NAME

nisstat - 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. 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 direc-

tory 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.

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 directory, no statistics are

returned.

directory If speciﬁed, servers for that directory are queried.

EXTERNAL INFLUENCES

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)).
