history

Project history and usage

MySQLTuner is a Perl script for reviewing a MySQL-family server and producing configuration and performance recommendations. The maintained jmrenouard fork describes it as a tool that retrieves configuration variables and status data, then presents a compact report with suggestions for performance and stability. The script headers credit Major Hayden from 2006 onward and Jean-Marie Renouard from 2015 onward, which matches the project's split between the original `major/MySQLTuner-perl` lineage and the active `jmrenouard/MySQLTuner-perl` repository.

How it is used

The tool's niche is advisory rather than automatic tuning. Its README emphasizes MySQL, MariaDB, Percona Server, Galera, InnoDB, MyISAM, Performance Schema, Linux OS metrics, cloud autodiscovery, SSL/TLS checks, authentication auditing, schema modeling, predictive capacity planning, and health scoring. It also warns users to understand every recommendation, test on staging, and collect enough uptime before trusting the report. Homebrew packages it as the `mysqltuner` formula, giving DBAs and developers a quick CLI audit tool for local, remote, and packaged MySQL installations.
