With InfluxDB's query management features, users are able to
|
|
identify currently-running queries,
|
|
kill queries that are overloading their system,
|
|
and prevent and halt the execution of inefficient queries with several configuration settings.
|
|
|
|

## List currently-running queries with `SHOW QUERIES`
|
|
`SHOW QUERIES` lists the query ID, query text, relevant database, and duration
|
|
of all currently-running queries on your InfluxDB instance.
|
|
For InfluxDB Enterprise clusters, the `SHOW QUERIES` output also includes the TCP host.
|
|
|
|
#### Syntax:
|
|
```
|
|
SHOW QUERIES
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Example:
|
|
```
|
|
> SHOW QUERIES
|
|
qid query database duration status
|
|
--- ----- -------- -------- ------
|
|
37 SHOW QUERIES 100368u running
|
|
36 SELECT mean(myfield) FROM mymeas mydb 3s running
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
##### Explanation of the output:
|
|
|
|
- `qid`: The ID number of the query.
|
|
- `query`: The query text.
|
|
- `database`: The database targeted by the query.
|
|
- `duration`: The length of time that the query has been running.
|
|
- `status`: Current status of the query when SHOW QUERIES was executed.
|
|
|
|
See [Query Language Reference](/influxdb/v1.3/query_language/spec/#durations) for an explanation of InfluxDB's time units.
|
|
|
|
## Stop currently-running queries with `KILL QUERY`
|
|
`KILL QUERY` tells InfluxDB to stop running the relevant query.
|
|
|
|
#### Syntax:
|
|
Where `qid` is the query ID, displayed in the [`SHOW QUERIES`](/influxdb/v1.3/troubleshooting/query_management/#list-currently-running-queries-with-show-queries) output:
|
|
```
|
|
KILL QUERY <qid>
|
|
```
|
|
***InfluxDB Enterprise clusters:*** To kill queries on a cluster, you need to specify the query ID (qid) and the TCP host (for example, `myhost:8088`),
|
|
available in the `SHOW QUERIES` output.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
KILL QUERY <qid> ON "<host>"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
A successful `KILL QUERY` query returns no results.
|
|
|
|
#### Examples:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
-- kill query with qid of 36 on the local host
|
|
> KILL QUERY 36
|
|
>
|
|
```
|
|
```
|
|
-- kill query on InfluxDB Enterprise cluster
|
|
> KILL QUERY 53 ON "myhost:8088"
|
|
>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Configuration settings for query management
|
|
|
|
The following configuration settings are in the
|
|
[[coordinator]](/influxdb/v1.3/administration/config/#coordinator) section of the
|
|
configuration file.
|
|
|
|
### max-concurrent-queries
|
|
|
|
The maximum number of running queries allowed on your instance.
|
|
The default setting (`0`) allows for an unlimited number of queries.
|
|
|
|
If you exceed `max-concurrent-queries`, InfluxDB does not execute the query and
|
|
outputs the following error:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
ERR: max concurrent queries reached
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### query-timeout
|
|
|
|
The maximum time for which a query can run on your instance before InfluxDB
|
|
kills the query.
|
|
The default setting (`"0"`) allows queries to run with no time restrictions.
|
|
This setting is a [duration literal](/influxdb/v1.3/query_language/spec/#durations).
|
|
|
|
If your query exceeds the query timeout, InfluxDB kills the query and outputs
|
|
the following error:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
ERR: query timeout reached
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### log-queries-after
|
|
|
|
The maximum time a query can run after which InfluxDB logs the query with a
|
|
`Detected slow query` message.
|
|
The default setting (`"0"`) will never tell InfluxDB to log the query.
|
|
This setting is a [duration literal](/influxdb/v1.3/query_language/spec/#durations).
|
|
|
|
Example log output with `log-queries-after` set to `"1s"`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
[query] 2016/04/28 14:11:31 Detected slow query: SELECT mean(usage_idle) FROM cpu WHERE time >= 0 GROUP BY time(20s) (qid: 3, database: telegraf, threshold: 1s)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`qid` is the id number of the query.
|
|
Use this value with [`KILL QUERY`](#stop-currently-running-queries-with-kill-query).
|
|
|
|
The default location for the log output file is `/var/log/influxdb/influxdb.log`. However on systems that use systemd (most modern Linux distributions) those logs are output to `journalctl`. You should be able to view the InfluxDB logs using the following command: `journalctl -u influxdb`
|
|
|
|
|
|
### max-select-point
|
|
|
|
The maximum number of [points](/influxdb/v1.3/concepts/glossary/#point) that a
|
|
`SELECT` statement can process.
|
|
The default setting (`0`) allows the `SELECT` statement to process an unlimited
|
|
number of points.
|
|
|
|
If your query exceeds `max-select-point`, InfluxDB kills the query and outputs
|
|
the following error:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
ERR: max number of points reached
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### max-select-series
|
|
|
|
The maximum number of [series](/influxdb/v1.3/concepts/glossary/#series) that a
|
|
`SELECT` statement can process.
|
|
The default setting (`0`) allows the `SELECT` statement to process an unlimited
|
|
number of series.
|
|
|
|
If your query exceeds `max-select-series`, InfluxDB does not execute the query
|
|
and outputs the following error:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
ERR: max select series count exceeded: <query_series_count> series
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### max-select-buckets
|
|
|
|
The maximum number of `GROUP BY time()` buckets that a query can process.
|
|
The default setting (`0`) allows a query to process an unlimited number of
|
|
buckets.
|
|
|
|
If your query exceeds `max-select-buckets`, InfluxDB does not execute the query
|
|
and outputs the following error:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
ERR: max select bucket count exceeded: <query_bucket_count> buckets
|
|
```
