nisstat(1M) System Administration Commands nisstat(1M)NAMEnisstat - report NIS+ server statistics
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/nis/nisstat [-H host] [directory]
DESCRIPTION
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. If you request a statistic from a server that does not support
that statistic, it is never a fatal error. The message "unknown statis‐
tic" is returned.
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 run‐
ning 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 pro‐
cessing a call, and micros is the aver‐
age 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.
Per-server and per-directory access restrictions may apply. See
nisopaccess(1). nisstat uses NIS_STATUS.
OPTIONS-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 direc‐
tory, no statistics are returned.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
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).
