15:08 < iMacGyver> in mysql-administrator, in the health section is has number of queries over time
15:09 < iMacGyver> is that simultanious queries per second or something?
15:09 < iMacGyver> the docs just say it's com_select variable, but i can't find out what com_select is and how often it's sampled
15:10 -!- skyfallsin_ [n=pradeep@pool-138-88-223-202.res.east.verizon.net] has joined #mysql
15:10 -!- gander [n=gander@agander.plus.com] has quit [Connection timed out]
15:10 < zircu> iirc it is how many selects that were issued for the uptime of the server
15:11 < iMacGyver> but it goes up and down
15:11 -!- gander [n=gander@agander.plus.com] has joined #mysql
15:11 < iMacGyver> This is a representation os the com_select status variable. This does not represent total queries since server startup,
but instead represents the current number of queries (the com_select variable is a cumulative total).
15:12 < iMacGyver> from the docs
15:12 < gleam_> com_select doesn't include selects caught by the query cache
15:12 < gleam_> iirc
15:12 < iMacGyver> yeah i realized that :)
15:12 < iMacGyver> but still don't know if it's a time-frame or what...
15:12 < iMacGyver> it says 'current number of queries'
15:12 -!- andrewbryson [n=bob@166-179-16-67.jamamobile.co.nz] has joined #mysql
15:13 < iMacGyver> but then says cumulative total...
15:13 < iMacGyver> so maybe the graph is just sampling?
15:13 < gleam_> oh
15:13 -!- burtonator [n=kevinbur@h-67-103-44-6.snfccasy.covad.net] has quit [Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)]
15:13 < gleam_> yes, the graph is just sampling
15:13 < iMacGyver> do you know the sample rate?
15:13 < gleam_> it takes the counter, polls again in 5 seconds, and finds the difference
15:13 < gleam_> 5 i'm making up
15:13 < gleam_> id on't know what it actually is
15:13 < zircu> iMacGyver: looking at: http://mysql.osuosl.org/doc/administrator/en/mysql-administrator-health-connection-health.html it says
it *isn't* com_select
15:13 < iMacGyver> hehe, that's what i'm trying to find out
15:14 -!- EricCartman [n=engin@unaffiliated/EricCartman] has quit [Remote closed the connection]
15:14 < zircu> iMacGyver: it is the current queries being executed
15:14 < iMacGyver> zircu: i just pasted from that page above
15:14 -!- suv4x4 [i=suv4x4@87.126.40.101] has quit []
15:14 < iMacGyver> zircu: "This is a representation os the com_select status variable."
15:14 < zircu> it probably uses com_select to find out the difference in quantities so it can graph the data
15:15 < iMacGyver> yes, but how often does it sample...
15:15 < zircu> that i dont know, depends on the refresh rate i would think, i havn't used the mysql-admin tool in a while
15:15 < iMacGyver> i want to see what exactly 'current number of queries' means
