Going to the Real-time Query Page
- Log in to the GaussDB(DWS) management console.
- On the Clusters > Dedicated Clusters page, locate the cluster to be monitored.
- In the Operation column of the target cluster, click Monitoring Panel.
- In the navigation pane, choose Monitoring > Queries.
You can check the real-time information about all queries and sessions running in the cluster.
- Real-time query is supported only in clusters of version 8.1.2 and later.
- To enable real-time query monitoring, choose Settings > Monitoring, click the Monitoring Collection tab, and enable Real-Time Query Monitoring. For details, see . Enabling real-time query may cause a large amount of data. Exercise caution when performing this operation.
Prerequisites
You need to set GUC parameters before viewing data on the monitoring page. If GUC parameters are not set, real-time or historical query may be unavailable. However, if this parameter is set, the cluster performance may deteriorate. Therefore, you need to balance the settings of related parameters. The following table describes recommended settings. For details about how to modify parameters, see "Modifying Database Parameters". Setting GUC Parameters provides parameter details.

- Lock wait
- Current query duration
- Current query start time

- You can click a session ID to view the queries in the current session. For details, see Viewing Historical Query Monitoring Details.
- To terminate a session, select the session, click Terminate a Session, and confirm your operation.
- The fine-grained permission control function is added. Only users with the operate permission are able to terminate sessions. For users with the read-only permission, the Terminate a Session button is grayed out.
