Scheduling SHOW ENGINE INNODB STATUS (1 reply)

Hi

This is regarding collection of Innodb health report at regular intervals.

From the documentation regarding enabling Innodb monitors, I can see "output generation does result in some performance decrement"
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/innodb-monitors.html

Do you think there can be the same performance decrement if we don't enable the Innodb monitors (by not creating the monitor tables), and just get the output of SHOW ENGINE INNODB STATUS into a file at regular schedules.
The purpose is to have regular snapshot information which can be used for analysis and comparison later when required. Just like we have in oracle with snapshot and AWR reports.

Thanks
