histogram_type - Histogram type monitor element

The type of the histogram, in string format.

There are six histogram types.
CoordActQueueTime
A histogram of the time (in milliseconds) non-nested activities spend queued (for example, in a threshold queue), measured on the coordinator partition.
CoordActExecTime
A histogram of the time (in milliseconds) non-nested activities spend executing at the coordinator partition. Execution time does not include time spent initializing or queued. For cursors, execution time includes only the time spent on open, fetch and close requests. When an activity is remapped between service subclasses, the execution time histogram is updated only for the service subclass in which the activity completes execution.
CoordActLifetime
A histogram of the elapsed time (in milliseconds) from when a non-nested activity is identified by the database manager until the activity completes execution, as measured on the coordinator partition. When you remap activities between service subclasses, the lifetime histogram is updated only for the service subclass in which the activity completes execution.
CoordActInterArrivalTime
A histogram of the time interval (in milliseconds) between the arrival of non-nested coordinator activities. The inter-arrival time mean is calculated for service subclasses through which activities enter the system. When you remap activities between service subclasses, the inter-arrival time histogram of the service subclass you remap an activity to is unaffected.
CoordActEstCost
A histogram of the estimated cost (in timerons) of non-nested DML activities. The estimated cost of an activity is counted only towards the service subclass in which the activity enters the system.
ReqExecTime
A histogram of request execution times (in milliseconds), which includes requests on the coordinator partition, and any subrequests on both coordinator and non-coordinator partitions (like RPC requests or SMP subagent requests). Requests included may or may not be associated with an activity: Both PREPARE and OPEN requests are included in this histogram, for example, but while OPEN requests are always associated with a cursor activity, PREPARE requests are not part of any activity.The execution time histogram of a service subclass involved in remapping counts the portion of the execution time spent by the partial request in the service subclass.

Usage

Use this element to identify the type of histogram. Several histograms can belong to the same statistics record, but only one of each type.
