What Is the CPU Usage of a TaurusDB Instance with Empty Load?

A TaurusDB instance has the operating system process, mysqld process, monitoring process, and incremental backup process.

  • mysqld process: contains multiple threads, such as the primary/standby communications thread, connection thread, and refresh thread.
  • Monitoring process: monitors the instance status in real time.
  • Incremental backup process: backs up incremental data.

Even when an instance is unloaded, there are still multiple processes and threads running in the background, resulting in non-zero CPU usage. Typically, the CPU usage ranges from 10% to 15% in such cases.
