I have the following slow query information setup in mysql.
SHOW VARIABLES LIKE '%SLOW%';
Variable_name Value
log_slow_queries ON
slow_launch_time 2
slow_query_log ON
slow_query_log_file /var/log/mysql/slow-queries.log
The log file has the following premissions:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Sep 11 14:31 slow-queries.log
The my.cnf file looks like this:
back_log = 2000
slow_query_log = 1
slow_query_log_file = 1
long_query_time = 1
general_log = 1
log-slow-queries=/var/log/mysql/slow-queries.log
From mytop I can see that I have slow queries, but I don't see anything writing to the logs.
