Hi, Starting with 10.2, in 'show engine innodb status', the format has changed for pending reads/writes... The old (pre-5.5) format looked like: Pending normal aio reads: 0, aio writes: 0, In 5.5 it switched to: Pending normal aio reads: 0 [0, 0, 0, 0] , aio writes: 0 [0, 0, 0, 0] , (where each value in the brackets corresponds to a read or write thread) Now in 10.2 it looks like: Pending normal aio reads: [0, 0, 0, 0] , aio writes: [0, 0, 0, 0] , I was never clear on what the values outsides the brackets in 5.5-10.1 represented... assumed it was a total of all threads. We were previously monitoring this value, should we move forward monitoring a sum of all threads? It seems a little odd to remove a useful metric from the status output. thanks Jon
