Usage
Get a property of a MemSQL Node on the local machine
Usage:
memsqlctl describe-node [flags]
Flags:
-h, --help Help for describe-node
--memsql-id string MemSQL ID to describe
--property {MemsqlID, Role, ProcessState, Version, Memsqld, MemsqlConfig, Port, BindAddress, 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
-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 Path to the CA certificate file in PEM format to authenticate the MemSQL server certificate
--timeout duration Maximum time for operation to complete (e.g., 30s, 10m, 1.5h)
-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 following describes the properties of a MemSQL 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. |
| processState | Current state of memsqld for this node. Valid values are Running, Stopped, and Unknown. |
| version | Version of MemSQL for this node. |
| memsqlConfig | Absolute path of the memsql.cnf configuration file for MemSQL for this node. |
| dataDir | Absolute path of the data directory for MemSQL for this node. |
| plancacheDir | Absolute path of the plancache directory for MemSQL for this node. |
| tracelogsDir | Absolute path of the tracelogs directory for MemSQL for this node. |
| auditlogsDir | Absolute path of the auditlogs directory for MemSQL for this node. |
| memsqld | Absolute path of memsqld for this node. |
| pid | Process ID for the memsqld_safe process corresponding to this node. |
| dpid | Process ID for the memsqld process corresponding to this node. |
| 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 node belongs to. |
The memsqlctl describe-node command is equivalent to the memsql-admin describe-node command.
