The stats_instance() operator provides per-instance resource statistics. Available only in the Enterprise Edition.

Synopsis

stats_instance()

Provides per-instance resource statistics.

Library

The stats_instance() operator resides in the monitor library. Run the following query to load this library:

AFL% load_library('monitor');

Summary

The stats_instance() operator lets you gather per-instance SciDB resource statistics for diagnostic purposes.

Some of the attributes are disabled if the resource-monitoring variable set to False in the config.ini.

Examples

Full stats_instance() Statistics

To create the full set of stats_instance() statistics, run the following:

$ iquery -aq "stats_instance();"

The output is:

{inst,n} host_name,ip_address,process_id,time_since_start_ms,time_since_reset_ms,time_cpu_active_ms,net_send_bytes,net_recv_bytes,mem_available_bytes,mem_allocated_bytes,mem_allocations,mem_peak_usage_bytes,num_active_queries,cache_used_mem_size,cache_swap_bytes,cache_swap_num,cache_load_bytes,cache_load_num,cache_drop_bytes,cache_drop_num,time_cache_write_ms,time_cache_read_ms,num_db_wr,bytes_compr_db_wr,bytes_decomp_db_wr,num_db_rd,bytes_compr_db_rd,bytes_decomp_db_rd,time_catalog_access_ms

Subset of stats_instance() Statistics

To create a subset of stats_instance() statistics (this example captures memory statistics), run the following:

$ iquery -aq "project(stats_instance(), mem_available_bytes, mem_allocations, mem_allocated_bytes, mem_peak_usage_bytes);"

The output is:

{inst,n} mem_available_bytes,mem_allocations,mem_allocated_bytes,mem_peak_usage_bytes
{0,0} 1152921504606846975,1,67117080,201334840
{1,0} 1152921504606846975,1,67117080,67117080
{2,0} 1152921504606846975,1,67117080,67117080
{3,0} 1152921504606846975,1,67117080,67117080

Individual stats_instance() Statistic

To view an individual stats_instance() statistic (in this case, the size of chunks sent across the network in bytes), run the following:

$ iquery -aq "project(stats_instance(), net_send_bytes);"

The output is:

{inst,n} net_send_bytes
{0,0} 7004
{1,0} 2160
{2,0} 2160
{3,0} 2160
