Explanation of fields in stats

[Craig Wickesser]

I've been looking at NSQ today and particularly the stats, but I had a question about what some of the fields represent.

For a channel:

"depth": 0,
"backend_depth": 0,
"in_flight_count": 0,
"deferred_count": 0,
"message_count": 20915,
"requeue_count": 0,
"timeout_count": 0,

For a client of a channel:

"state": 3,
"ready_count": 200,
"in_flight_count": 0,
"message_count": 20915,
"finish_count": 20915,
"requeue_count": 0,
"connect_ts": 1418256788,

Message count seems obvious, but some of the others I'm not certain about.

Thanks in advance, I didn't find it documented.

Hi Craig,

ready_count = number of messages the client said it was ready to receive

in_flight_count = number of messages sent to the client waiting for a response

finish_count = number of messages processed by the client and FINished

requeue_count = number of messages processed by the client and REQueued

Hope this helps...

Matt,

That does help, how about a few more?

deferred_count, depth, backend_depth?

thanks

[Matt Reiferson]

Those are channel stats:

deferred_count = number of messages that have been REQueued w/ a delay (and are pending timeout)

depth = number of messages that are in the queue

backend_depth number of message that are in the queue and persisted to disk rather than in memory
