Parallel Query Metrics

Last updated: 2023-01-12 11:56:02
    This document describes the monitoring metrics offered by TDSQL-C for MySQL to help you monitor the operations related to parallel database query in real time.

    Prerequisites

    Database version: TDSQL-C for MySQL 8.0 on kernel version 3.1.8 or later.

    Best practices for monitoring

    The following lists some special issues for which you should check the metrics and their solutions. Example 1: The value of Parallelly Queried Threads is always equal to the value set by txsql_max_parallel_worker_threads. Solution: This example indicates that the threads are always fully loaded. We recommend you increase the value of the txsql_max_parallel_worker_threads parameter when the CPU utilization is low.
    Example 2: The value of Failed Parallel Queries increases. Solution: Check the CPU utilization and memory utilization. If the load becomes significantly higher, we recommend you reduce the value of txsql_parallel_degree to 1/4 of the number of CPU cores.
    Example 3: The value of Parallel-to-Serial Queries increases. Solution: This example indicates that the currently executed SQL statement does not meet the conditions for parallel query. We recommend you increase the total number of threads (txsql_max_parallel_worker_threads) or the maximum memory (txsql_optimizer_context_max_mem_size) of the parallel query plan environment that a single statement can apply for, so as to ensure that parallel query can be used for SQL statements.
