Performance Schema memory_global_by_event_name Table

MariaDB starting with 10.5.2

The memory_summary_global_by_event_name table was introduced in MariaDB 10.5.2.

There are five memory summary tables in the Performance Schema that share a number of fields in common. These include:

The memory_summary_global_by_event_name table contains memory usage statistics aggregated by event and event.

The table contains the following columns:

Field Type Null Default Description
EVENT_NAME varchar(128) NO NULL Event name.
COUNT_ALLOC bigint(20) unsigned NO NULL Total number of allocations to memory.
COUNT_FREE bigint(20) unsigned NO NULL Total number of attempts to free the allocated memory.
SUM_NUMBER_OF_BYTES_ALLOC bigint(20) unsigned NO NULL Total number of bytes allocated.
SUM_NUMBER_OF_BYTES_FREE bigint(20) unsigned NO NULL Total number of bytes freed
LOW_COUNT_USED bigint(20) NO NULL Lowest number of allocated blocks (lowest value of CURRENT_COUNT_USED).
CURRENT_COUNT_USED bigint(20) NO NULL Currently allocated blocks that have not been freed (COUNT_ALLOC minus COUNT_FREE).
HIGH_COUNT_USED bigint(20) NO NULL Highest number of allocated blocks (highest value of CURRENT_COUNT_USED).
LOW_NUMBER_OF_BYTES_USED bigint(20) NO NULL Lowest number of bytes used.
CURRENT_NUMBER_OF_BYTES_USED bigint(20) NO NULL Current number of bytes used (total allocated minus total freed).
HIGH_NUMBER_OF_BYTES_USED bigint(20) NO NULL Highest number of bytes used.

Example

Seeing what memory was most often allocated for:

SELECT * FROM memory_summary_global_by_event_name 
  ORDER BY count_alloc DESC LIMIT 1\G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
