Sniffing mysql queries

There are times when sniffing what queries mysql is running is the fastest way to troubleshoot a potential bug. So *temporarily* you can look into what is going with:
mysql> SET GLOBAL general_log = 'ON';
mysql> SET GLOBAL general_log_file = '/var/log/mysql/mysql.log';
$ tail -f   /var/log/mysql/mysql.log
Of course do not forget to put it back to OFF after you get enough log to troubleshoot:
mysql> SET GLOBAL general_log = 'OFF';
