The SHOW CLUSTER SETTING statement displays the values of cluster settings.
To configure cluster settings, use SET CLUSTER SETTING.
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;New in v20.1: 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
publiccolumn 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.
