Submodule box.info¶

The box.info submodule provides access to information about server instance variables.

• server.lsn Log Sequence Number for the latest entry in the WAL.
• server.ro True if the instance is in «read_only» mode (same as read_only in box.cfg).
• server.uuid The unique identifier of this instance, as stored in the database. This value is also in the box.space._cluster system space.
• server.id The number of this instance within a replica set.
• version Tarantool version. This value is also shown by tarantool –version.
• status Usually this is „running“, but it can be „loading“, „orphan“, or „hot_standby“.
• vclock Same as replication.vclock.
• pid Process ID. This value is also shown by the tarantool module. This value is also shown by the Linux «ps -A» command.
• cluster.uuid UUID of the cluster. Every replica in a replica set will have the same cluster.uuid value. This value is also in the box.space._schema system space.
• replication.lag Number of seconds that the replica is behind the master.
• replication.status Usually this is „follow“, but it can be „off“, „stopped“, „connecting“, „auth“, or „disconnected“.
• replication.idle Number of seconds that the instance has been idle.
• replication.vclock See the discussion of «vector clock» in the Internals section.
• replication.uuid The unique identifier of a master to which this instance is connected.
• replication.uptime Number of seconds since the instance started. This value can also be retrieved with tarantool.uptime().

The replication fields are blank unless the instance is a replica. The replication fields are in an array if the instance is a replica for more than one master.

box.info()¶

Since box.info contents are dynamic, it’s not possible to iterate over keys with the Lua pairs() function. For this purpose, box.info() builds and returns a Lua table with all keys and values provided in the submodule.

Return:	keys and values in the submodule.
Rtype:	table

Example:

tarantool> box.info()
---

    lsn: 0
    ro: false
