describe-node

Description

Get a property of a node on the host.

The following describes the properties of a SingleStore node.

Name

Description

memsqlId

GUID value uniquely identifying this node.

role

Role of the node in the cluster. Valid values are Master, Aggregator (for child aggregators), Leaf, and Unknown.

port

Port number that this node is listening on.

bindAddress

The IP address that the node is listening on. A value of 0.0.0.0 means the node is listening on all available network interfaces on the host.

allowIpv6

Whether to enable IPv6 support. If set to false, SingleStore can only use an IPv4 network. If set to true, SingleStore can use either an IPv4 or IPv6 network.

processState

Current state of memsqld for this node. Valid values are Running, Stopped, and Unknown.

version

Version of SingleStore for this node.

memsqlConfig

Absolute path of the memsql.cnf configuration file for SingleStore for this node.

Defined in the defaults_file engine variable.

Refer to memsqlctl for more information.

dataDir

Directory path for the data directory. This directory contains snapshots, logs, and columnstore segments.

plancacheDir

Directory path for the plancache directory. This directory contains compiled plans used for codegen.

Default value: ./plancache

tracelogsDir

Directory path for the tracelogs directory. This directory contains log files, including memsql.log and the query log.

Default value: ./tracelogs

auditlogsDir

Specifies the local or network directory to write log files. For more information on this variable, see Configure Audit Logging.

Default value: /<path-to-node-directory>/auditlogs

memsqld

Absolute path of memsqld for this node.

nodeID

A unique identifier used to distinguish each node. Not to be confused with memsqlId.

pid

Process ID for the memsqld_safe process corresponding to this node.

dpid

Process ID for the memsqld process corresponding to this node.

autoRestartEnabled

Indicates whether a node is configured to restart automatically if it should stop unexpectedly. If this value is set to true, the node will attempt to restart after a failure.

isConnectable

Specifies if memsqlctl can connect to the node.

recoveryState

An enum describing whether or not the node’s databases are recovering. Values are Online, Recovering, and RecoveryFailed.

availabilityGroup

Availability group that the leaf node belongs to for high availability.

aggregatorRole

The role assigned to an aggregator node within the cluster.

Usage

Usage:
memsqlctl describe-node [flags]
Flags:
-h, --help Help for describe-node
--memsql-id string the node ID of the node to describe
--property {MemsqlID, Role, AggregatorRole, ProcessState, Version, Memsqld, MemsqlConfig,
Port, BindAddress, AllowIpv6, Datadir, Tracelogsdir, Plancachedir, Auditlogsdir,
IsConnectable, Pid, DPid, AutoRestartEnabled, RecoveryState, AvailabilityGroup,
Host, NodeID, Config[.${CONFIG_NAME}], Variables[.${VARIABLE_NAME}]}
Only output the value of this property (default Unspecified)
Global Flags:
-c, --config FILE_PATH Path to the memsqctl config file
--default-install-dir DIRECTORY_PATH Path to the default install directory
--insecure-ssl Fall back to insecure SSL connections to local SingleStore nodes if memsqlctl is unable to otherwise establish a connection (ADVANCED)
-j, --json Print output in JSON format
--node-metadata-file FILE_PATH Path to the node metadata file
--parallelism POSITIVE_INTEGER Maximum amount of operations to be run in parallel
--ssl-ca FILE_PATH The path to the CA certificate file (in PEM format) to authenticate the database certificate
--timeout duration Maximum time for operation to complete (e.g., 30s, 10m, 1.5h)
--verbose-json Print output in JSON format, include some warnings and user messages
-v, --verbosity count Increase logging verbosity
-y, --yes Enable non-interactive mode and assume the user would like to move forward with the proposed actions by default

Remarks

  • This command is interactive unless you pass in a value for --memsql-id and enable non-interactive mode through the flag --yes.

  • The memsqlctl describe-node command is equivalent to the sdb-admin describe-node command.

Output

The following is the standard output for the describe-node command.
