Greenplum Command Center creates the gpmetrics schema in the Greenplum Database gpperfmon to save alert rules and logs, and historical metrics collected by the Greenplum Database metrics collection system. The gpmetrics schema contains the following tables and user-defined functions:

Tables

User-Defined Functions

If you set the schema search path to include the gpmetrics schema, you do not have to qualify table and user-defined function names with the gpmetrics schema name. To set the default search path for the gpperfmon database enter this SQL command.

=# ALTER DATABASE gpperfmon SET search_path TO public,gpmetrics;

You must exit the current session and start a new session for the new search path to take effect.

Alert Tables

Command Center uses the gpcc_alert_rule and gpcc_alert_log tables to store the alert rules you set up in the user interface and to log messages when the alert rules are triggered.

gpcc_alert_rule

Note: Deprecated in Command Center 6.4/4.12.

The gpcc_alert_rule table records the alert rules configured in the Command Center user interface. It has the columns shown in the following table.

Column Type Description
rule_id integer Unique id for the rule.
rule_type integer Reserved for future use.
rule_description character varying(512) Text of the rule.
rule_config json JSON string containing parameters for user-specified values.
ctime timestamp(0) without time zone Time the rule was created.
etime timestamp(0) without time zone Time the rule became inactive, or null if rule is active.

The gpcc_alert_rule table keeps a history of alert rule configurations. When a rule becomes active, a new row is inserted and the ctime timestamp column is set to the current time; the etime timestamp is null, indicating that the rule is still active. When a rule is either disabled or superceded by a new rule, the etime timestamp column is set to the current time. Thus, the set of currently active rules is all rows where the etime column is null. A row that has timestamps in both ctime and etime columns is an historical record of the period of time during which the rule was active.

The rule_id column, a unique integer, is the distribution key for the table and is used to identify a single alert rule configuration. This column can be joined with the rule_id column in the gpcc_alert_log table to identify the rule that triggered each recorded alert event.

The rule_description column contains a string that describes the event that matches the rule. It is the text displayed in the Command Center UI for the rule, with user-specified values inserted.

The rule_config column contains a JSON string with parameters for the values entered for each of the rule’s fields in the Command Center UI.

gpcc_alert_history

The gpcc_alert_history table (wasgpcc_alert_log before Command Center 6.4) has the following columns:

Column Type Description
id integer Unique ID for the alert.
rule_id integer The ID of the rule that triggered this alert.
transaction_time timestamp(0) without time zone Time the alert was raised.
content json Contains parameters specifying values that triggered the alert.
config json Stores alert history from emails or notifications.

Where:

  • The id column, a unique integer, is the distribution key for the table.
  • The transaction_time column is set to the current time when a row is created.
  • The rule_id column can be joined with the rule_id column in the gpcc_alert_rule table to access details of the rule that triggered the alert.
  • The content column contains a JSON string with parameters specifying details about the event that triggered the alert. The JSON parameters vary with the type of the alert.
  • The config column stores the alert history received from the notification center or from emails.

The gpcc_alert_history table is an append-only, column-oriented table, partitioned by month on the transaction_time column. Command Center creates new partitions as needed and removes partitions over 12 months old.

A row is added to the gpcc_alert_history table whenever an alert rule is matched.

Greenplum Database Metrics History Tables

The gpmetrics query history saves information collected by the Greenplum Database metrics collection system and forwarded to Greenplum Command Center.

The distribution key for each table is a ctime timestamp column, which is the time when the row is added to the datbase. The tables are partitioned by year and month. Greenplum Command Center creates new partitions automatically as needed.

The history tables use append-optimized, column-oriented storage.

Command Center only saves queries with runtimes greater than the value of the min_query_time configuration parameter, found in the $MASTER_DATA_DIRECTORY/gpmetrics/gpcc.conf configuration file on the host executing Command Center. The default, 0, saves all queries in the history table. This parameter can be configured on the Command Center Admin> Settings page.

gpcc_database_history

The gpcc_database_history table saves summary query activity metrics collected by the Greenplum Database metrics collector. This data can be used to review the Greenplum Database query load over time.

Column Type Description

User-Defined Functions

The gpmetrics schema includes a number of user-defined functions that provide users with information about queries and about the hosts on which the queries run.

gpcc_delete_department

The gpcc_delete_department user-defined function deletes a department name from the gpperfmon database. It takes one parameter: the name of the department you want to delete. You may only delete department names that have no roles associated with them.

gpcc_queries_per_hour

The gpcc_queries_per_hour user-defined function returns the average and maximum number of total queries, running queries, queued queries, blocked queries, and finished queries per hour. Here is an example query:

select * from gpcc_queries_per_hour();

gpcc_queries_per_user

Thegpcc_queries_per_user user-defined function returns, for each user, the number of queries whose runtime is longer than the input interval, per hour, in the specified time range. The function takes an interval, a start time, and an end time. The default start time is 00:00:00 today. The default end time is the current time. The interval can not be omitted. It accepts PostgreSQL’s INTERVAL value.

This example returns, by user, all queries running longer than 5 minutes for the interval between 00:00:00 05/01/2018 and 23:59:59 06/01/2018:

select * from gpmetrics.gpcc_queries_per_user('5min','2018-05-01','2018-06-01');

gpcc_queries_per_user_max_and_total_spill_size

The gpcc_queries_per_user__max_and_total_spill_size user-defined function returns, for each user, the total spill_size and maximum spill_size per query per hour. The function takes a start time and an end time. The default start time is 00:00:00 today. The default end time is the current time.

This example returns, by user, the total spill_size and maximum spill_size per query per hour for the interval between 00:00:00 05/20/2018 and 23:59:59 05/21/2018.

select * from gpmetrics.gpcc_queries_per_user_max_and_total_spill_size('2018-05-20','2018-05-21');
