Mysql top just like we have top command in Linux

Show processlist;

Which gives us the result as:
Output:
+—–+——+———–+———————+———+——+——-+——————+

| Id  | User | Host      | db                      | Command | Time | State | Info             |

+—–+——+———–+———————+———+——+——-+——————+

| 242 | root | localhost |      test_db    | Query   |    0 | NULL  | show processlist |

+—–+——+———–+———————+———+——+——-+——————+

The output shows how many connections are active and their properties.
But for this you need to run the query again and again to analyse the connections information. For a better experience we can use mytop  which is very easy to install and just like the top in linux, simple steps need to be followed to make it work.

Step 1:Install mytop using the following command.

anuj@intelligrape:~$ sudo apt-get install mytop
Step 2:
After installation we need make a configuration file .mysqlconfig any where
e.g
anuj@intelligrape:~$ vim .mysqlconfig
user=

pass=

host=localhost

db=db_name

delay=5

port=330

6socket=

batchmode=0

header=1

color=1

idle=1

For more option you can refer to documentation of mytop .
Step 3:
Now just need run this command to see the mysqltop working.
anuj@intelligrape:~$ mytop ~/.mysqlconfig
output:

Thats it ! Internally it runs the query “show processlist” and is very elegant for analysing mysql connections.

This helps me! Hope this helps you guys!
