GS_SESSION_MEMORY_DETAIL

GS_SESSION_MEMORY_DETAIL collects statistics about thread memory usage by the memory context. When enable_thread_pool is set to on, this view contains memory usage of all threads and sessions. If the GUC parameter enable_memory_limit is set to off, this view is unavailable.

The memory context TempSmallContextGroup collects information about all memory contexts whose value in the totalsize column is less than 8192 bytes in the current thread, and the number of the collected memory contexts is recorded in the usedsize column. Therefore, the totalsize and freesize columns for TempSmallContextGroup in the view display the corresponding information about all the memory contexts whose value in the totalsize column is less than 8192 bytes in the current thread, and the usedsize column displays the number of these memory contexts.

You can run the SELECT * FROM gs_session_memctx_detail (threadid,''); statement to record information about all memory contexts of a thread into the threadid_timestamp.log file in the $GAUSSLOG/pg_log/${node_name}/dumpmem directory. threadid can be obtained from sessid in the following table.

Table 1 GS_SESSION_MEMORY_DETAIL columns

Name	Type	Description
sessid	text	Thread start time + thread ID (string: timestamp.threadid)
sesstype	text	Thread name
contextname	text	Name of the memory context
level	smallint	Hierarchy of the memory context
parent	text	Name of the parent memory context
totalsize	bigint	Total size of the memory context, in bytes
freesize	bigint	Total size of released memory in the memory context, in bytes
usedsize	bigint	Size of used memory in the memory context, in bytes. For TempSmallContextGroup, this parameter specifies the number of collected memory contexts.
