Detecting MySQL IO problems on Linux at different abstraction layers

MySQL running in the LAMP stack is a complex system, luckily there is a lot of good instrumentation for investigation into the three fundamental performance problems: high CPU load, disk bandwidth problems and internal locks contention.

This webinar will discuss how to detect MySQL IO problems on Linux on different abstraction layers:

• Using high level unix tools
• Instrumentation inside mysql
• OS level debug and tracing tools, including linux dynamic tracing framework and more usual tools
