Hi @Karan190 welcome to the community!

You can use the [`info_all`](https://aerospike-python-client.readthedocs.io/en/latest/client.html#aerospike.info_all) operation with the command `namespace/<namespace-name>` and then parse for the [`storage-engine.device[ix].write_q`](https://docs.aerospike.com/reference/metrics#storage-engine.device%5Bix%5D.write_q) statistic.

the code would look like this for a namespace named test:

```auto
import aerospike

config = {'hosts': [('127.0.0.1', 3000)] }
client = aerospike.client(config).connect()

response = client.info_all('namespace/test')
client.close()

```

Thank you. Now I have one more doubt, I have configured my cluster in community addition, now I want the **write\_q** have some value other than 0, so I am inserting **records** using python client and as it is not sending bulk data, the **write\_q** is **not increasing**. How I can send the records for the **testing**?

Increasing **number of records** not working for me. I have to test it for going beyond **max-write-cache**. could you help me how I can input bulk records to test my cluster @aanderson

The [asbench](https://docs.aerospike.com/tools/asbenchmark) benchmarking tool should be able to help you with that.
