nisstat - report NIS+ server statistics
/usr/lib/nis/nisstat
[ -H host ] [ directory ]
SUNWnisu
The nisstat
command queries a NIS+
server for various statistics about its operations.
These statistics may vary between implementations and from release to
release. Not all statistics are available from all servers. Requesting a
statistic from a server that does not support that statistic is never fatal,
it simply returns ‘unknown statistic’.
By default, statistics are fetched
from the server(s) of the NIS+
directory for the default domain. If directory
is specified, servers for that directory are queried.
Supported statistics
for this release are as follows:
- root server
- This reports whether the server
is a root server.
- NIS compat mode
- This reports whether the server is running
in NIS compat mode.
- DNS forwarding in NIS mode
- This reports whether the
server in NIS compat mode will forward host lookup calls to DNS.
- security
level
- This reports the security level of this server.
- serves directories
- This lists the directories served by this server.
- Operations
- This statistic
returns results in the form:
OP=opname:C=calls:E=errors:T=micros
Where opname is replaced by the RPC procedure name or operation, calls
is the number of calls to this procedure that have been made since the
server started running. errors is the number of errors that have occurred
while processing a call, and micros is the average time in microseconds
to complete the last 16 calls.
- Directory Cache
- This statistic reports the
number of calls to the internal directory object cache, the number of hits
on that cache, the number of misses, and the hit rate percentage.
- Group
Cache
- This statistic reports the number of calls to the internal NIS+
group
object cache, the number of hits on that cache, the number of misses, and
the hit rate percentage.
- Static Storage
- This statistic reports the number
of bytes the server has allocated for its static storage buffers.
- Dynamic
Storage
- This statistic reports the amount of heap the server process is
currently using.
- Uptime
- This statistic reports the time since the service
has been running.
- -H host
- Normally all servers for the directory are
queried. With this option, only the machine named host is queried. If the
named machine does not serve the directory, no statistics are returned.
- NIS_PATH
- If this variable is set, and the NIS+
directory name
is not fully qualified, each directory specified will be searched until
the directory is found (see nisdefaults(1)
).
