Reports NIS+ server statistics.
/usr/lib/nis/nisstat [ -H HostName ] [ DirName ]
The nisstat command queries an NIS+ server for statistics about its operations. These statistics vary from release to release and between implementations. Not all statistics are available from all servers. If you request a statistic from a server that does not support it, nisstat simply returns unknown statistic.
By default, statistics are retrieved from the server(s) of the NIS+ directory for the default domain. If a directory is specified in DirName, then that directory's server is queried.
To retrieve a specific statistic, use one of these keywords:
| root server | Reports whether or not the server is a root server. |
| NIS compat mode | Reports whether or not the server is running in NIS compat mode. |
| DNS forwarding in NIS mode | Reports whether or not the server in NIS compat mode will forward host-lookup calls to DNS. |
| security level | Reports the security level of the default server or the server specified in HostName. |
| serves directories | Lists the directories served by the default server or the server specified in HostName. |
| Operations | Returns results in the format
OP=opname:C=calls:E=errors:T=micros
|
| Directory Cache | 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 | 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 | Reports the number of bytes the server allocated for its static storage buffers. |
| Dynamic Storage | Reports the amount of heap the server process is currently using. |
| Uptime | Reports the amount of time the service has been running. |
| NIS_PATH | If the NIS+: name is not fully qualified, searches each NIS+ directory specified until the directory is found. |
