In Query Analytics, the same statement executed in different databases will only be counted once

Description:

We found that in Query Analytics, the same statement executed in different databases will only be counted once.

Steps to Reproduce:

Our database architecture uses MySQL’s sharding, for example, there are 8 databases named test0001 to test0008 in one instance, and each database has the same tables. For example:

use test0001;
select sleep(10) from t;
use test0002;
select sleep(10) from t;

In this case, Query Analytics only counts one select sleep(10) from t.

Version:

PMM 2.37.1
MySQL 5.7 + performance_schema

Hi @frank.pan
You should see only one Line in QAN for this query, but the count - should be from all databases (schema)
You should be able to see schemas in QAN, and if you add filtering by then - the count of query execution should be specific for the selected schema.

Additionally, the upcoming release next week will include an enhancement for [PMM-6279] Query metadata not visible in new UI - Percona JIRA that will improve the visibility of such scenarios.

Hi,

Here is my test:

mysql> use test1;
Reading table information for completion of table and column names
You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A

Database changed
mysql> select sleep(10) as qan from t limit 1;
+-----+
| qan |
+-----+
|   0 |
+-----+
1 row in set (10.00 sec)

mysql> use test2;
Reading table information for completion of table and column names
You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A

Database changed
mysql> select sleep(10) as qan from t limit 1;
+-----+
| qan |
+-----+
|   0 |
+-----+
1 row in set (10.00 sec)

mysql>

Filter using the Sleep keyword after waiting for a period of time.

Where did I go wrong?

@frank.pan , can you click on the Query and check the details?
10 sec in the main view - is the average time for the query, mane as Query count = queries per second.

What is clear on your screen - is the first query hasn’t tracked the schema name (test1). This might be our bug or performance schema limitation.

mysql> truncate table performance_schema.events_statements_summary_by_digest;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)

mysql> use test1;
Database changed

mysql> select sleep(10) as qan2 from t limit 1;
+------+
| qan2 |
+------+
|    0 |
+------+
1 row in set (10.00 sec)

mysql> use test2;
Database changed

mysql> select sleep(10) as qan2 from t limit 1;
+------+
| qan2 |
+------+
|    0 |
+------+
1 row in set (10.03 sec)

I think the reason is that PMM does not perform aggregated analysis on the same SQL queries from different databases.
I don’t know if it’s correct.

This is the query result of events_statements_summary_by_digest.

mysql> select * from performance_schema.events_statements_summary_by_digest where digest_text like 'SELECT `sleep` (?) AS `qan2` FROM `t` LIMIT ? '\G
