Installing mytop - top clone for MySQL

To install mytop...
wget http://dll.elix.us/mytop-1.4.tar.gz
tar -zxvf mytop-1.4.tar.gz
cd mytop-1.4
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install


To access mytop, use the command:

mytop

I found mytop very useful for monitoring MySQL performance.

Indeed, mytop is useful, and something else to add to my template todo list.

I'll also get an RPM built for it and roll it out across the repos - they you'll beable to yum install it. =)

I've been using it for some time as well now... a very useful program indeed, highly recommended

Hi,
I tried installing but maybe you haven't enabled this yet?
Her's what I got:

[~]# yum install mytop
Gathering header information file(s) from server(s)
Server: Fedora Core 2 - i386 - Base
Server: Fedora Core 2 - i386 - Released Updates
Finding updated packages
Downloading needed headers
No Packages Available for Update or Install
No actions to take


Thanks

Newbie question ?

In which directory should I install or wget the mytop program ?

wget http://dll.elix.us/mytop-1.4.tar.gz

Any good tutorial out there ? I was thinking that maybe it should go in the usr/src directory ?

It's not important where you wget it.
I will be installed automatically to /usr/bin/mytop

[canuck]

Thanks ....

[canuck]

What about the leftovers in usr/src/mytop-1.4/ ?

Do I need to keep this stuff ? Or is this just an install directory....

If I want to remove mytop later, how do I do this ?

sorry for the newbie stuff !

[ozgreg]

You can remove the install directories unless you want to keep them.. I installed mine via YUM

[canuck]

Is it easy to remove later "mytop" ?

[ozgreg]

You really do not need to, it is just a command line application, the only overhead is a few K in diskspace..

I'm 43 and just learning this stuff Hi Hi

Are you using the default installation of yum? Or did you installed it byyourself?

Not all VPS seem to be on the same OS. Mine is not on Fedora Core 2 - i386 but on Red Hat Linux 9 - i386.

The default yum repositories doesn't seem to contain mytop. Or isn't the package called mytop?

[canuck]

I had to install it myself. Yum did not work for me.

[ozgreg]

I am using the DAG RPM Repository and it had mytop in it..

Thanks for pointing that out.

I am still a bit confused that VPS are mixed running on Fedora 2 and RedHat 9.

I will try the RedHat branch on Dag. Or will PowerVPS consolidate on Fedora 3 soon?

mytop is not in the RedHat9 branch on Dag. I installed it by hand. Who else is on RH9. I feel so lonely with all thoses Fedoras around :rolleyes:

Who else is on RH9. I feel so lonely with all thoses Fedoras around :rolleyes:
I'm on RH9. Old is gold! :p :D

Awesome post. :)

Thanks, elix for the wonderful info.

By the way, have anyone used mtop as well? Was wondering how it fared compared to mytop.

Here's the link.
