Performance Schema file_instances Table

The file_instances table lists all file objects currently open by the server, including filenames and the number of open handles.

Description

The file_instances table lists instances of instruments seen by the Performance Schema when executing file I/O instrumentation, and the associated files. Only files that have been opened, and that have not been deleted, will be listed in the table.

The performance_schema_max_file_instances system variable specifies the maximum number of instrumented file objects.

Column	Description
FILE_NAME	File name.
EVENT_NAME	Instrument name associated with the file.
OPEN_COUNT	Open handles on the file. A value of greater than zero means that the file is currently open.

Example

SELECT * FROM performance_schema.file_instances WHERE OPEN_COUNT>0;
