SHOW CLUSTER SETTING

On this page

The SHOW CLUSTER SETTING statement displays the values of cluster settings.

To configure cluster settings, use SET CLUSTER SETTING.

Note:

The SHOW statement for cluster settings is unrelated to the other SHOW statements: SHOW (session variable), SHOW CREATE, SHOW USERS, SHOW DATABASES, SHOW COLUMNS, SHOW GRANTS, and SHOW CONSTRAINTS.

Details

To display the value of a specific cluster setting, use the following syntax:
```
SHOW CLUSTER SETTING <setting>;
```
To display the values of public cluster settings (i.e., cluster settings that are documented and for which tuning is supported), use one of the following:
```
SHOW CLUSTER SETTINGS;
```
```
SHOW PUBLIC CLUSTER SETTINGS;
```
To display the values of all cluster settings use one of the following:
```
SHOW ALL CLUSTER SETTINGS;
```
```
SHOW CLUSTER SETTING ALL;
```
When you display all cluster settings, the table output includes a public column that denotes whether a setting is public or not.

Required privileges

Only members of the admin role can display cluster settings. By default, the root user belongs to the admin role.

Synopsis

Parameters

Parameter	Description
`var_name`	The name of the cluster setting (case-insensitive).
`ALL`	Display all cluster settings.
`PUBLIC`	Display only the public cluster settings. By default, only public settings are listed by `SHOW CLUSTER SETTINGS`. `SHOW PUBLIC CLUSTER SETTINGS` and `SHOW CLUSTER SETTINGS` are equivalent.

Response

When you query multiple cluster settings (e.g., with SHOW CLUSTER SETTINGS, or with SHOW ALL CLUSTER SETTINGS), the following fields are returned:

Field	Description
`variable`	The name of the cluster setting.
`value`	The value of the cluster setting.
`setting_type`	The type of the cluster setting. Possible values for `setting_type` include: `b` (`true` or `false`) `z` (size, in bytes) `d` (duration) `e` (one of a set of possible values) `f` (floating-point value) `i` (integer) `s` (string)
`description`	A brief description of the cluster setting, including possible values.
`public`	`true` if the cluster setting is public. This field is only included only if all cluster settings are displayed.
