ps_trace_thread

Syntax

ps_trace_thread(thread_id, outfile, max_runtime, interval, start_fresh, auto_setup, debug)

Description

ps_trace_thread is a stored procedure available with the Sys Schema.

Parameters:

• thread_id INT: The thread to trace.

• outfile VARCHAR(255): Name of the .dot file to be create.

• max_runtime DECIMAL(20,2): Maximum time in seconds to collect data. Fractional seconds can be used, and NULL results in data being collected for the default sixty seconds.

• interval DECIMAL(20,2): Time in seconds to sleep between data collection. Fractional seconds can be used, and NULL results in the sleep being the default one second.

• start_fresh BOOLEAN: Whether to reset all Performance Schema data before tracing.

• auto_setup BOOLEAN: Whether to disable all other threads, enable all instruments and consumers, and reset the settings at the end of the run.

• debug BOOLEAN: Whether to include file:lineno information in the graph.

Dumps all Performance Schema data for an instrumented thread to a .dot formatted graph file (for use with the DOT graph description language). All returned result sets should be used for a complete graph.

Session binary logging is disabled during execution, by adjusting the sql_log_bin session value (note the permissions required).

Examples

CALL sys.ps_trace_thread(25, CONCAT('/tmp/stack-', REPLACE(NOW(), ' ', '-'), '.dot'), 
  NULL, NULL, TRUE, TRUE, TRUE);
