1.

Backup and Recovery

 Full Backup: Regularly create full backups using tools like mysqldump, mysqlpump,
or physical backups using Percona XtraBackup or MySQL Enterprise Backup.
 Incremental Backup: Capture changes made since the last backup using binary logs.
 Test Backups: Regularly restore backups to test their integrity.

2. Performance Optimization

 Analyze and Optimize Tables:

ANALYZE TABLE table_name;


OPTIMIZE TABLE table_name;

o ANALYZE TABLE updates table statistics for the query optimizer.


o OPTIMIZE TABLE defragments tables and reclaims unused space for InnoDB
and MyISAM.
 Query Optimization:
o Use EXPLAIN or ANALYZE to analyze query execution plans.
o Optimize slow queries identified from the slow query log.
 Index Maintenance:
o Regularly review and rebuild fragmented indexes:

ALTER TABLE table_name ENGINE=InnoDB;

o Drop unused or duplicate indexes.

3. Log Management

 Rotate Logs: Use FLUSH LOGS to rotate logs and prevent them from growing too
large.
 Monitor Logs:
o Error log for critical issues.
o Slow query log for performance bottlenecks.
o General query log (if enabled) for activity monitoring.

4. Storage Management

 Tablespace Management:
o Reclaim unused space by reconfiguring or defragmenting large tablespaces.
o Move data files if disk space becomes an issue.
 Binary Log Management:
o Purge outdated binary logs to free up space:
PURGE BINARY LOGS TO 'log_name';

5. Security Maintenance

 Account Management:
o Remove unused user accounts and enforce strong passwords.
o Regularly review privileges:

SHOW GRANTS FOR 'user_name';

 SSL/TLS Configuration: Ensure secure communication between the client and


server.
 Audit and Monitor: Use plugins like MySQL Enterprise Audit or third-party tools
for compliance and security monitoring.

6. Monitoring and Health Checks

 Monitor Server Metrics:


o Use tools like performance_schema and sys schema to monitor server health.
o Key metrics: Buffer pool usage, CPU, disk I/O, and query response times.
 Check Table Health:

CHECK TABLE table_name;

o Identifies corrupt tables and data inconsistencies.


 Disk Usage Monitoring:
o Regularly check disk space for the data directory and logs.

7. Upgrade and Patching

 Apply Updates:
o Regularly patch MySQL to the latest version to fix bugs and improve security.
 Test Before Upgrading:
o Validate schema and queries for compatibility with the new version.

8. Replication Maintenance

 Monitor Replication Lag:

SHOW SLAVE STATUS\G;

 Resynchronize Replicas:
o Identify and fix errors in replication.
9. Archiving and Purging Old Data

 Partitioning:
o Use partitioning to archive old data without affecting performance.
 Manual Cleanup:
o Use queries to delete outdated rows or data.

10. Configuration Reviews

 Parameter Tuning:
o Optimize innodb_buffer_pool_size, query_cache_size,
max_connections, and other parameters.
 Review Environment Variables:
o Ensure proper settings for tmpdir, datadir, and log paths.
