    Engines

    An engine represents a Dremio Cloud entity that manages compute resources. Each engine has one or more replicas that are created for executing queries. An engine replica is a logical group of executors defined by the engine size. This API allows you to list existing engines and add, modify, enable/disable, and delete engines.

    Engine Attributes

    id

    String (UUID)

    Unique identifier of an engine.

    Example e1cb20ff-a234-46f1-9f97-550e2bb5310f


    name

    String

    The user-defined name for an engine.

    Example firstEngine


    size

    String

    The size of the engine. Each engine replica that is created will be of this size.

    Enum XX_SMALL_V1 , X_SMALL_V1 , SMALL_V1 , MEDIUM_V1 , LARGE_V1 , X_LARGE_V1 , XX_LARGE_V1 , XXX_LARGE_V1

    Example SMALL_V1


    activeReplicas

    integer

    The number of engine replicas that are currently active.

    Example 0


    minReplicas

    integer

    The minimum number of engine replicas that will be enabled at any given time.

    Example 0


    maxReplicas

    integer

    The maximum number of engine replicas that will be enabled at any given time.

    Example 10


    autoStopDelaySeconds

    integer

    The time (in seconds) that auto stop is delayed.

    Example 300


    queueTimeLimitSeconds

    integer

    The maximum amount of time (in seconds) that a query will wait in the engine’s queue before it is canceled.

    Note:

    The typical time to start a new replica is two minutes (120 seconds), so we recommend setting this to more than 120 seconds. Changing this setting does not affect queries that are either currently running or already in the queue.

    Example 300


    runtimeLimitSeconds

    integer

    The maximum amount of time (in seconds) that a query can run before being terminated.

    Example 0


    drainTimeLimitSeconds

    integer

    The maximum amount of time (in seconds) that an engine replica will continue to run after the engine is resized, disabled, or deleted before it is terminated and the running queries terminate.

    Example 0


    state

    String

    The current state of the engine.

    Enum DELETING , DISABLED , DISABLING , ENABLED , ENABLING , INVALID

    Example ENABLED


    cloudTags

    object

    AWS tags.

    Example {"key": "dremio", "value": "test"}


    queriedAt

    String

    The date and time that the engine was last used to execute a query.

    Example Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 UTC 2021


    statusChangedAt

    String

    The date and time (in UTC time) that the state of the engine changed.

    Example Thu Aug 19 14:39:40 UTC 2021


    description

    String

    The description for the engine.

    Example engine for sales workloads


    maxConcurrency

    integer

    The maximum number of concurrent queries that an engine replica can run.

    Example 4


    cloudTags

    key

    String

    The key identifier for the tag.

    Example dremio


    value

    String

    The value of the tag.

    Example test
