The MySQL server maintains many status variables that provide
information about its operation. You can view these variables and
their values by using the SHOW [GLOBAL | SESSION]
STATUS
statement (see Section 15.7.7.36, “SHOW STATUS Statement”).
The optional GLOBAL
keyword aggregates the
values over all connections, and SESSION
shows
the values for the current connection.

Many status variables are reset to 0 by the
FLUSH STATUS
statement.
This section provides a description of each status variable. For a status variable summary, see Section 7.1.6, “Server Status Variable Reference”. For information about status variables specific to NDB Cluster, see Section 25.4.3.9.3, “NDB Cluster Status Variables”.
The status variables have the following meanings.
The number of connections that were aborted because the client died without closing the connection properly. See Section B.3.2.9, “Communication Errors and Aborted Connections”.
The number of failed attempts to connect to the MySQL server. See Section B.3.2.9, “Communication Errors and Aborted Connections”.
For additional connection-related information, check the
Connection_errors_
status variables and thexxx
host_cache
table.Authentication_ldap_sasl_supported_methods
The
authentication_ldap_sasl
plugin that implements SASL LDAP authentication supports multiple authentication methods, but depending on host system configuration, they might not all be available. TheAuthentication_ldap_sasl_supported_methods
variable provides discoverability for the supported methods. Its value is a string consisting of supported method names separated by spaces. Example:"SCRAM-SHA 1 SCRAM-SHA-256 GSSAPI"
The number of transactions that used the temporary binary log cache but that exceeded the value of
binlog_cache_size
and used a temporary file to store statements from the transaction.The number of nontransactional statements that caused the binary log transaction cache to be written to disk is tracked separately in the
Binlog_stmt_cache_disk_use
status variable.The number of cached privilege objects. Each object is the privilege combination of a user and its active roles.
The number of transactions that used the binary log cache.
The number of nontransaction statements that used the binary log statement cache but that exceeded the value of
binlog_stmt_cache_size
and used a temporary file to store those statements.The number of nontransactional statements that used the binary log statement cache.
The number of bytes received from all clients.
The number of bytes sent to all clients.
Caching_sha2_password_rsa_public_key
The public key used by the
caching_sha2_password
authentication plugin for RSA key pair-based password exchange. The value is nonempty only if the server successfully initializes the private and public keys in the files named by thecaching_sha2_password_private_key_path
andcaching_sha2_password_public_key_path
system variables. The value ofCaching_sha2_password_rsa_public_key
comes from the latter file.The
Com_
statement counter variables indicate the number of times eachxxx
xxx
statement has been executed. There is one status variable for each type of statement. For example,Com_delete
andCom_update
countDELETE
andUPDATE
statements, respectively.Com_delete_multi
andCom_update_multi
are similar but apply toDELETE
andUPDATE
statements that use multiple-table syntax.All
Com_stmt_
variables are increased even if a prepared statement argument is unknown or an error occurred during execution. In other words, their values correspond to the number of requests issued, not to the number of requests successfully completed. For example, because status variables are initialized for each server startup and do not persist across restarts, thexxx
Com_restart
andCom_shutdown
variables that trackRESTART
andSHUTDOWN
statements normally have a value of zero, but can be nonzero ifRESTART
orSHUTDOWN
statements were executed but failed.The
Com_stmt_
status variables are as follows:xxx
Com_stmt_prepare
Com_stmt_execute
Com_stmt_fetch
Com_stmt_send_long_data
Com_stmt_reset
Com_stmt_close
Those variables stand for prepared statement commands. Their names refer to the
COM_
command set used in the network layer. In other words, their values increase whenever prepared statement API calls such as mysql_stmt_prepare(), mysql_stmt_execute(), and so forth are executed. However,xxx
Com_stmt_prepare
,Com_stmt_execute
andCom_stmt_close
also increase forPREPARE
,EXECUTE
, orDEALLOCATE PREPARE
, respectively. Additionally, the values of the older statement counter variablesCom_prepare_sql
,Com_execute_sql
, andCom_dealloc_sql
increase for thePREPARE
,EXECUTE
, andDEALLOCATE PREPARE
statements.Com_stmt_fetch
stands for the total number of network round-trips issued when fetching from cursors.Com_stmt_reprepare
indicates the number of times statements were automatically reprepared by the server, for example, after metadata changes to tables or views referred to by the statement. A reprepare operation incrementsCom_stmt_reprepare
, and alsoCom_stmt_prepare
.Com_explain_other
indicates the number ofEXPLAIN FOR CONNECTION
statements executed. See Section 10.8.4, “Obtaining Execution Plan Information for a Named Connection”.Com_change_repl_filter
indicates the number ofCHANGE REPLICATION FILTER
statements executed.Whether the client connection uses compression in the client/server protocol.
This status variable is deprecated; expect it to be removed in a future version of MySQL. See Configuring Legacy Connection Compression.
The name of the compression algorithm in use for the current connection to the server. The value can be any algorithm permitted in the value of the
protocol_compression_algorithms
system variable. For example, the value isuncompressed
if the connection does not use compression, orzlib
if the connection uses thezlib
algorithm.For more information, see Section 6.2.8, “Connection Compression Control”.
The compression level in use for the current connection to the server. The value is 6 for
zlib
connections (the defaultzlib
algorithm compression level), 1 to 22 forzstd
connections, and 0 foruncompressed
connections.For more information, see Section 6.2.8, “Connection Compression Control”.
These variables provide information about errors that occur during the client connection process. They are global only and represent error counts aggregated across connections from all hosts. These variables track errors not accounted for by the host cache (see Section 7.1.12.3, “DNS Lookups and the Host Cache”), such as errors that are not associated with TCP connections, occur very early in the connection process (even before an IP address is known), or are not specific to any particular IP address (such as out-of-memory conditions).
The number of errors that occurred during calls to
accept()
on the listening port.The number of connections refused due to internal errors in the server, such as failure to start a new thread or an out-of-memory condition.
Connection_errors_max_connections
The number of connections refused because the server
max_connections
limit was reached.Connection_errors_peer_address
The number of errors that occurred while searching for connecting client IP addresses.
The number of errors that occurred during calls to
select()
orpoll()
on the listening port. (Failure of this operation does not necessarily means a client connection was rejected.)The number of connections refused by the
libwrap
library.
The number of connection attempts (successful or not) to the MySQL server.
The number of internal on-disk temporary tables created by the server while executing statements.
You can compare the number of internal on-disk temporary tables created to the total number of internal temporary tables created by comparing
Created_tmp_disk_tables
andCreated_tmp_tables
values.NoteDue to a known limitation,
Created_tmp_disk_tables
does not count on-disk temporary tables created in memory-mapped files. By default, the TempTable storage engine overflow mechanism creates internal temporary tables in memory-mapped files. This behavior is controlled by thetemptable_use_mmap
variable.See also Section 10.4.4, “Internal Temporary Table Use in MySQL”.
How many temporary files mysqld has created.
The number of internal temporary tables created by the server while executing statements.
You can compare the number of internal on-disk temporary tables created to the total number of internal temporary tables created by comparing
Created_tmp_disk_tables
andCreated_tmp_tables
values.See also Section 10.4.4, “Internal Temporary Table Use in MySQL”.
Each invocation of the
SHOW STATUS
statement uses an internal temporary table and increments the globalCreated_tmp_tables
value.The active
ssl_ca
value in the SSL context that the server uses for new connections. This context value may differ from the currentssl_ca
system variable value if the system variable has been changed butALTER INSTANCE RELOAD TLS
has not subsequently been executed to reconfigure the SSL context from the context-related system variable values and update the corresponding status variables. (This potential difference in values applies to each corresponding pair of context-related system and status variables. See Server-Side Runtime Configuration and Monitoring for Encrypted Connections.)The
Current_tls_
status variable values are also available through the Performance Schemaxxx
tls_channel_status
table. See Section 29.12.22.9, “The tls_channel_status Table”.The active
ssl_capath
value in the TLS context that the server uses for new connections. For notes about the relationship between this status variable and its corresponding system variable, see the description ofCurrent_tls_ca
.The active
ssl_cert
value in the TLS context that the server uses for new connections. For notes about the relationship between this status variable and its corresponding system variable, see the description ofCurrent_tls_ca
.The active
ssl_cipher
value in the TLS context that the server uses for new connections. For notes about the relationship between this status variable and its corresponding system variable, see the description ofCurrent_tls_ca
.The active
tls_ciphersuites
value in the TLS context that the server uses for new connections. For notes about the relationship between this status variable and its corresponding system variable, see the description ofCurrent_tls_ca
.The active
ssl_crl
value in the TLS context that the server uses for new connections. For notes about the relationship between this status variable and its corresponding system variable, see the description ofCurrent_tls_ca
.NoteWhen you reload the TLS context, OpenSSL reloads the file containing the CRL (certificate revocation list) as part of the process. If the CRL file is large, the server allocates a large chunk of memory (ten times the file size), which is doubled while the new instance is being loaded and the old one has not yet been released. The process resident memory is not immediately reduced after a large allocation is freed, so if you issue the
ALTER INSTANCE RELOAD TLS
statement repeatedly with a large CRL file, the process resident memory usage may grow as a result of this.The active
ssl_crlpath
value in the TLS context that the server uses for new connections. For notes about the relationship between this status variable and its corresponding system variable, see the description ofCurrent_tls_ca
.The active
ssl_key
value in the TLS context that the server uses for new connections. For notes about the relationship between this status variable and its corresponding system variable, see the description ofCurrent_tls_ca
.The active
tls_version
value in the TLS context that the server uses for new connections. For notes about the relationship between this status variable and its corresponding system variable, see the description ofCurrent_tls_ca
.This status variable is deprecated (because
DELAYED
inserts are not supported); expect it to be removed in a future release.This status variable is deprecated (because
DELAYED
inserts are not supported); expect it to be removed in a future release.This status variable is deprecated (because
DELAYED
inserts are not supported); expect it to be removed in a future release.Deprecated_use_i_s_processlist_count

table has been accessed since the last restart. Shows microseconds since the Unix Epoch.The result of the most recent assignment to the
dragnet.log_error_filter_rules
system variable, empty if no such assignment has occurred.The number of bytes currently used in the Performance Schema
error_log
table. It is possible for the value to decrease, for example, if a new event cannot fit until discarding an old event, but the new event is smaller than the old one.The number of events currently present in the Performance Schema
error_log
table. As withError_log_buffered_bytes
, it is possible for the value to decrease.The number of events discarded from the Performance Schema
error_log
table to make room for new events.The time of the last write to the Performance Schema
error_log
table.The number of times the server flushes tables, whether because a user executed a
FLUSH TABLES
statement or due to internal server operation. It is also incremented by receipt of aCOM_REFRESH
packet. This is in contrast toCom_flush
, which indicates how manyFLUSH
statements have been executed, whetherFLUSH TABLES
,FLUSH LOGS
, and so forth.The memory used by all user connections to the server. Memory used by system threads or by the MySQL root account is included in the total, but such threads or users are not subject to disconnection due to memory usage. This memory is not calculated unless
global_connection_memory_tracking
is enabled (disabled by default). The Performance Schema must also be enabled.You can control (indirectly) the frequency with which this variable is updated by setting
connection_memory_chunk_size
.The number of internal
COMMIT
statements.The number of times that rows have been deleted from tables.
The server increments this variable for each call to its
external_lock()
function, which generally occurs at the beginning and end of access to a table instance. There might be differences among storage engines. This variable can be used, for example, to discover for a statement that accesses a partitioned table how many partitions were pruned before locking occurred: Check how much the counter increased for the statement, subtract 2 (2 calls for the table itself), then divide by 2 to get the number of partitions locked.The number of times the server uses a storage engine's own Multi-Range Read implementation for table access.
A counter for the prepare phase of two-phase commit operations.
The number of times the first entry in an index was read. If this value is high, it suggests that the server is doing a lot of full index scans (for example,
SELECT col1 FROM foo
, assuming thatcol1
is indexed).The number of requests to read a row based on a key. If this value is high, it is a good indication that your tables are properly indexed for your queries.
The number of requests to read the last key in an index. With
ORDER BY
, the server issues a first-key request followed by several next-key requests, whereas withORDER BY DESC
, the server issues a last-key request followed by several previous-key requests.The number of requests to read the next row in key order. This value is incremented if you are querying an index column with a range constraint or if you are doing an index scan.
The number of requests to read the previous row in key order. This read method is mainly used to optimize
ORDER BY ... DESC
.The number of requests to read a row based on a fixed position. This value is high if you are doing a lot of queries that require sorting of the result. You probably have a lot of queries that require MySQL to scan entire tables or you have joins that do not use keys properly.
The number of requests to read the next row in the data file. This value is high if you are doing a lot of table scans. Generally this suggests that your tables are not properly indexed or that your queries are not written to take advantage of the indexes you have.
The number of requests for a storage engine to perform a rollback operation.
The number of requests for a storage engine to place a savepoint.
The number of requests for a storage engine to roll back to a savepoint.
The number of requests to update a row in a table.
The number of requests to insert a row in a table.
Innodb_buffer_pool_dump_status
The progress of an operation to record the pages held in the
InnoDB
buffer pool, triggered by the setting ofinnodb_buffer_pool_dump_at_shutdown

system is defined at server build time.The number of pages in the
InnoDB
buffer pool that are busy because they have been allocated for administrative overhead, such as row locks or the adaptive hash index. This value can also be calculated asInnodb_buffer_pool_pages_total
−Innodb_buffer_pool_pages_free
−Innodb_buffer_pool_pages_data
. When using compressed tables,Innodb_buffer_pool_pages_misc
may report an out-of-bounds value (Bug #59550).Innodb_buffer_pool_pages_total

1: Starting Resize
2: Disabling AHI (Adaptive Hash Index)
3: Withdrawing Blocks
4: Acquiring Global Lock
5: Resizing Pool
6: Resizing Hash
7: Resizing Failed
You can use this status variable in conjunction with
Innodb_buffer_pool_resize_status_progress
to track the progress of each stage of a resizing operation. TheInnodb_buffer_pool_resize_status_progress
variable reports a percentage value indicating the progress of the current stage.For more information, see Monitoring Online Buffer Pool Resizing Progress.
Innodb_buffer_pool_resize_status_progress
Reports a percentage value indicating the progress of the current stage of an online buffer pool resizing operation. This variable is used in conjunction with
Innodb_buffer_pool_resize_status_code
, which reports a status code indicating the current stage of an online buffer pool resizing operation.The percentage value is updated after each buffer pool instance is processed. As the status code (reported by
Innodb_buffer_pool_resize_status_code
) changes from one status to another, the percentage value is reset to 0.For related information, see Monitoring Online Buffer Pool Resizing Progress.
Normally, writes to the
InnoDB
buffer pool happen in the background. WhenInnoDB
needs to read or create a page and no clean pages are available,InnoDB
flushes some dirty pages first and waits for that operation to finish. This counter counts instances of these waits. Ifinnodb_buffer_pool_size
has been set properly, this value should be small.Innodb_buffer_pool_write_requests

Innodb_redo_log_capacity_resized
The total redo log capacity for all redo log files, in bytes, after the last completed capacity resize operation. The value includes ordinary and spare redo log files.
If there is no pending resize down operation,
Innodb_redo_log_capacity_resized
should be equal to theinnodb_redo_log_capacity
setting if it's used, or it's ((innodb_log_files_in_group * innodb_log_file_size)) if those are used instead. See theinnodb_redo_log_capacity
documentation for further clarification. Resize up operations are instantaneous.For related information, see Section 17.6.5, “Redo Log”.

The flushed-to-disk LSN.
InnoDB
first writes data to the redo log and then requests that the operating system flush the data to disk. The flushed-to-disk LSN represents the last position in the redo log thatInnoDB
knows has been flushed to disk. For related information, see Section 17.6.5, “Redo Log”.A data size value, in bytes, representing the LSN range containing in-use redo log data, spanning from the oldest block required by redo log consumers to the latest written block.

.The number of requests to write a key block to the
MyISAM
key cache.The number of physical writes of a key block from the
MyISAM
key cache to disk.The total cost of the last compiled query as computed by the query optimizer. This is useful for comparing the cost of different query plans for the same query. The default value of 0 means that no query has been compiled yet. The default value is 0.
Last_query_cost

Returns the number of stored programs (stored procedures and stored functions) currently cached across all sessions. An MLE stored program is cached as soon it is executed for the first time, in each session in which it was executed. It is dropped from its session's cache when any of the following happens:
The stored program is explicitly dropped.
The MLE session is dropped (see the description of
Mle_sessions
)An out-of-memory error is thrown in a current MLE session.
If the same stored program is executed again after being dropped from the cache, it is cached again as usual.
Available only if the MLE component is installed. See Section 7.5.6.4, “MLE Component Stored Program Usage”, for more information.

.For the memory-mapped implementation of the log that is used by mysqld when it acts as the transaction coordinator for recovery of internal XA transactions, this variable indicates the largest number of pages used for the log since the server started. If the product of
Tc_log_max_pages_used
andTc_log_page_size
is always significantly less than the log size, the size is larger than necessary and can be reduced. (The size is set by the--log-tc-size
option. This variable is unused: It is unneeded for binary log-based recovery, and the memory-mapped recovery log method is not used unless the number of storage engines that are capable of two-phase commit and that support XA transactions is greater than one. (InnoDB
is the only applicable engine.)The page size used for the memory-mapped implementation of the XA recovery log. The default value is determined using
getpagesize()
. This variable is unused for the same reasons as described forTc_log_max_pages_used
.For the memory-mapped implementation of the recovery log, this variable increments each time the server was not able to commit a transaction and had to wait for a free page in the log. If this value is large, you might want to increase the log size (with the
--log-tc-size
option). For binary log-based recovery, this variable increments each time the binary log cannot be closed because there are two-phase commits in progress. (The close operation waits until all such transactions are finished.)Whether server telemetry metrics is supported.
