MySQL is one of the most important programs on a server, unfortunately it is also pretty resource intensive. One a  server it is not uncommon for a single user or even a query to take up the bulk of the servers CPU cycles. Mytop is a very useful program to see what queries a server is currently processing as well as which user is executing them. Think of mytop as top for mysql. If you see a lot from a user that means they are probably the hog. Mytop can also be useful for figuring out exactly which queries are causing the problem in the case of a self-designed website.

The following commands use  how to install mytop on the server and run it.

1) To Install Term Read Key:

cd /usr/local/src

wget http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/J/JS/JSTOWE/TermReadKey-2.30.tar.gz

tar -zxf TermReadKey-2.30.tar.gz

cd TermRead*

perl Makefile.PL

make test

make

make install

cd ..

2) Now,To Install DBI:

wget http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/T/TI/TIMB/DBI-1.48.tar.gz

tar -zxf DBI-1.48.tar.gz

cd DBI*

perl Makefile.PL

make test

make

make install

cd ..

3) Finally  To Install MYTOP:

wget http://jeremy.zawodny.com/mysql/mytop/mytop-1.4.tar.gz

tar -zxf mytop-1.4.tar.gz

cd mytop*

perl Makefile.PL

make test

make

make install

NOTE: You may get following error in CentOS 5.3

Error in option spec: “long|!”

Search for the line in Makefile.PL

“long|!” => \$config{long_nums},

Change it to by commenting using #

#”long|!” => \$config{long_nums},
