#### 23.6.14.1 The ndbinfo arbitrator\_validity\_detail Table

[]()

 The `arbitrator_validity_detail` table shows the view that each data node in the cluster has of the arbitrator. It is a subset of the [`membership`](mysql-cluster-ndbinfo-membership.html) table.

 The `arbitrator_validity_detail` table contains the following columns:

* `node_id`

   This node's node ID

* `arbitrator`

   Node ID of arbitrator

* `arb_ticket`

   Internal identifier used to track arbitration

* `arb_connected`

   Whether this node is connected to the arbitrator; either of `Yes` or `No`

* `arb_state`

   Arbitration state

##### Notes

 The node ID is the same as that reported by [**ndb\_mgm -e "SHOW"**](mysql-cluster-programs-ndb-mgm.html).

 All nodes should show the same `arbitrator` and `arb_ticket` values as well as the same `arb_state` value. Possible `arb_state` values are `ARBIT_NULL`, `ARBIT_INIT`, `ARBIT_FIND`, `ARBIT_PREP1`, `ARBIT_PREP2`, `ARBIT_START`, `ARBIT_RUN`, `ARBIT_CHOOSE`, `ARBIT_CRASH`, and `UNKNOWN`.

`arb_connected` shows whether the current node is connected to the `arbitrator`.
