View Live current mysql queries

For see from command line current execution of queries you can use:

$ mysqladmin -u bob -p -i 1 processlist

This will print the current queries on your screen every second.

• -u The mysql user you want to execute the command as
• -p Prompt for your password (so you don’t have to save it in a file or have the command appear in your command history)
• i The interval in seconds.

If you want to see output like “SHOW FULL PROCESSLIST” you can attach “–verbose” to the command.

Take a look at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/mysqladmin.html for more useful command to use with mysqladmin tool like:

$ mysqladmin -u bob -p -i 1 proc stat --verbose

that return something like:

+----+-------+-----------+----+---------+------+-------+-----------------------+
| Id | User  | Host      | db | Command | Time | State | Info                  |
+----+-------+-----------+----+---------+------+-------+-----------------------+
| 51 | monty | localhost |    | Query   | 0    |       | show full processlist |
+----+-------+-----------+----+---------+------+-------+-----------------------+
