SQL Introspection API

This page contains the reference of the introspection tables. To learn how to access the instrospection interface, check out the instrospection documentation.

Table: state

Table: sys_service

Column name	Type	Description
name	Utf8	The name of the registered user service.
revision	UInt64	The latest deployed revision.
public	Boolean	Whether the service is accessible through the ingress endpoint or not.

target_service_name	Utf8	The name of the invoked service.
target_service_key	Utf8	The key of the virtual object or the workflow ID. Null for regular services.
target_handler_name	Utf8	The invoked handler.

invoked_by_id	Utf8	The caller Invocation ID if the service was invoked by another Restate service. Or null if invoked externally.
invoked_by_target	Utf8	The caller invocation target if the service was invoked by another Restate service. Or null if invoked externally.
pinned_deployment_id	Utf8	The ID of the service deployment that started processing this invocation, and will continue to do so (e.g. for retries). This gets set after the first journal entry has been stored for this invocation.

last_failure_related_entry_name	Utf8	The name of the journal entry that caused the failure, if any.
last_failure_related_entry_type	Utf8	The type of the journal entry that caused the failure, if any. You can check all the available entry types in entries.rs.
