# Performance Schema cond\_instances Table

## Description

The `cond_instances` table lists all conditions while the server is executing. A condition, or instrumented condition object, is an internal code mechanism used for signalling that a specific event has occurred so that any threads waiting for this condition can continue.

The maximum number of conditions stored in the performance schema is determined by the [performance\_schema\_max\_cond\_instances](https://mariadb.com/docs/server/reference/system-tables/performance-schema-system-variables#performance_schema_max_cond_instances) system variable.
