Logging all SQL queries

[Gioele Barabucci]

Hello,

I'm some of the SQL queries made by AtoM is not handled well by the SQL
server (qubit_dev.log shows `SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 2006 MySQL
server has gone away`) and I would like to understand why.

I tried using `PropelPDO::useDebug(true)` as suggested by
<http://propelorm.org/Propel/documentation/08-logging.html> but it looks
like the Propel version embedded in AtoM does not support that method
(nor any of the others described in that page). Also, the very nice SF
debugging toolbar is useless in this case because the MySQL error
arrives so late that the connection times out before the PHP code can
produce any output.

Is there a way to log _all_ the SQL queries to a file?

Regards,

Hi Gioele,

You can view all queries going through MySQL by using the General Query Log. 

The short version is log into MySQL as an administrative user (such as root), and use the following commands:

mysql> SET GLOBAL general_log = 1;

mysql> SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'general_log_file';

The first line enables query logging. The second line will give you a file location where all queries going through MySQL will be logged. When you're finished running the queries you wanted to log, don't forget to turn off the general query log (as the file will get large after a while if you leave it on):

mysql> SET GLOBAL general_log = 0;

So say your general query log path in the second command above returned /var/lib/mysql/myhost.log, all the queries you issued should now be in that file.

Hope this helps.

Hi Mike,

I cannot enable the log on the MySQL server because the server is a
remote server (well, one meter away) that is used for many other
projects and has thousands of requests per second. I already asked the
DBAs to enable sql-server-side logs but they answered no.

This problem does not appear when using MySQL on localhost.

The only way I see to pinpoint this is to log on the web server every
query made by AtoM, but I do not see how to do that in the version of
Propel bundled with AtoM.

Bye,

Hi Gioele,

I have recently added some documentation about logging in AtoM 2 here: https://www.accesstomemory.org/en/docs/2.0/admin-manual/maintenance/logging/#maintenance-logging

I hope that helps you get a bit more information.
