MySQL 5.7 Reference Manual Including MySQL NDB Cluster 7.5 and NDB Cluster 7.6
These views summarize wait class average latencies, grouped by event class. By default, rows are sorted by descending average latency. Idle events are ignored.
          An event class is determined by stripping from the event name
          everything after the first three components. For example, the
          class for wait/io/file/sql/slow_log is
          wait/io/file.
        
          The
          wait_classes_global_by_avg_latency
          and
          x$wait_classes_global_by_avg_latency
          views have these columns:
        
              event_class
            
The event class.
              total
            
The total number of occurrences of events in the class.
              total_latency
            
The total wait time of timed occurrences of events in the class.
              min_latency
            
The minimum single wait time of timed occurrences of events in the class.
              avg_latency
            
The average wait time per timed occurrence of events in the class.
              max_latency
            
The maximum single wait time of timed occurrences of events in the class.
