  • Getting started
  • Getting query statistics

Get the query statistics for Object Storage objects using the S3 Select query language.

Note

To get information on object queries, enable logging.

Getting startedGetting started

  1. Install and configure the AWS CLI.
  2. Download and install the jq utility.

Getting query statisticsGetting query statistics

Bash
  1. Run the query against Object Storage and save the output to a file:

    1. For convenience, save:

      • Name of the bucket storing the object with the logs, to a variable named $bucket:

        bucket=<bucket_name>
        
      • Key of the object containing the logs, to a variable named $key:

        key=<object_key>
        
      • S3 Select expression to request object data, to a variable named $query:

        query='<query_text>'
        

        Sample expressions:

        • Retrieving queries by response code:

          SELECT "timestamp", request_id, handler, object_key, status, request_time
          FROM S3Object
          WHERE status >= 400
          
        • Searching for long-running queries:

          SELECT "timestamp", request_id, handler, object_key, status, request_time
          FROM S3Object
          WHERE request_time >= 1000
          
        • Average time for processing queries (using the AVG aggregate function):

          SELECT AVG(request_time) AS "avg" FROM S3Object
          
    2. Run this command:

      aws --endpoint https://storage.yandexcloud.net s3api select-object-content \
        --bucket $bucket \
        --key $key \
        --expression "$query" \
        --expression-type 'SQL' \
        --input-serialization 'JSON={Type=LINES}' \
        --output-serialization 'JSON={}' \
        "output.json"
      
  2. If a query uses no aggregate functions, output the number of queries for each object key. To do this, run an aggregation query using jq:

    jq .object_key output.json | uniq -c | sort -nr
    

    Result:

    9 "path/logs/2021-02-10-22-02-25-199f57b5-5601-3210-5d9a-1apl1e5z6b4f"
    7 "path/logs/2021-01-28-11-40-11-580g57b5-9903-1108-6a7a-1ghj1e0e8b0f"

    1 "path/logs/2020-12-09-08-11-10-123f57b5-1773-9310-1d2a-5bcc1e9e9b4f"
    1 "path/logs/2020-12-01-14-42-11-493f57b5-1093-4120-8d7a-5bcc1e9e9b4f"
