The output from the command "SHOW ENGINE INNODB STATUS\G" in MySQL provides a detailed status report of the InnoDB storage engine. Here's a breakdown of the various sections of the output:
- SEMAPHORES: This section shows the current state of InnoDB mutex and rw-lock semaphores. It includes the number of semaphore spins and waits, as well as the number of times a thread was forced to wait due to contention.
- TRANSACTIONS: This section shows information about the current and recent transactions, including the number of active transactions, the oldest active transaction, and the number of transactions that have been rolled back or committed.
- FILE I/O: This section shows information about InnoDB's file I/O operations, including the number of read and write operations, the number of pending I/O requests, and the size of the InnoDB log files.
- INSERT BUFFER AND ADAPTIVE HASH INDEX: This section shows information about InnoDB's insert buffer and adaptive hash index, including the number of hash searches, the number of hash insertions, and the size of the buffer pool.
- LOG: This section shows information about the InnoDB log, including the current log sequence number (LSN), the number of log flushes and writes, and the number of pending log write requests.
- BUFFER POOL AND MEMORY: This section shows information about InnoDB's buffer pool and memory usage, including the number of pages read and written, the buffer pool hit rate, and the amount of memory used by InnoDB.
- ROW OPERATIONS: This section shows information about InnoDB's row operations, including the number of row operations (inserts, updates, and deletes), as well as the number of row locks and deadlocks.
- TRANSACTIONS: This section shows information about transactions, including the number of active transactions, the oldest active transaction, and the number of transactions that have been rolled back or committed.
- LATEST DETECTED DEADLOCK: This section shows the details of the most recent detected deadlock, if any.
The "SHOW ENGINE INNODB STATUS\G" command can be a powerful tool for diagnosing performance issues and identifying potential problems with InnoDB. However, interpreting the output requires a deep understanding of InnoDB's internal workings and how they relate to the particular workload being analyzed.
