Hi Carlos, Different possibilities (to log slow queries).
1) A probabilistic way to catch slow queries (probabilistic, but with detailed info) => look for “nodetool settraceprobability” like in http://www.datastax.com/dev/blog/advanced-request-tracing-in-cassandra-1-2 2) Catch slow queries in the driver (it’s a recent feature, available for newest drivers only) => see http://datastax.github.io/java-driver/2.0.10/features/logging/#logging-query-latencies 3) Catch slow queries on server-side (but only with C* 2.1) => see slides 15-17 "Lesser Known Features of Cassandra 2.1" http://fr.slideshare.net/planetcassandra/cassandra-summit-2014-lesser-known-features-of-cassandra-21 On our side, we are more keen to use (2) – which has the best ROI (IMHO).

I'm facing slow read requests from time to time, I've spotted the keyspace/cf where this is happening but I can't see anything obvious (single partition slice query, no tombstones, ...) anything else where to look at? I'd like to have the slow queries logged to either log or saved to a particular column family to analyse them later. I've googled about this and the only 'easy' solution available out there seems to be DataStax Enterprise. What are you guys using?
