How can I track the number of active InnoDB threads?
To track the number of active InnoDB threads, you can use the following SQL query:
|
1 2 3 4 |
SELECT COUNT(*) AS active_innodb_threads FROM performance_schema.threads WHERE NAME LIKE 'thread/innodb/%' AND PROCESSLIST_ID IS NOT NULL; |
This query provides a count of active InnoDB threads by:
- Querying the
performance_schema.threadstable, which contains information about server threads - Filtering for threads with names starting with ‘thread/innodb/’, which identifies InnoDB-specific threads
- Ensuring the
PROCESSLIST_IDis not null, indicating an active thread
For more detailed information about each InnoDB thread, you can use:
|
1 2 3 4 |
SELECT thread_id, name, processlist_id, processlist_user, processlist_host FROM performance_schema.threads WHERE NAME LIKE 'thread/innodb/%' AND PROCESSLIST_ID IS NOT NULL; |
This query will show you the thread ID, name, process list ID, user, and host for each active InnoDB thread.
Additionally, you can use the InnoDB Standard Monitor to get comprehensive information about InnoDB threads and their activities. To view the Standard Monitor output, run:
|
1 |
SHOW ENGINE INNODB STATUS; |
In the output, look for the “BACKGROUND THREAD” section, which provides details about InnoDB background threads and their operations.
Remember that the number of InnoDB threads can be influenced by the innodb_thread_concurrency setting, which limits the number of concurrent threads. You may want to monitor this value and adjust it based on your system’s performance requirements.
