PV_SESSION_MEMORY_DETAIL¶
PV_SESSION_MEMORY_DETAIL displays statistics about thread memory usage by memory context.
The memory context TempSmallContextGroup collects information about all memory contexts whose value in the totalsize column is less than 8192 bytes in the current thread, and the number of the collected memory contexts is recorded in the usedsize column. Therefore, the totalsize and freesize columns for TempSmallContextGroup in the view display the corresponding information about all the memory contexts whose value in the totalsize column is less than 8192 bytes in the current thread, and the usedsize column displays the number of these memory contexts.
You can run the SELECT * FROM pv_session_memctx_detail (threadid,''); statement to record information about all memory contexts of a thread into the threadid_timestamp.log file in the /tmp/dumpmem directory. threadid can be obtained from the following table.
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
sessid | text | Thread start time+thread ID (string: timestamp.threadid) |
sesstype | text | Thread name |
contextname | text | Name of the memory context |
level | smallint | Hierarchy of the memory context |
parent | text | Name of the parent memory context |
totalsize | bigint | Total size of the memory context, in bytes |
freesize | bigint | Total size of released memory in the memory context, in bytes |
usedsize | bigint | Size of used memory in the memory context, in bytes. For TempSmallContextGroup, this parameter specifies the number of collected memory contexts. |
Example¶
Query the usage of all MemoryContexts on the current node.
Locate the thread in which the MemoryContext is created and used based on sessid. Check whether the memory usage meets the expectation based on totalsize, freesize, and usedsize to see whether memory leakage may occur.
SELECT * FROM PV_SESSION_MEMORY_DETAIL order by totalsize desc;
