Percona Toolkit

Percona Toolkit is a collection of advanced command-line tools used by Percona support staff to perform a variety of MySQL and system tasks that are too difficult or complex to perform manually, including:

• Verify master and replica data consistency
• Efficiently archive rows
• Find duplicate indexes
• Summarize MySQL servers
• Analyze queries from logs and tcpdump
• Collect vital system information when problems occur

Tools are a vital part of any MySQL deployment, so it's important to use ones that are reliable and well-designed. Over 2,000 tests and several years of deployment, including some of the Internet's best-known sites, have proven the reliability of the tools in Percona Toolkit. And the combined experience and expertise of Percona ensures that each tool is well thought-out and designed.

Percona Toolkit is derived from Maatkit and Aspersa, two of the best-known utility toolkits for MySQL server administration.

Need a tool that doesn't exist? Or, need an existing tool to do something new? Custom tool development leverages Percona Toolkit's extensive codebase to quickly and cost-effectively create new tools or modify existing ones to meet your needs.
