Event Wait Summary Tables
The event waits summary tables aggregate general information about event waits:
events_waits_summary_global_by_event_name
: Wait events summarized per event nameevents_waits_summary_by_instance
: Wait events summarized per instanceevents_waits_summary_by_thread_by_event_name
: Wait events summarized per thread and event name
For example:
mysql> SELECT * FROM events_waits_summary_global_by_event_name\G
...
*************************** 6. row ***************************
EVENT_NAME: wait/synch/mutex/sql/MYSQL_BIN_LOG::LOCK_index

SUM_TIMER_WAIT: 2119302
MIN_TIMER_WAIT: 196092
AVG_TIMER_WAIT: 264912
MAX_TIMER_WAIT: 569421
...
*************************** 9. row ***************************
EVENT_NAME: wait/synch/mutex/sql/hash_filo::lock

TRUNCATE TABLE
is permitted for summary tables. It resets the counters to zero rather than removing rows.
The event wait summary tables have these grouping columns to indicate how events are aggregated:
events_waits_summary_global_by_event_name
has anEVENT_NAME
column. Each row summarizes events for a given instrument. An instrument might be used to create multiple instances of the instrumented object. For example, if there is an instrument for a mutex that is created for each connection, there are as many instances as there are connections. The summary row for the instrument summarizes over all these instances.events_waits_summary_by_instance
hasEVENT_NAME
andOBJECT_INSTANCE_BEGIN
columns. Each row summarizes events for a given instrument instance. If an instrument is used to create multiple instances, each instance has a uniqueOBJECT_INSTANCE_BEGIN
value, so these instances are summarized separately in this table.events_waits_summary_by_thread_by_event_name
hasTHREAD_ID
andEVENT_NAME
columns. Each row summarizes events for a given thread and instrument.
The event waits summary tables have these summary columns containing aggregated values:
COUNT_STAR
The number of summarized events. This value includes all events, whether timed or not.
SUM_TIMER_WAIT
The total wait time of the summarized timed events. This value is calculated only for timed events because nontimed events have a wait time of
NULL
. The same is true for the other
values.xxx
_TIMER_WAITMIN_TIMER_WAIT
The minimum wait time of the summarized timed events.
AVG_TIMER_WAIT
The average wait time of the summarized timed events.
MAX_TIMER_WAIT
The maximum wait time of the summarized timed events.
