The columns in the MEMORY_USAGE table are described as follows:

• MEMORY_TOTAL: The total available memory of TiDB, in bytes.
• MEMORY_LIMIT: The memory usage limit of TiDB, in bytes. The value is the same as that of the system variable tidb_server_memory_limit.
• MEMORY_CURRENT: The current memory usage of TiDB, in bytes.
• MEMORY_MAX_USED: The maximum memory usage of TiDB from the time it is started to the current time, in bytes.
• CURRENT_OPS: "shrinking" | null. "shrinking" means that TiDB is performing operations that shrink memory usage.
• SESSION_KILL_LAST: The timestamp of the last time a session is terminated.
• SESSION_KILL_TOTAL: The number of times sessions are terminated, from the time TiDB is started to the current time.
• GC_LAST: The timestamp of the last time Golang GC is triggered by memory usage.
• GC_TOTAL: The number of times Golang GC is triggered by memory usage, from the time TiDB is started to the current time.
• DISK_USAGE: The disk usage for the current data spill operation, in bytes.
• QUERY_FORCE_DISK: The number of times data is spilled to disk, from the time TiDB is started to the current time.
