# The MySQL sys schema A collection of views, functions and procedures to help MySQL administrators get insight in to MySQL Database usage. There are install files available for 5.6 and 5.7 respectively. To load these, you must position yourself within the directory that you downloaded to, as these top level files SOURCE individual files that are shared across versions in most cases (though not all). ## Overview of objects ### Tables #### sys_config ##### Description Holds configuration options for the sys schema. This is a persistent table, with the configuration persisting across upgrades (new options are added with `INSERT IGNORE`). Its structure is as follows: ```SQL +----------+--------------+------+-----+-------------------+-----------------------------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +----------+--------------+------+-----+-------------------+-----------------------------+ | variable | varchar(128) | NO | PRI | NULL | | | value | varchar(128) | YES | | NULL | | | set_time | timestamp | NO | | CURRENT_TIMESTAMP | on update CURRENT_TIMESTAMP | | set_by | varchar(128) | YES | | NULL | | +----------+--------------+------+-----+-------------------+-----------------------------+ ``` Note, when functions check for configuration options, they first check whether a similar named user variable exists with a value, and if this is not set then pull the configuration option from this table in to that named user variable. This is done for performance reasons (to not continually `SELECT` from the table), however this comes with the side effect that once inited, the values last with the session, somewhat like how session variables are inited from global variables. If the values within this table are changed, they will not take effect until the user logs in again. ##### Options included | Variable | Default Value | Description | | ------------------------------------ | ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | statement_truncate_len | 64 | Sets the size to truncate statements to, for the `format_statement()` function. | | statement_performance_analyzer.limit | 100 | The maximum number of rows to include for the views that does not have a built-in limit (e.g. the 95th percentile view). If not set the limit is 100. | | statement_performance_analyzer.view | NULL | Used together with the 'custom' view. If the value contains a space, it is considered a query, otherwise it must be an existing view querying the performance_schema.events_statements_summary_by_digest table. | | diagnostics.allow_i_s_tables | OFF | Specifies whether it is allowed to do table scan queries on information_schema.TABLES for the `diagnostics` procedure. | | diagnostics.include_raw | OFF | Set to 'ON' to include the raw data (e.g. the original output of "SELECT * FROM sys.metrics") for the `diagnostics` procedure.| | ps_thread_trx_info.max_length | 65535 | Sets the maximum output length for JSON object output by the `ps_thread_trx_info()` function. | ### Views Many of the views in the sys schema have both a command line user friendly format output, as well as tooling friendly versions of any view that contains formatted output duplicated as an x$ table. The examples below show output for only the formatted views, and note where there is an x$ counterpart available. #### host_summary / x$host_summary ##### Description Summarizes statement activity, file IO and connections by host. When the host found is NULL, it is assumed to be a "background" thread. ##### Structures (5.7) ```SQL mysql> desc host_summary; +------------------------+---------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +------------------------+---------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | host | varchar(60) | YES | | NULL | | | statements | decimal(64,0) | YES | | NULL | | | statement_latency | text | YES | | NULL | | | statement_avg_latency | text | YES | | NULL | | | table_scans | decimal(65,0) | YES | | NULL | | | file_ios | decimal(64,0) | YES | | NULL | | | file_io_latency | text | YES | | NULL | | | current_connections | decimal(41,0) | YES | | NULL | | | total_connections | decimal(41,0) | YES | | NULL | | | unique_users | bigint(21) | NO | | 0 | | | current_memory | text | YES | | NULL | | | total_memory_allocated | text | YES | | NULL | | +------------------------+---------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ 12 rows in set (0.15 sec) mysql> desc x$host_summary; +------------------------+---------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +------------------------+---------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | host | varchar(60) | YES | | NULL | | | statements | decimal(64,0) | YES | | NULL | | | statement_latency | decimal(64,0) | YES | | NULL | | | statement_avg_latency | decimal(65,4) | YES | | NULL | | | table_scans | decimal(65,0) | YES | | NULL | | | file_ios | decimal(64,0) | YES | | NULL | | | file_io_latency | decimal(64,0) | YES | | NULL | | | current_connections | decimal(41,0) | YES | | NULL | | | total_connections | decimal(41,0) | YES | | NULL | | | unique_users | bigint(21) | NO | | 0 | | | current_memory | decimal(63,0) | YES | | NULL | | | total_memory_allocated | decimal(64,0) | YES | | NULL | | +------------------------+---------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ 12 rows in set (0.00 sec) ``` ##### Example ```SQL mysql> select * from host_summary; +------+------------+-------------------+-----------------------+-------------+----------+-----------------+---------------------+-------------------+--------------+ | host | statements | statement_latency | statement_avg_latency | table_scans | file_ios | file_io_latency | current_connections | total_connections | unique_users | +------+------------+-------------------+-----------------------+-------------+----------+-----------------+---------------------+-------------------+--------------+ | hal1 | 2924 | 00:03:59.53 | 81.92 ms | 82 | 54702 | 55.61 s | 1 | 1 | 1 | +------+------------+-------------------+-----------------------+-------------+----------+-----------------+---------------------+-------------------+--------------+ ``` #### host_summary_by_file_io / x$host_summary_by_file_io ##### Description Summarizes file IO totals per host.
