Too many sleeping mysql queries?
 

Hello,

Of late, we're seeing our (well-equipped) server choke up during peak traffic hours. On quering my host, these are the replies that have been received.

From reviewing this matter it appears that there are plenty of queries that are sleeping. Below is a small example of what I am viewing in the processlist:

| 4409384 | forum_vb | localhost | forum_dbvbulletin | Sleep | 0 | | |
| 4409390 | forum_vb | localhost | forum_dbvbulletin | Sleep | 2 | | |
| 4409392 | forum_vb | localhost | forum_dbvbulletin | Sleep | 1 | | |
| 4409393 | forum_vb | localhost | forum_dbvbulletin | Sleep | 219 | | |
| 4409394 | forum_vb | localhost | forum_dbvbulletin | Sleep | 52 | | |
| 4409397 | forum_vb | localhost | forum_dbvbulletin | Sleep | 22 | | |
| 4409398 | forum_vb | localhost | forum_dbvbulletin | Sleep | 23 | | |
| 4409401 | forum_vb | localhost | forum_dbvbulletin | Sleep | 219 | |

The biggest issue however are long MySQL queries. The long query log located in /var/lib/mysql/host-slow.log indicates that multiple queries on the forum_dbvbulletin database are taking well over the current long query threshold. There are some basic MySQL optimization tweaks I can perform for you, like analyzing and optimizing this database, or adjusting MySQL settings based on your current usage, but I would recommend you to ask vBulletin for recommendations on this. We can send you a truncated long query log file, as the full file is over 70 MB large and if they can give us any recommendations that would definitely help. Please let me know if you are interested in this option.

Best regards,

I think that your loading times can be attributed to sleeping MySQL queries, here is what I see in mytop:

3556694 forum_v localhost forum_db 0 Sleep
3556727 forum_v localhost forum_db 0 Sleep
3556754 forum_v localhost forum_db 0 Sleep

3558531 forum_v localhost forum_db 1 Sleep
3558538 forum_v localhost forum_db 1 Sleep
3558544 forum_v localhost forum_db 1 Sleep

This is a very large amount, sometime a few sleeping queries are OK, but this is a lot.

I would much appreciate advice on a fix / tweak for this problem.

Thanks
