Name

hot_domains list — list details of all hot domains

Synopsis

hot_domains list

Since Momentum 4.3.1.66

Description

The hot domains subsystem is intended to spread highly-trafficked domains across multiple maintainer threads. The maintainer threads are responsible for managing the mail queues for all the domains and bindings in the system.

The hot_domains list command shows how the configured hot domains are spread across the maintainer threads, along with with thread ID (Linux process ID) for each of the event loops.

09:41:21 /tmp/2025> hot_domains list
Hot domain: gmail.com
	Event loop instance pointer: 0x7f5f6cc9a200
	Thread ID (TID/PID): 36880

Hot domain: hotmail.com
	Event loop instance pointer: 0x7f5f6cc9a300
	Thread ID (TID/PID): 36881

Hot domain: yahoo.com
	Event loop instance pointer: 0x7f5f6cc9a400
	Thread ID (TID/PID): 36882

Hot domain: google.com
	Event loop instance pointer: 0x7f5f6cc9a500
	Thread ID (TID/PID): 36883

Hot domain: aol.com
	Event loop instance pointer: 0x7f5f6cc9a600
	Thread ID (TID/PID): 36884

hot_domains list json is an alternative version of this command that outputs JSON.

A use-case for this command is to understand which of the maintainer event loops is using a lot of CPU. It may be that the hot domains configuration needs modifying to spread the domains out better across the maintainer event loops.

E.g.: with this configuration (from ec_console):

09:44:43 /tmp/2025> config eval maintainer_pool
Maintainer_pool = "mpool"

09:44:54 /tmp/2025> config showrecurse eventloop mpool
concurrency = 12

you can see the CPU usage for the maintainer threads using this command from the shell:

$ top -b -n 1 -H -p $(cat /var/run/ecelerity.pid.instance )  | sort -n | grep evt-mpool
