SHOW THREADS [ OPTION columns=width[,format=sphinxql][,format=all] ]SHOW THREADS is an SQL statement that displays information about all threads and their current activities.
The resulting table contains the following columns:
TID: ID assigned to the thread by the kernelName: Thread name, also visible intop,htop,ps, and other process-viewing toolsProto: Connection protocol; possible values includesphinx,mysql,http,ssl,compressed,replication, or a combination (e.g.,http,sslorcompressed,mysql)State: Thread state; possible values arehandshake,net_read,net_write,query,net_idleConnection from: Client'sip:portConnID: Connection ID (starting from 0)This/prev job time: When the thread is busy - how long the current job has been running; when the thread is idling - previous job duration + suffixprevJobs done: Number of jobs completed by this threadThread status:idlingorworkingInfo: Information about the query, which may include multiple queries if the query targets a distributed table or a real-time table

]The Info column displays:
- Raw text of queries executed via the Manticore SQL interface
- Full text syntax, comments, and data size for queries run through the internal Manticore binary protocol (e.g., from a remote Manticore instance)
You can limit the maximum width of the Info column by specifying the columns=N option.
By default, queries are displayed in their original format. However, when the format=sphinxql option is used, queries will be shown in SQL format, regardless of the protocol used for execution.
Using format=all will show all threads, while idling and system threads are hidden without this option (e.g., those busy with OPTIMIZE).

SHOW VERSIONNOTE:
SHOW VERSIONrequires Manticore Buddy. If it doesn't work, make sure Buddy is installed.
SHOW VERSION provides detailed version information of various components of the Manticore Search instance. This command is particularly useful for administrators and developers who need to verify the version of Manticore Search they are running, along with the versions of its associated components.
The output table includes two columns:
Component: This column names the specific component of Manticore Search.Version: This column displays the version information for the respective component.
