JOBS_BY_ORGANIZATION view

The INFORMATION_SCHEMA.JOBS_BY_ORGANIZATION view contains near real-time metadata about all jobs submitted in the organization that is associated with the current project.

Required role

To get the permission that you need to query the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.JOBS_BY_ORGANIZATION view, ask your administrator to grant you the BigQuery Resource Viewer (roles/bigquery.resourceViewer) IAM role on your organization. For more information about granting roles, see Manage access to projects, folders, and organizations.

This predefined role contains the bigquery.jobs.listAll permission, which is required to query the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.JOBS_BY_ORGANIZATION view.

You might also be able to get this permission with custom roles or other predefined roles.

The schema table is only available to users with defined Google Cloud organizations.

For more information about BigQuery permissions, see Access control with IAM.

Schema

The underlying data is partitioned by the creation_time column and clustered by project_id and user_email. The query_info column contains additional information about your query jobs.

The INFORMATION_SCHEMA.JOBS_BY_ORGANIZATION view has the following schema:

Column name	Data type	Value
`bi_engine_statistics`	`RECORD`	If the project is configured to use the BI Engine SQL Interface, then this field contains BiEngineStatistics. Otherwise `NULL`.
`cache_hit`	`BOOLEAN`	Whether the query results of this job were from a cache. If you have a multi-query statement job, `cache_hit` for your parent query is `NULL`.
`creation_time`	`TIMESTAMP`	(Partitioning column) Creation time of this job. Partitioning is based on the UTC time of this timestamp.
`destination_table`	`RECORD`	Destination table for results, if any.
`end_time`	`TIMESTAMP`	The end time of this job, in milliseconds since the epoch. This field represents the time when the job enters the `DONE` state.
`error_result`	`RECORD`	Details of any errors as ErrorProto objects.
`job_creation_reason.code`	`STRING`	Specifies the high level reason why a job was created. Possible values are: `REQUESTED`: job creation was requested. `LONG_RUNNING`: the query request ran beyond a system defined timeout specified by the timeoutMs field in the `QueryRequest`. As a result it was considered a long running operation for which a job was created. `LARGE_RESULTS`: the results from the query cannot fit in the in-line response. `OTHER`: the system has determined that the query needs to be executed as a job.
`job_id`	`STRING`	The ID of the job if a job was created. Otherwise, the query ID of a query using short query mode. For example, `bquxjob_1234`.
`job_stages`	`RECORD`	Query stages of the job. Note: This column's values are empty for queries that read from tables with row-level access policies. For more information, see best practices for row-level security in BigQuery.
`job_type`	`STRING`	The type of the job. Can be `QUERY`, `LOAD`, `EXTRACT`, `COPY`, or `NULL`. A `NULL` value indicates an internal job, such as a script job statement evaluation or a materialized view refresh.
`labels`	`RECORD`	Array of labels applied to the job as key-value pairs.
`parent_job_id`	`STRING`	ID of the parent job, if any.
`priority`	`STRING`	The priority of this job. Valid values include `INTERACTIVE` and `BATCH`.
`project_id`	`STRING`	(Clustering column) The ID of the project.
`project_number`	`INTEGER`	The number of the project.
`query`	`STRING`	SQL query text. Only the `JOBS_BY_PROJECT` view has the query column.
`referenced_tables`	`RECORD`	Array of tables referenced by the job. Only populated for query jobs that are not cache hits.
`reservation_id`	`STRING`	Name of the primary reservation assigned to this job, in the format `RESERVATION_ADMIN_PROJECT:RESERVATION_LOCATION.RESERVATION_NAME`. In this output: `RESERVATION_ADMIN_PROJECT`: the name of the Google Cloud project that administers the reservation `RESERVATION_LOCATION`: the location of the reservation `RESERVATION_NAME`: the name of the reservation
`edition`	`STRING`	The edition associated with the reservation assigned to this job. For more information about editions, see Introduction to BigQuery editions.
`session_info`	`RECORD`	Details about the session in which this job ran, if any.
`start_time`	`TIMESTAMP`	The start time of this job, in milliseconds since the epoch. This field represents the time when the job transitions from the `PENDING` state to either `RUNNING` or `DONE`.
`state`	`STRING`	Running state of the job. Valid states include `PENDING`, `RUNNING`, and `DONE`.
`statement_type`	`STRING`	The type of query statement. For example, `DELETE`, `INSERT`, `SCRIPT`, `SELECT`, or `UPDATE`. See QueryStatementType for list of valid values.
`timeline`	`RECORD`	Query timeline of the job. Contains snapshots of query execution.
`total_bytes_billed`	`INTEGER`	If the project is configured to use on-demand pricing, then this field contains the total bytes billed for the job. If the project is configured to use flat-rate pricing, then you are not billed for bytes and this field is informational only. Note: This column's values are empty for queries that read from tables with row-level access policies. For more information, see best practices for row-level security in BigQuery.
`total_bytes_processed`	`INTEGER`	Total bytes processed by the job. Note: This column's values are empty for queries that read from tables with row-level access policies. For more information, see best practices for row-level security in BigQuery.
`total_modified_partitions`	`INTEGER`	The total number of partitions the job modified. This field is populated for `LOAD` and `QUERY` jobs.
`total_slot_ms`	`INTEGER`	Slot milliseconds for the job over its entire duration in the `RUNNING` state, including retries.
`transaction_id`	`STRING`	ID of the transaction in which this job ran, if any. (Preview)
`user_email`	`STRING`	(Clustering column) Email address or service account of the user who ran the job.
`query_info.resource_warning`	`STRING`	The warning message that appears if the resource usage during query processing is above the internal threshold of the system. A successful query job can have the `resource_warning` field populated. With `resource_warning`, you get additional data points to optimize your queries and to set up monitoring for performance trends of an equivalent set of queries by using `query_hashes`.
`query_info.query_hashes.normalized_literals`	`STRING`	Contains the hashes of the query. `normalized_literals` is a hexadecimal `STRING` hash that ignores comments, parameter values, UDFs, and literals. The hash value will differ when underlying views change, or if the query implicitly references columns, such as `SELECT *`, and the table schema changes. This field appears for successful GoogleSQL queries that are not cache hits.
`query_info.performance_insights`	`RECORD`	Performance insights for the job.
`query_info.optimization_details`	`STRUCT`	The history-based optimizations for the job.
`transferred_bytes`	`INTEGER`	Total bytes transferred for cross-cloud queries, such as BigQuery Omni cross-cloud transfer jobs.
`materialized_view_statistics`	`RECORD`	Statistics of materialized views considered in a query job. (Preview)

Data retention

This view contains currently running jobs and the job history of the past 180 days.

Scope and syntax

Queries against this view must include a region qualifier. The following table explains the region scope for this view:

View name	Resource scope	Region scope
[PROJECT_ID.]`region-REGION`.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.JOBS_BY_ORGANIZATION	Organization that contains the specified project	`REGION`

Replace the following:

Optional: PROJECT_ID: the ID of your Google Cloud project. If not specified, the default project is used.

REGION: any dataset region name. For example, `region-us`.

Note: You must use a region qualifier to query INFORMATION_SCHEMA views. The location of the query execution must match the region of the INFORMATION_SCHEMA view.

Example

To run the query against a project other than your default project, add the project ID in the following format:

`PROJECT_ID`.`region-REGION_NAME`.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.JOBS_BY_ORGANIZATION

Replace the following:

PROJECT_ID: the ID of the project
REGION_NAME: the region for your project

For example, `myproject`.`region-us`.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.JOBS_BY_ORGANIZATION.

Top 5 jobs that scanned the most bytes today

The following example demonstrates how to find the five jobs that scanned the most bytes in an organization for the current day. You can filter further on statement_type to query for additional information such as loads, exports, and queries.

SELECT
  job_id,
  user_email,
  total_bytes_billed
FROM
  `region-REGION_NAME`.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.JOBS_BY_ORGANIZATION
WHERE
  EXTRACT(DATE FROM  creation_time) = current_date()
ORDER BY
  total_bytes_billed DESC
LIMIT 5;

The result is similar to the following:

+--------------+--------------+---------------------------+
| job_id       |  user_email  |  total_bytes_billed       |
+--------------+--------------+---------------------------+
| bquxjob_1    |  [email protected] |    999999                 |
| bquxjob_2    |  [email protected] |    888888                 |
| bquxjob_3    |  [email protected] |    777777                 |
| bquxjob_4    |  [email protected] |    666666                 |
| bquxjob_5    |  [email protected] |    555555                 |

View performance insights for queries

The following example returns all query jobs that have performance insights from your organization in the last 30 days, along with a URL that links to the query execution graph in the Google Cloud console.

SELECT
  `bigquery-public-data`.persistent_udfs.job_url(
    project_id || ':us.' || job_id) AS job_url,
  query_info.performance_insights
FROM
  `region-REGION_NAME`.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.JOBS_BY_ORGANIZATION
WHERE
  DATE(creation_time) >= CURRENT_DATE - 30 -- scan 30 days of query history
  AND job_type = 'QUERY'
  AND state = 'DONE'
  AND error_result IS NULL
  AND statement_type != 'SCRIPT'
  AND EXISTS ( -- Only include queries which had performance insights
    SELECT 1
    FROM UNNEST(
      query_info.performance_insights.stage_performance_standalone_insights
    )
    WHERE slot_contention OR insufficient_shuffle_quota
    UNION ALL
    SELECT 1
    FROM UNNEST(
      query_info.performance_insights.stage_performance_change_insights
    )
    WHERE input_data_change.records_read_diff_percentage IS NOT NULL
  );
