The setup_timers
Table
The setup_timers
table shows the currently selected event timers:
mysql> SELECT * FROM setup_timers;
+-----------+-------------+
| NAME | TIMER_NAME |
+-----------+-------------+
| idle | MICROSECOND |
| wait | CYCLE |
| stage | NANOSECOND |
| statement | NANOSECOND |
+-----------+-------------+
The setup_timers
table has these columns:
NAME
The type of instrument the timer is used for.
TIMER_NAME
The timer that applies to the instrument type. This column can be modified.
The setup_timers.TIMER_NAME
value can be changed to select a different timer. The value can be any of the values in the performance_timers.TIMER_NAME
column. For an explanation of how event timing occurs, see , "Performance Schema Event Timing".
Modifications to the setup_timers
table affect monitoring immediately. Events already in progress use the original timer for the begin time and the new timer for the end time, which leads to unpredictable results. If you make timer changes, you may want to use TRUNCATE TABLE
to reset Performance Schema statistics.
