25.39.3 The INFORMATION_SCHEMA INNODB_BUFFER_POOL_STATS Table

The INNODB_BUFFER_POOL_STATS table provides much of the same buffer pool information provided in SHOW ENGINE INNODB STATUS output. Much of the same information may also be obtained using InnoDB buffer pool server status variables.

The idea of making pages in the buffer pool “young” or “not young” refers to transferring them between the sublists at the head and tail of the buffer pool data structure. Pages made “young” take longer to age out of the buffer pool, while pages made “not young” are moved much closer to the point of eviction.

For related usage information and examples, see Section 15.14.5, “InnoDB INFORMATION_SCHEMA Buffer Pool Tables”.

The INNODB_BUFFER_POOL_STATS table has these columns:

POOL_ID
The buffer pool ID. This is an identifier to distinguish between multiple buffer pool instances.
POOL_SIZE
The InnoDB buffer pool size in pages.
FREE_BUFFERS
The number of free pages in the InnoDB buffer pool.
DATABASE_PAGES
The number of pages in the InnoDB buffer pool containing data. This number includes both dirty and clean pages.
OLD_DATABASE_PAGES
The number of pages in the old buffer pool sublist.
MODIFIED_DATABASE_PAGES
The number of modified (dirty) database pages.
PENDING_DECOMPRESS
The number of pages pending decompression.
PENDING_READS
The number of pending reads.
PENDING_FLUSH_LRU
The number of pages pending flush in the LRU.
PENDING_FLUSH_LIST
The number of pages pending flush in the flush list.
PAGES_MADE_YOUNG
The number of pages made young.
PAGES_NOT_MADE_YOUNG
The number of pages not made young.
PAGES_MADE_YOUNG_RATE
The number of pages made young per second (pages made young since the last printout / time elapsed).
PAGES_MADE_NOT_YOUNG_RATE
The number of pages not made per second (pages not made young since the last printout / time elapsed).
NUMBER_PAGES_READ
The number of pages read.
NUMBER_PAGES_CREATED
The number of pages created.
NUMBER_PAGES_WRITTEN
The number of pages written.
PAGES_READ_RATE
The number of pages read per second (pages read since the last printout / time elapsed).
PAGES_CREATE_RATE
The number of pages created per second (pages created since the last printout / time elapsed).
PAGES_WRITTEN_RATE
The number of pages written per second (pages written since the last printout / time elapsed).
NUMBER_PAGES_GET
The number of logical read requests.
HIT_RATE
The buffer pool hit rate.
YOUNG_MAKE_PER_THOUSAND_GETS
The number of pages made young per thousand gets.
NOT_YOUNG_MAKE_PER_THOUSAND_GETS
The number of pages not made young per thousand gets.
NUMBER_PAGES_READ_AHEAD
The number of pages read ahead.
NUMBER_READ_AHEAD_EVICTED
The number of pages read into the InnoDB buffer pool by the read-ahead background thread that were subsequently evicted without having been accessed by queries.
READ_AHEAD_RATE
The read-ahead rate per second (pages read ahead since the last printout / time elapsed).
READ_AHEAD_EVICTED_RATE
The number of read-ahead pages evicted without access per second (read-ahead pages not accessed since the last printout / time elapsed).
LRU_IO_TOTAL
Total LRU I/O.
LRU_IO_CURRENT
LRU I/O for the current interval.
UNCOMPRESS_TOTAL
The total number of pages decompressed.
UNCOMPRESS_CURRENT
The number of pages decompressed in the current interval.
