PROCESSLIST

5 Contributors

PROCESSLIST, just like SHOW PROCESSLIST, is used to view the requests that are being handled.

The PROCESSLIST table has additional columns not present in SHOW PROCESSLIST:

• A DIGEST column to show the digest of the SQL statement.
• A MEM column to show the memory used by the request that is being processed, in bytes.
• A DISK column to show the disk usage in bytes.
• A TxnStart column to show the start time of the transaction.
• A RESOURCE_GROUP column to show the resource group name.

• ID: The ID of the user connection.
• USER: The name of the user who is executing PROCESS.
• HOST: The address that the user is connecting to.
• DB: The name of the currently connected default database.
• COMMAND: The command type that PROCESS is executing.
• TIME: The current execution duration of PROCESS, in seconds.
• STATE: The current connection state.
• INFO: The requested statement that is being processed.
• DIGEST: The digest of the SQL statement.

• DISK: The disk usage in bytes.
• TxnStart: The start time of the transaction.
• RESOURCE_GROUP: The resource group name.

CLUSTER_PROCESSLIST

CLUSTER_PROCESSLIST is the cluster system table corresponding to PROCESSLIST. It is used to query the PROCESSLIST information of all TiDB nodes in the cluster. The table schema of CLUSTER_PROCESSLIST has one more column than PROCESSLIST, the INSTANCE column, which stores the address of the TiDB node this row of data is from.

Permissions

If the current user does not have the PROCESS privilege, PROCESSLIST only shows the requests from the user’s own sessions.
