NAME

       deltadb_query - query historical data stored by the catalog server.

SYNOPSIS

       deltadb_query  --db [source_directory] --from [starttime] --to [endtime] [--filter [expr]]
       [--where [expr]] [--output [expr]]

DESCRIPTION

       deltadb_query is a tool that examines and displays historical data of the catalog  server.
       (If  given the -H option, the catalog server will record historical data in a format known
       as DeltaDB, hence the name of this tool.)  The results can be displayed  as  a  stream  of
       time-ordered  updates or as summaries of properties across all records over time.  This is
       useful for reporting, for example, the total resources  and  clients  served  by  a  large
       collection of servers over the course of a year.

       A  paper  entitled  DeltaDB  describes the operation of the tools in detail (see reference
       below).

ARGUMENTS

--db path
Query this database directory.

--file path
Query the data stream in this file.

--from time
(required) The starting date and time of the query in an absolute time like "YYYY-
MM-DD HH:MM:SS" or "YYYY-MM-DD" or a relative time like 5s, 5m, 5h, 5d to indicate
five seconds, minutes, hours, or days ago, respectively.

--to time
The ending time of the query, in the same format as the --from option. If
omitted, the current time is assumed.

--every interval
The intervals at which output should be produced, like 5s, 5m, 5h, 5d to indicate
five seconds, minutes, hours, or days ago, respectively.

--epoch
Causes the output to be expressed in integer Unix epoch time, instead of a
formatted time.

--filter expr
(multiple) If given, only records matching this expression will be processed. Use
--filter to apply expressions that do not change over time, such as the name or
type of a record.

--where expr
(multiple) If given, only records matching this expression will be displayed.
Use --where to apply expressions that may change over time, such as load average or
storage space consumed.

--output expr
(multiple) Display this expression on the output.

JX QUERY LANGUAGE

The --filter, --where, and --output options all make use of the JX query language, which
is described URL(here,http://cctools.readthedocs.io/jx).

In addition, the --output clauses may contain one of the following reduction functions:

• COUNT Give the count of items in the set.

• SUM Give the sum of the values in the set.

• FIRST Give the first value encountered in the set.

• LAST Give the last value encountered in the set.

• MIN Give the minimum value in the set.

• MAX Give the maximum value in the set.

• AVERAGE Give the average value of the set.

• UNIQUE Give a list of unique values in the set.

(The UNIQUE function can be applied to any record type, while the other reduction
functions assume numeric values.)

By default, reductions are computed at local scope. This means the reduction is
computed across the set of records available at each periodic time step. If the
prefix GLOBAL is added to a reduction, then the reduction is computed across every
record over time.

For example, this:

--output 'UNIQUE(name)' --every 7d

will display all of the names in the database, at seven day intervals. However, it will
not display records that are created and deleted between those seven day intervals. In
comparison, this:

--output 'GLOBALUNIQUE(name)' --every 7d

will display all of the names encountered over the last seven days, at seven day
intervals.

EXAMPLES

       To show 1 week worth of history starting on 15 April 2013:

               % deltadb_query --db /data/catalog.history --from 2013-04-15 --to 2015-04-22

       To show all history after 1 March 2013:

               % deltadb_query --db /data/catalog.history --from 2013-03-01

       To show the names of fred's chirp servers where load5 exceeds 2.0:

               % deltadb_query --db /data/catalog.history --from 2013-03-01 --filter 'owner=="fred" && type=="chirp"' --where 'load5>2.0' --output name --output load5

       To show the average load of all servers owned by fred at one hour intervals:

               % deltadb_query --db /data/catalog.history --from 2013-03-01 --filter 'owner=="fred" && type=="chirp"' --output 'AVERAGE(load5)' --every 1h

       To show the project names of all Work Queue applications running at a given time:

               % deltadb_query --db /data/catalog.history --at 2020-12-01 --filter 'type=="wq_master"' --output 'UNIQUE(project)'

       To show the number of managers, tasks, and cores in use for all Work Queue applications:

               % deltadb_query --db /data/catalog.history --from 2020-01-01 --to 2021-01-01 --filter 'type=="wq_master"' --output 'COUNT(name)' --output 'SUM(tasks_running)' -- output 'SUM(cores_inuse)'

       The  raw event output of a query can be saved to a file, and then queried using the --file
       option, which can accelerate operations on reduced data.  For example:

               % deltadb_query --db /data/catalog.history --from 2020-01-01 --to 2021-01-01 --filter 'type=="wq_master"' > wq.data
               % deltadb_query --file wq.data --output 'COUNT(name)' --output 'SUM(tasks_running)' -- output 'SUM(cores_inuse)'
