General recommendations:
    Control warning line(s) into /var/lib/mysql/xx.xx.com.err file
    Control error line(s) into /var/lib/mysql/xx.xx.com.err file
    MySQL started within last 24 hours - recommendations may be inaccurate
    Reduce your overall MySQL memory footprint for system stability
    Dedicate this server to your database for highest performance.
    Temporary table size is already large - reduce result set size
    Reduce your SELECT DISTINCT queries without LIMIT clauses
    Performance should be activated for better diagnostics
    Consider installing Sys schema from https://github.com/mysql/mysql-sys
Variables to adjust:
  *** MySQL's maximum memory usage is dangerously high ***
  *** Add RAM before increasing MySQL buffer variables ***
    query_cache_type (=0)
    performance_schema = ON enable PFS
    innodb_log_file_size * innodb_log_files_in_group should be equals to 1/4 of buffer pool size (=2G) if possible.
    innodb_buffer_pool_instances(=4)

Can I make changes to my my.cnf to prevent server from hanging ?


Solution

  • High CPU usage --> Inadequate indexes and/or poorly written queries. Period. End of discussion. So show us the queries and SHOW CREATE TABLE.

    Oh, there is something that can hurt CPU:

    query_cache_size=2084M -- No more than 50M !
    

    When any write occurs, all entries in the QC for the modified table are purged. The bigger the QC, the more costly this is.

    If you are using entirely InnoDB, then change this:

    innodb_buffer_pool_size=4G -- to 30G
    

    Much too big:

    max_connections=100000 -- drop to 1000
    tmp_table_size=5042M -- 400M
    thread_cache_size=2042M -- 10 is usually sufficient
    

    OUCH!! That is 2 billion entries, not 2GB! Drop it to a plain 10 !!

    I quit. Remove all the changes you made, then add one change:

    innodb_buffer_pool_size=4G -- to 30G
    

    That will keep you out of trouble. Then we can discuss the slowest query.
