26.4.3.22 The processlist and x$processlist Views

The MySQL process list indicates the operations currently being performed by the set of threads executing within the server. The processlist and x$processlist views summarize process information. They provide more complete information than the SHOW PROCESSLIST statement and the INFORMATION_SCHEMA PROCESSLIST table, and are also nonblocking. By default, rows are sorted by descending process time and descending wait time. For a comparison of process information sources, see Sources of Process Information.

The column descriptions here are brief. For additional information, see the description of the Performance Schema threads table at Section 25.12.16.4, “The threads Table”.
