(Redirected from Ishmael)

ishmael.wikimedia.org was a visual tool to show MySQL statistics and analyze MySQL query logs. It has been superseded by Tendril and decommissioned in October 2015.

MySQL's slow query log is a file local to the DB that requires shell access to the db server - http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/slow-query-log.html describes it. Asher set up ishmael, a web tool to analyze slow queries, circa 2011.

In 2013, Asher wrote:

if you're interested in production query performance histograms, I recommend looking at those generated from random samples of all queries in addition to just those that make the slow query logs.
