Percona Toolkit is a collection of advanced command-line tools used by Percona support staff to perform a variety of MySQL and system tasks that are too difficult or complex to perform manually.
These tools are ideal alternatives to private or "one-off" scripts because they are professionally developed, formally tested, and fully documented. They are also fully self-contained, so installation is quick and easy and no libraries are installed.
Percona Toolkit is developed and supported by Percona Inc. For more information and other free, open-source software developed by Percona, visit http://www.percona.com/software/.
To install all tools, run:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
You probably need to be root to make install. On most systems, the tools
are installed in /usr/local/bin. See the INSTALL file for more information.
Run man percona-toolkit to see a list of installed tools, then man tool
to read the embedded documentation for a specific tool. You can also read
the documentation online at http://www.percona.com/software/percona-toolkit/.
Starting from version 3, there are new tools for MongoDB. These tools are written in Go so
