About:
Innotop is a powerful command-line monitoring utility for MySQL that displays real-time server performance metrics in an interactive, top-like interface. It provides deep visibility into process lists, InnoDB engine statistics, query activity, and server variables. This tool is essential for database administrators needing to diagnose performance bottlenecks and monitor database health efficiently.
Key Features:
  • Real-time monitoring of MySQL queries and processes
  • InnoDB engine statistics and buffer pool analysis
  • Interactive mode with keyboard shortcuts for navigation
  • Support for multiple server connections and modes
Use Cases:
  • Diagnosing slow query performance in production MySQL environments
  • Monitoring real-time database load and connection patterns
  • Analyzing InnoDB buffer pool efficiency and lock contention
Alternatives:
  • mytop – Similar real-time monitoring but innotop offers more detailed InnoDB-specific metrics and interactive modes
  • pt-query-digest – Better for log analysis and historical query performance rather than real-time monitoring
