Mutex Page

A mutex (mutual exclusion object) is a program object (with a unique name or ID) that allows multiple threads to share the same resource. A mutex for a resource is created when a relevant program is started.

When a thread needs to use the resource, the mutex locks the resource to prevent it being used by other threads. A thread that has been locked out is put in a queue, and given control of the resource only when it reaches the front of the queue and the mutex is unlocked.

To open the mutex page

  1. Select the Spotlight on MySQL connection in the Spotlight Browser.
  2. Click Activity | Mutex.

A table of mutex activity for the current Spotlight on MySQL connection is displayed in the Mutex page of the Activity drilldown.

Column Description

The name of the mutex.

Mutex Count

The total number of times a thread has obtained the mutex.

OS Wait Time

The time spent sleeping between attempts to gain the mutex. MySQL needs to be running in --timed-mutexes option for this to be populated.
