Reset the  dml_inserts  counter and query the  INNODB_METRICS  table again for the  dml_inserts counter data.

Values such as  COUNT ,  MAX_COUNT , and  AVG_COUNT , which cumulatively collect data from the time the counter is enabled, are unaffected by the reset. mysql>  SET GLOBAL innodb_monitor_reset = dml_inserts; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) mysql>  SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_METRICS WHERE NAME="dml_inserts"\G *************************** 1. row *************************** NAME: dml_inserts SUBSYSTEM: dml COUNT: 3 MAX_COUNT: 3 MIN_COUNT: NULL AVG_COUNT: 0.03529411764705882 COUNT_RESET: 0 MAX_COUNT_RESET: 0 MIN_COUNT_RESET: NULL AVG_COUNT_RESET: 0 TIME_ENABLED: 2014-12-04 14:18:28 TIME_DISABLED: NULL TIME_ELAPSED: 85 TIME_RESET: 2014-12-04 14:19:44 STATUS: enabled TYPE: status_counter COMMENT: Number of rows inserted mysql>  SET GLOBAL innodb_monitor_disable = dml_inserts; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) mysql>  SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_METRICS WHERE NAME="dml_inserts"\G *************************** 1. row *************************** NAME: dml_inserts SUBSYSTEM: dml COUNT: 3 MAX_COUNT: 3 MIN_COUNT: NULL AVG_COUNT: 0.030612244897959183 COUNT_RESET: 0 MAX_COUNT_RESET: 0 MIN_COUNT_RESET: NULL AVG_COUNT_RESET: 0 TIME_ENABLED: 2014-12-04 14:18:28 7.
