### CTDB version

Version of the ctdb protocol used by the node.

### Current time of statistics

Time when the statistics are generated.

This is useful when collecting statistics output periodically for post-processing.

### Statistics collected since

Time when ctdb was started or the last time statistics was reset. The output shows the duration and the timestamp.

### num\_clients

Number of processes currently connected to CTDB's unix socket. This includes recovery daemon, ctdb tool and samba processes (smbd, winbindd).

### frozen

1 if the databases are currently frozen, 0 otherwise.

### recovering

1 if recovery is active, 0 otherwise.

### num\_recoveries

Number of recoveries since the start of ctdb or since the last statistics reset.

### client\_packets\_sent

Number of packets sent to client processes via unix domain socket.

### node\_packets\_recv

### keepalive\_packets\_sent

### timeouts

This section lists timeouts occurred when sending various messages.

**call**

Number of timeouts for REQ\_CALL messages.

**control**

Number of timeouts for REQ\_CONTROL messages.

**traverse**

Number of timeouts for database traverse operations.

### locks

This section lists locking statistics.

**num\_calls**

Number of completed lock calls. This includes database locks and record locks.

**num\_current**

Number of scheduled lock calls. This includes database locks and record locks.

**num\_pending**

Number of queued lock calls. This includes database locks and record locks.

**num\_failed**

Number of failed lock calls. This includes database locks and record locks.

### total\_calls

Number of req\_call messages processed from clients. This number should be same as client --\> req\_call.

### pending\_calls

Number of req\_call messages which are currently being processed. This number indicates the number of record migrations in flight.

### childwrite\_calls

Number of record update calls. Record update calls are used to update a record under a transaction.

### pending\_childwrite\_calls

Number of record update calls currently active.

### memory\_used

The amount of memory in bytes currently used by CTDB using talloc. This includes all the memory used for CTDB's internal data structures. This does not include the memory mapped TDB databases.

### max\_hop\_count

The maximum number of hops required for a record migration request to obtain the record. High numbers indicate record contention.

### total\_ro\_delegations

Number of readonly delegations created.

### total\_ro\_revokes

Number of readonly delegations that were revoked. The difference between total\_ro\_revokes and total\_ro\_delegations gives the number of currently active readonly delegations.

### hop\_count\_buckets

Distribution of migration requests based on hop counts values. Buckets are 0, \< 2, \< 4, \< 8, \< 16, \< 32, \< 64, \< 128, \< 256, \< 512, \< 1024, \< 2048, \< 4096, \< 8192, \< 16384, ≥ 16384.

### lock\_buckets

Distribution of record lock requests based on time required to obtain locks. Buckets are \< 1ms, \< 10ms, \< 100ms, \< 1s, \< 2s, \< 4s, \< 8s, \< 16s, \< 32s, \< 64s, ≥ 64s.

### locks\_latency

The minimum, the average and the maximum time (in seconds) required to obtain record locks.

### reclock\_ctdbd

The minimum, the average and the maximum time (in seconds) required to check if recovery lock is still held by recovery daemon when recovery mode is changed. This check is done in ctdb daemon.

### reclock\_recd

The minimum, the average and the maximum time (in seconds) required to check if recovery lock is still held by recovery daemon during recovery. This check is done in recovery daemon.

### call\_latency

The minimum, the average and the maximum time (in seconds) required to process a REQ\_CALL message from client. This includes the time required to migrate a record from remote node, if the record is not available on the local node.

### childwrite\_latency

Default: 0

The minimum, the average and the maximum time (in seconds) required to update records under a transaction.

## DATABASE STATISTICS

### DB Statistics

Name of the database.

### ro\_delegations

Number of readonly delegations created in the database.

### ro\_revokes

Number of readonly delegations revoked. The difference in ro\_delegations and ro\_revokes indicates the currently active readonly delegations.

### locks

This section lists locking statistics.

**total**

Number of completed lock calls. This includes database locks and record locks.

**failed**

Number of failed lock calls. This includes database locks and record locks.

**current**

Number of scheduled lock calls. This includes database locks and record locks.

**pending**

Number of queued lock calls. This includes database locks and record locks.

### hop\_count\_buckets

Distribution of migration requests based on hop counts values. Buckets are 0, \< 2, \< 4, \< 8, \< 16, \< 32, \< 64, \< 128, \< 256, \< 512, \< 1024, \< 2048, \< 4096, \< 8192, \< 16384, ≥ 16384.

### lock\_buckets

### locks\_latency
