file descriptor limits
    Read this before increasing table_cache over 64: http://bit.ly/1mi7c4C
    Variables to adjust:
    key_buffer_size (> 1.1G)
    query_cache_size (> 512M) [see warning above]
    join_buffer_size (> 16.0M, or always use indexes with joins)
    table_cache (> 1024)


    Report Complete:
    Wed Apr 13 09:02:15 UTC 2016
    Adjustments i made after above report:
    table_open_cache=1024 -> 512M (lowered)
    tmp_table_size=1024M -> 512M (lowered, average maximum size of mysql table is 45M)
    join_buffer_size=16M -> 64M (increase)
    read_buffer_size=16M -> 64M (increase)
    sort_buffer_size=64M <- NEW variable

    Decision based on this article
    Lets see next run if tmp_tables % reduce

    OPTIMIZE TABLE mpellzmp_fh.sessions; -- can free 51 MB
    Total freed space after theses OPTIMIZE TABLE : 51 Mb
    Set up a Secure Password for user@host ( SET PASSWORD FOR 'user'@'SpecificDNSorIp' = PASSWORD('secure_password'); )
    Restrict Host for user@% to user@SpecificDNSorIp
    Reduce or eliminate persistent connections to reduce connection usage
    Configure your accounts with ip or subnets only, then update your configuration with skip-name-resolve=1
    Adjust your join queries to always utilize indexes
    Temporary table size is already large - reduce result set size

    Increase table_open_cache gradually to avoid file descriptor limits
    Read this before increasing table_open_cache over 64: http://bit.ly/1mi7c4C
    Beware that open_files_limit (43762) variable
    should be greater than table_open_cache ( 2048)
    Variables to adjust:
    max_connections (> 200)
    wait_timeout (< 28800)
    interactive_timeout (< 28800)
    query_cache_type (=0)
    join_buffer_size (> 64.0M, or always use indexes with joins)
    table_open_cache (> 2048)
    innodb_buffer_pool_size (>= 1G) if possible.
    There was problems with high MySQL memory usage (this and last run), i think next run might be solved thanks to following adjustments

    OLD:
    [!!] Temporary tables created on disk: 31% (5M on disk / 16M total)

    NEW:
    [!!] Temporary tables created on disk: 44% (2M on disk / 5M total)

    Changes i made after this report:
    innodb_buffer_pool_size=760M -> innodb_buffer_pool_size=2G
    -> wait_timeout=300
    -> interactive_timeout=300
    -> query_cache_type=0 (Don't cache results or retrieve from query cache)
    tmp_table_size=512M -> tmp_table_size=192M
    max_heap_table_size=512M -> max_heap_table_size=292M

    Later maybe increase table_open_cache (not sure if safe, im low on RAM)

    There are no longer memory issues "Unable to fork". Following is the last 30 days 26.7.2016 - 26.8.2016

    1. privvmpages openvz was set to unlimited and physpages was activated and set to 18GB. vSWAP was set to 2GB
    2. i made MySQL adjustments mentioned in above post in this thread and restarted MySQL
    3. im temporarily running certain bash scripts that is consuming more and more RAM.

    Reduce your overall MySQL memory footprint for system stability
    See notes on accuracy of this recommendation below
    Reduce or eliminate unclosed connections and network issues
    Adjust your join queries to always utilize indexes. Please note this

    Because of some unknown issue with server overloading (seems to be RAM/HDD issue and the Mysql is TOP process in this matter) i am trying to reduce my.cnf variables. Changes:
    read_buffer_size=128K (was 2M)
    sort_buffer_size=256K (was 4M)
    join_buffer_size=256K (was 64M)
    (values recommended at: https://haydenjames.io/my-cnf-tuning-avoid-this-common-pitfall/)

    - based on advice: "For more than a decade the default remains at 128K. Increasing the default is not only a waste of server memory, but often does not help performance"

    added following below [mysqld]
    # Skip MYSQL Reverse DNS lookup
    skip-name-resolve

    UPDATE: skip-name-resolve caused an issue (i do not remember which, i had to disable it)

    UPDATE2: i got some advices regarding my config and this is what i followed/changed:

    InnoDB buffer pool size to 1G (from 2G)
    Dropped max_connections to 150, max_user_connections to 30
    Increased join_buffer_size to 1M
    Set query_cache_size=32M

    Hello,

    IN case of MySQL optimize you have to need put these setting in your mysql configuration file.

    -----------------------------

    [mysqld]
    performance-schema=0
    open_files_limit=34000
    innodb_file_per_table=1
    default-storage-engine=MyISAM
    max_allowed_packet=268435456
    innodb_buffer_pool_size=55574528
    innodb_use_native_aio = 0
    #[mysqld]
    #innodb_file_per_table=1
    #default-storage-engine=MyISAM
    #performance-schema=0
    #max_connections = 300
    #max_allowed_packet=268435456
    #local-infile=0
    #max_user_connections = 35
    #wait_timeout=40
    #connect_timeout=10
    #[mysqldump]
    #quick max_allowed_packet = 16M
    -----------------------------------------------
