MySQLTuner is a script written in Perl that allows you to review a MySQL installation quickly and make adjustments to increase performance and stability. The current configuration variables and status data is retrieved and presented in a brief format along with some basic performance suggestions.
----- Download/Installation -----
You can download the entire repository by using 'git clone' followed by the cloning URL above. The simplest and shortest method is:
wget mysqltuner.pl
./mysqltuner.pl
Of course, you can add the execute bit (chmod +x mysqltuner.pl) so you can execute it without calling perl directly.
