Where can I find MySQL logs in phpMyAdmin?

Question

Where can I find the MySQL\'s logs (errors, queries, etc.) in the phpMyAdmin interface?

Answer 1

Use performance_schema database and the tables:

1. events_statements_current
2. events_statemenets_history
3. events_statemenets_history_long

Check the manual here

Answer 2

I am using phpMyAdmin version 4.2.11. At the time of writing, my Status tab looks like this (a few options expanded; note "Current settings", bottom right):

Note, there are no directly visible "features" that allow for the enabling of things such as slow_query_log. So, I went digging on the internet because UI-oriented answers will only be relevant to a particular release and, therefore, will quickly become out of date. So, what do you do if you don't see a relevant answer, above?

As this article explains, you can run a global query to enable or disable the slow_query_log et al. The queries for enabling and disabling these logs are not difficult, so don't be afraid of them, e.g.

SET GLOBAL slow_query_log = 'ON';

From here, phpMyAdmin is pretty helpful and a bit of Googling will get you up to speed in no time. For instance, after I ran the above query, I can go back to the "Instructions/Setup" option under the Status tab's Monitor window and see this (note the further instructions):

Answer 3

In phpMyAdmin 4.0, you go to Status > Monitor. In there you can enable the slow query log and general log, see a live monitor, select a portion of the graph, see the related queries and analyse them.

Answer 4

Open your PHPMyAdmin, don't select any database and look for Binary Log tab . You can select different logs from a drop down list and press GO Button to view them.

Answer 5

If you are using XAMPP as your server, you'll find a logs directory as a child of the XAMPP directory. If you have not tried XAMPP, which runs on any system (Windows, Mac OS & Linux) find more here: http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html

Answer 6

I had the same problem of @rutherford, today the new phpMyAdmin's 3.4.11.1 GUI is different, so I figure out it's better if someone improves the answers with updated info.

Full mysql logs can be found in:

"Status"->"Binary Log"

This is the answer, doesn't matter if you're using MAMP, XAMPP, LAMP, etc.
