在使用Innodb做为存储引擎的数据库系统中，可以使用innodb_monitor 来监控数据库的性能，启动innodb_monitor的方法为 Create table innodb_monitor (i int) engine=innodb 通过建立这个表就启动了innodb_monitor，监控的结果并不会记录到这个表中，而是记录到了mysql的err日志中，如果我们想监控更我的关于innodb的锁信息还可更进一步的建立表create table innodb_lock_monitor (i int) engine=innodb 这样在日志中会加入更多的锁信息，如果要关闭监控只要简单的删除这两个表就可以了.Drop table innodb_monitor; drop table innodb_lock_monitor;
用InnoDB monitor 可以监控死锁的情况等用InnoDB monitor 可以监控死锁的情况等
InnoDB引擎提供了一个monitor，可以通过monitor一窥其内部的一些统计信息，也可以说是了解InnoDB引擎的一个很好的窗口。
我们最熟悉的，应当就是show innodb status命令，可以直接在客户端输出很多的信息。其实InnoDB monitor一共有四种模式，show innodb status只是其一种模式的直接展现，并且只能交互式开启，无法自动循环捕获信息。另外还有一种适合四种模式的开启方式，则是通过创建一张特殊的innodb表来开启，开启后会按照固定的时间间隔循环，输出信息到log-error参数指定的错误日志文件中，通过drop对应的表，可以停止monitor。
四种monitor分别是:
innodb_monitor：create table innodb_monitor(x int) engine=innodb;
innodb_lock_monitor：create table innodb_lock_monitor(x int) engine=innodb;
innodb_table_monitor：create table innodb_table_monitor(x int) engine=innodb;
innodb_tablespace_monitor：create table innodb_tablespace_monitor(x int) engine=innodb;
根据我在5.1.36版本中实际观察到的结果，innodb_monitor/innodb_lock_monitor开启后的执行周期是16s（参考手册上说是15s），而innodb_table_monitor/innodb_tablespace_monitor的执行周期是64s。开启monitor后因为是持续周期性的运行的，在不需要的时候一定要记得drop相关表来停止monitor。如果在开启monitor的中间服务器有重启，monitor不会自动重启，并且在下次启动monitor之前，必须先执行停止操作。
其中innodb_monitor/innodb_lock_monitor两种监视器的输出结果基本类似，后者会有更多关于锁的信息，而前一个实际上就是show innodb status。innodb_table_monitor则会将系统中所有innodb的表的一些结构和内部信息输出，而innodb_tablespace_monitor则输出的是tablespace的信息，注意该monitor输出的只是共享表空间的信息，如果使用innodb_file_per_table为每个表使用独立的表空间，则这些表空间的信息是不会包含在输出中的。
以下是一些简单的示例：
