The socket_instances Table

The socket_instances table provides a real-time snapshot of the active connections to the MariaDB server. The table contains one row per TCP/IP or Unix socket file connection. Information available in this table includes network activity such as socket instances, socket operations, and number of bytes transmitted and received.

Socket instruments have names of the form wait/io/socket/sql/socket_type and are used like this:

1. The server has a listening socket for each network protocol that it supports. The instruments associated with listening sockets for TCP/IP or Unix socket file connections have a socket_type value of server_tcpip_socket or server_unix_socket, respectively.
2. When a listening socket detects a connection, the server transfers the connection to a new socket managed by a separate thread. The instrument for the new connection thread has a socket_type value of client_connection.
3. When a connection terminates, the row in socket_instances corresponding to it is deleted.

The socket_instances table has these columns:

• EVENT_NAME

  The name of the wait/io/socket/* instrument that produced the event. This is a setup_instruments.NAME value. Instrument names have multiple parts and form a hierarchy, as discussed in , "Performance Schema Instrument Naming Conventions".

• OBJECT_INSTANCE_BEGIN

  This column uniquely identifies the socket. The value is the address of an object in memory.

• THREAD_ID

  The internal thread identifier assigned by the server. Each socket is managed by a single thread, so each socket can be mapped to a thread which can be mapped to a server process.

• SOCKET_ID

  The internal file handle assigned to the socket.

• IP

  The client IP address. The value may be either an IPv4 or IPv6 address, or blank to indicate a Unix socket file connection.

• PORT

  The TCP/IP port number, in the range from 0 to 65535.

• STATE

  The socket status, either IDLE or ACTIVE. Wait times for active sockets are tracked using the corresponding socket instrument. Wait times for idle sockets are tracked using the idle instrument.

  A socket is idle if it is waiting for a request from the client. When a socket becomes idle, the event row in socket_instances that is tracking the socket switches from a status of ACTIVE to IDLE. The EVENT_NAME value remains wait/io/socket/*, but timing for the instrument is suspended. Instead, an event is generated in the events_waits_current table with an EVENT_NAME value of idle.

  When the next request is received, the idle event terminates, the socket instance switches from IDLE to ACTIVE, and timing of the socket instrument resumes.

The IP:PORT column combination value identifies the connection. This combination value is used in the OBJECT_NAME column of the events_waits_xxx tables, to identify the connection from which socket events come:

• For the Unix domain listener socket (server_unix_socket), the port is 0, and the IP is ''.
• For client connections via the Unix domain listener (client_connection), the port is 0, and the IP is ''.
• For the TCP/IP server listener socket (server_tcpip_socket), the port is always the master port (for example, 3306), and the IP is always 0.0.0.0.
• For client connections via the TCP/IP listener (client_connection), the port is whatever the server assigns, but never 0. The IP is the IP of the originating host (127.0.0.1 or ::1 for the local host)

The socket_instances table was added in MariaDB 5.6.3.
