pt-ioprofile - Watch process IO and print a table of file and I/O activity.
Usage: pt-ioprofile [OPTIONS] [FILE]
pt-ioprofile does two things: 1) get lsof+strace for -s seconds, 2) aggregate the result. If you specify a FILE, then step 1) is not performed.
WARNING: pt-ioprofile freezes the server and may crash the process, or make it perform badly after detaching, or leave it in a sleeping state! Before using this tool, please:
pt-ioprofile should be considered an intrusive tool, and should not be used on production servers unless you understand and accept the risks.
pt-ioprofile uses "strace" and "lsof" to watch a process's IO and print out a table of files and I/O activity. By default, it watches the mysqld process for 30 seconds. The output is like:
Tue Dec 27 15:33:57 PST 2011 Tracing process ID 1833 total read write lseek ftruncate filename 0.000150 0.000029 0.000068 0.000038 0.000015 /tmp/ibBE5opS
You probably need to run this tool as root.
pt-ioprofile works by attaching "strace" to the process using "ptrace()", which will make it run very slowly until "strace" detaches. In addition to freezing the server, there is some risk of the process crashing or performing badly after "strace" detaches from it, or of "strace" not detaching cleanly and leaving the process in a sleeping state. As a result, this should be considered an intrusive tool, and should not be used on production servers unless you are comfortable with that.
The aggregate function, either "sum" or "avg".
If sum, then each cell will contain the sum of the values in it. If avg, then each cell will contain the average of the values in it.
The cell contents.
Valid values are:
VALUE CELLS CONTAIN ===== ======================= count Count of I/O operations sizes Sizes of I/O operations times I/O operation timing
The group-by item.
Valid values are:
VALUE GROUPING ===== ====================================== all Summarize into a single line of output filename One line of output per filename pid One line of output per process ID
The PID to profile, overrides "--profile-process".
The process name to profile.
How long to profile.
Filename to save samples in; these can be used for later analysis.
This tool does not use any environment variables.
This tool requires the Bourne shell (/bin/sh).
