Can I retrieve this "Queries per second avg" value within an SQL query? We use MariaDB 10.1.x
For those running MariaDB and MySQL (If using 5.7, show_compatibility_56 enabled)

SELECT Q / T Queries_per_second_avg FROM
(SELECT variable_value Q FROM information_schema.global_status
WHERE variable_name = 'Questions') A,
(SELECT variable_value T FROM information_schema.global_status
WHERE variable_name = 'Uptime') B;


For those running MySQL 5.7, show_compatibility_56 disabled

SELECT Q / T Queries_per_second_avg FROM
(SELECT variable_value Q FROM performance_schema.global_status
WHERE variable_name = 'Questions') A,
(SELECT variable_value T FROM performance_schema.global_status
WHERE variable_name = 'Uptime') B;
