      11.7 introduces the "-numCheckpointStats" param, defaulting to 32. So _checkpoint will have more records than in the past.

      It appears the PT "Checkpoints" browse is always sized for 8 rows. Just wondering if you've thought about changing that.

        Have a thought about it?

        Yep.

        Done anything about it?

        Nope.

        How important would you say that it is?

          Well it certainly isn't life or death. But I agree with Rich: "a history of 8 is not a history". There have been many times where I've looked at a DB in promon and seen the last 8 checkpoints bunched up over the last hour or two, but the customer is complaining that "the batch run was slow last night". That checkpoint data is long gone.

          So a new default of 32, with the ability to go higher, is certainly a welcome change. And if PT doesn't show all the history, I guess that's okay. The table is easy enough to query if I need to.

            The ChUI ProTop is mostly focused on what is going on right now. Historical data is presented on the web portal.

            Of course the portal doesn't currently have a lot of checkpoint oriented data. I'd be interested in how you might want to visualize historical checkpoint data.

              I think the key metrics are length (say, in minutes), buffers flushed, duration, and sync time.

              So that could be shown as four separate graphs. Or, given the three-across layout of the portal, you could have a "Checkpoints" row with a graph for length, one for buffers flushed, and then a dual-axis graph for duration and sync time.

              I think the existing grafana graphs are appropriate for this data, as they are for the other metrics.

                That makes sense.

                Thanks!

                  I would like to see historical Checkpoint information on the portal.
                  It would help to verify changes to biclustersize
