Only the file /var/lib/mysql/mysqld.err is collected in qkview without truncation rules normally used for log files. Also, the mysqld.err.1 and mysqld.err.2.gz, etc are not collected at all.
You cannot see other mysqld.err rollover files in the qkview, and since the one mysqld.err file might be huge (larger than 2 GB) the output of qkview will be unusable.
This occurs when generating a qkview.
The missing files must be manually copied into the qkview output. If the mysqld.err is greater than 2 GB in size, it must first be truncated to smaller than 2 GB.
With this fix, the files /usr/lib/mysql/mysqld.err and associated rollover files (up through .7.gz) will be collected by qkview. Also the truncation/transformation rules that are used for log files will also apply (using -s <size> to modify default behavior), meaning that files greater than 5 MB (by default) will be truncated and there is a maximum limit of 75 MB for any given log file (using -s0).
