System Administration Commands nisstat(1M)
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. If you request a
statistic from a server that does not support that statis-
tic, 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 running in NIS com-
pat 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 inter-
nal 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 inter-
nal 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 pro-
cess 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 NISTATUS.
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.
