issues

mk-audit was originally created to be a one-stop MySQL server auditing solution. This task is too large for one script to accomplish without suffering from bloat, bugs, and ugly code. (See the issues link for an idea of the kind of issues this tool currently suffers.)

This tool also violates the Maatkit philosophy of doing one thing and doing it well. Instead, it takes the bit between its teeth and runs.

The solution to this is to build more specialized, single-purpose tools that can be controlled and understood easily. We will decommission mk-audit and build its functionality into mk_schema_audit, mk_query_audit and mk_status_audit.
