memory_info

The memory_info view shows per-host memory information from the system_history and segment_history tables. This allows administrators to compare the total memory available on a segment host, total memory used on a segment host, and dynamic memory used by query processes.

Column Type Description
ctime timestamp(0) without time zone Time this row was created in the segment_history table.
hostname varchar(64) Segment or master hostname associated with these system memory metrics.
mem_total_mb numeric Total system memory in MB for this segment host.
mem_used_mb numeric Total system memory used in MB for this segment host.
mem_actual_used_mb numeric Actual system memory used in MB for this segment host.
mem_actual_free_mb numeric Actual system memory free in MB for this segment host.
swap_total_mb numeric Total swap space in MB for this segment host.
swap_used_mb numeric Total swap space used in MB for this segment host.
dynamic_memory_used_mb numeric The amount of dynamic memory in MB allocated to query processes running on this segment.
dynamic_memory_available_mb numeric The amount of additional dynamic memory (in MB) available to the query processes running on this segment host. Note that this value is a sum of the available memory for all segments on a host. Even though this value reports available memory, it is possible that one or more segments on the host have exceeded their memory limit.
