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 run-
ning. 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 direc-
tory specified will be searched until the directory is found (see nisdefaults (1)).
WARNINGS
HP-UX 11i Version 2 is the last HP-UX release on which NIS+ is supported.
LDAP is the recommended replacement for NIS+. HP fully supports the industry standard naming ser-
vices based on LDAP.
