Node status

STATUS

The easiest way to see high-level information about your Manticore node is by running status in mysql client. It will show you information about different things:

  • current version
  • whether SSL is in effect or not
  • current TCP port/unix socket
  • uptime
  • number of threads
  • number of jobs in queue
  • number of connections (clients)
  • number of tasks being processed now
  • number of queries made since start
  • number or jobs in queue and number of tasks normalized by number of threads

SHOW STATUS

SHOW STATUS [ LIKE pattern ]

SHOW STATUS is an SQL statement that displays a number of useful performance counters. IO and CPU counters will only be available if searchd was started with --iostats and --cpustats switches respectively (or they were enabled via SET GLOBAL iostats/cpustats=1).

An optional LIKE clause is supported. It lets you pick just the variables that match a pattern. The pattern syntax is that of regular SQL wildcards, that is, % means any number of any characters, and _ means a single character.

SHOW AGENT STATUS

SHOW AGENT ['agent_or_index'] STATUS [ LIKE pattern ]

SHOW AGENT STATUS displays the statistic of remote agents or of a distributed index. It includes the values like the age of the last request, last answer, the number of different kind of errors and successes, etc. Statistic is shown for every agent for last 1, 5 and 15 intervals, each of them of ha_period_karma seconds.

Finally, you can check the status of the agents in a specific distributed index. It can be done with a SHOW AGENT index_name STATUS statement. That statement shows the index HA status (i.e. whether or not it uses agent mirrors at all), and then the mirror information (specifically: address, blackhole and persistent flags, and the mirror selection probability used when one of the weighted probability strategies is in effect).

SHOW META needs to run right after the query was executed in the same session. As some mysql connectors/libraries use connection pools, running SHOW META in a separate statement an lead to unexpected results like getting meta from another query. In these cases (and recommended in general) is to run a multiple statement containing query + SHOW META. Some connectors/libraries support o multi-queries on same method for single statement, other may require usage of a dedicated method for multi-queries or setting specific options at connection setup.

You can also use the optional LIKE clause. It lets you pick just the variables that match a pattern. The pattern syntax is that of regular SQL wildcards, that is, % means any number of any characters, and _ means a single character.

SHOW META for PQ indexes

SHOW META can be used after executing a CALL PQ statement. In this case, it provides a different output.

SHOW META after a CALL PQ statement contains:

  • Total - total time spent on matching the document(s)
  • Queries matched- how many stored queries match the document(s)
  • Document matches - how many documents matched the queries stored in the index
  • Total queries stored - number of queries stored in the index
  • Term only queries - how many queries in the index have terms. The rest of the queries have extended query syntax.

CALL PQ with a verbose option gives a more detailed output.

It includes the following additional entries:

  • Setup - time spent on initial setup of the matching process: parsing docs, setting options, etc.
  • Queries failed - number of queries that failed
  • Fast rejected queries - number of queries that were not fully evaluated, but quickly matched and rejected with filters or other conditions
  • Time per query - detailed times for each query
  • Time of matched queries - total time spent on queries that matched any documents

SHOW THREADS

SHOW THREADS [ OPTION columns=width[,format=sphinxql][,format=all] ]

SHOW THREADS is an SQL statement that lists all threads information about what they are doing at the moment.

It returns a table with following columns:

  • Tid: id assigned to the thread by the kernel
  • Name: thread name, you can also see this name in top, htop, ps and other unix tools to monitor thread's statistics
  • Proto: connection protocol, possible values are sphinx, mysql, http, ssl, compressed and replication or combination (e.g. http,ssl or compressed,mysql)
  • State: thread state, possible values are handshake, net_read, net_write, query, net_idle
  • Host: ip:port of the client
  • ConnID: connection id (starting from 0)
  • Time: current job's duration (in seconds, with microsecond precision) or uptime of the thread in case of format=all when the thread is idling
  • Work time: uptime of the thread
  • Work time CPU: effective CPU time (requires --cpustats)
  • Jobs done: how many jobs this thread has completed
  • Last job took: last job's duration
  • In idle: whether the thread is idling now or when it was last idling
  • Info: information about the query, can have multiple queries in case the query is against a distributed index or a real-time index

Info column shows:

  • raw text of queries run through Manticore SQL interface
  • full text syntax, comments and data size for queries run via internal Manticore binary protocol (e.g. from a remote Manticore instance)

Maximum width of the Info column can be limited by specifying the columns=N option (notice the second row in the example table).

By default, queries are shown in their original format. When the format=sphinxql option is specified, the queries will be shown in SQL format regardless of protocol through which they were executed.

format=all displays all threads, otherwise idling and system threads are hidden (e.g. those busy with OPTIMIZE)
