User Resource Monitoring

In the multi-tenant management framework, you can query the real-time usage of all user resources (including the memory, number of CPU cores, storage space, temporary space, operator spilling space, and I/Os) in real time through the system views PG_TOTAL_USER_RESOURCE_INFO and PGXC_TOTAL_USER_RESOURCE_INFO and the function GS_WLM_USER_RESOURCE_INFO. You can also query the system catalog GS_WLM_USER_RESOURCE_HISTORY and system view PGXC_WLM_USER_RESOURCE_HISTORY for the historical usage of user resources.

Precautions

  • The CPU, I/O, and memory usage of all jobs on fast and slow lanes (simple jobs on fast lanes and complex jobs on slow lanes) can be monitored.

  • Currently, fast lane jobs have no memory or CPU limits. They may use too many resources and go over the resource limit.

  • In the DN monitoring view, I/O, memory, and CPU display the resource usage and limits of resource pools.

  • In the CN monitoring view, I/O, memory, and CPU display the total resource usage and limit of all DN resource pools in the cluster.

  • The DN monitoring information is updated every 5 seconds. CNs collect monitoring information from DNs every 5 seconds. Because each instance updates or collects user monitoring information independently, the monitoring information update time on each instance may be different.

  • The auxiliary thread automatically invokes the persistence function every 30 seconds to make user monitoring data persistent. So, normally, you don't have to do this.

  • When there are a large number of users and a large cluster, querying such real-time views will cause network latency due to the real-time communication overhead between CNs and DNs.

  • Resources are not monitored for an initial administrator.

Procedure

  • Query all users' resource quotas and real-time resource usage.

    SELECT * FROM PG_TOTAL_USER_RESOURCE_INFO;
    

    The result view is as follows:

    username        | used_memory | total_memory | used_cpu | total_cpu | used_space | total_space | used_temp_space | total_temp_space | used_spill_space | total_spill_space | read_kbytes | write_kbytes | read_counts | write_counts | read_speed | write_speed | send_speed | recv_speed
    -----------------------+-------------+--------------+----------+-----------+------------+-------------+-----------------+------------------+------------------+-------------------+-------------+--------------+-------------+--------------+------------+-------------+------------+------------

    usern                 |           0 |        17250 |        0 |        48 |          0 |          -1 |               0 |               -1 |                0 |                -1 |           0 |            0 |           0 |            0 |          0 |           0 |          0 |          0
    (2 rows)
    

    The I/O resource monitoring fields (read_kbytes, write_kbytes, read_counts, write_counts, read_speed, and write_speed) can be available only when the GUC parameter described in enable_user_metric_persistent is enabled.

    For details about each column, see PG_TOTAL_USER_RESOURCE_INFO.

  • Query a user's resource quota and real-time resource usage.

    SELECT * FROM GS_WLM_USER_RESOURCE_INFO('username');
    

    The query result is as follows:

    userid | used_memory | total_memory | used_cpu | total_cpu | used_space | total_space | used_temp_space | total_temp_space | used_spill_space | total_spill_space | read_kbytes | write_kbytes | read_counts | write_counts | read_speed | write_speed | send_speed | recv_speed
    --------+-------------+--------------+----------+-----------+------------+-------------+-----------------+------------------+------------------+-------------------+-------------+--------------+-------------+--------------+------------+-------------+------------+------------
    16407 |           18 |        1655 |        6 |         19 |          13787176 |          -1 |               0 |               -1 |                0 |                -1 |           0 |            0 |           0 |            0 |          0 |           0 |          0 |          0
    (1 row)
    
  • Query all users' resource quotas and historical resource usage.

    SELECT * FROM GS_WLM_USER_RESOURCE_HISTORY;
    

    The query result is as follows:

    username        |           timestamp           | used_memory | total_memory | used_cpu | total_cpu | used_space | total_space | used_temp_space | total_temp_space | used_spill_space | total_spill_space | read_kbytes | write_kbytes | read_counts | write_counts | read_speed  | write_speed | send_speed | recv_speed

    For the system catalog in GS_WLM_USER_RESOURCE_HISTORY, data in the PG_TOTAL_USER_RESOURCE_INFO view is periodically saved to historical tables only when the GUC parameter enable_user_metric_persistent is enabled.

    For details about each column, see GS_WLM_USER_RESOURCE_HISTORY.
