Display BranchCache statistics

You can display BranchCache statistics to, among other things, identify how well caching is performing, determine whether your configuration is providing cached content to clients, and determine whether hash files were deleted to make room for more recent hash data.

About this task

The hashd statistic object contains counters that provide statistical information about BranchCache hashes. The cifs statistic object contains counters that provide statistical information about BranchCache-related activity. You can collect and display information about these objects at the advanced-privilege level.

Steps
  1. Set the privilege level to advanced: set -privilege advanced

    cluster1::> set -privilege advanced
    
    Warning: These advanced commands are potentially dangerous; use them only when directed to do so by support personnel.
    Do you want to continue? {y|n}: y
  2. Display the BranchCache-related counters by using the statistics catalog counter show command.

    For more information about statistics counters, see the man page for this command.

    cluster1::*> statistics catalog counter show -object hashd
    
    Object: hashd
        Counter                     Description
        --------------------------- ----------------------------------------------
        branchcache_hash_created    Number of times a request to generate
                                    BranchCache hash for a file succeeded.
        branchcache_hash_files_replaced
                                    Number of times a BranchCache hash file was
                                    deleted to make room for more recent hash
                                    data. This happens if the hash store size is
                                    exceeded.
        branchcache_hash_rejected   Number of times a request to generate
                                    BranchCache hash data failed.
        branchcache_hash_store_bytes
                                    Total number of bytes used to store hash data.
        branchcache_hash_store_size Total space used to store BranchCache hash
                                    data for the Vserver.
        instance_name               Instance Name
        instance_uuid               Instance UUID
        node_name                   System node name
        node_uuid                   System node id
    9 entries were displayed.
    
    cluster1::*> statistics catalog counter show -object cifs
    
    Object: cifs
        Counter                     Description
        --------------------------- ----------------------------------------------
        active_searches             Number of active searches over SMB and SMB2
        auth_reject_too_many        Authentication refused after too many
                                    requests were made in rapid succession
        avg_directory_depth         Average number of directories crossed by SMB
                                    and SMB2 path-based commands
        avg_junction_depth          Average number of junctions crossed by SMB
                                    and SMB2 path-based commands
        branchcache_hash_fetch_fail Total number of times a request to fetch hash
                                    data failed. These are failures when
                                    attempting to read existing hash data. It
                                    does not include attempts to fetch hash data
                                    that has not yet been generated.
        branchcache_hash_fetch_ok   Total number of times a request to fetch hash
                                    data succeeded.
        branchcache_hash_sent_bytes Total number of bytes sent to clients
                                    requesting hashes.

                                    read by the client because the hash for that
                                    content was not available on the server.

  3. Collect BranchCache-related statistics by using the statistics start and statistics stop commands.

    cluster1::*> statistics start -object cifs -vserver vs1 -sample-id 11
    Statistics collection is being started for Sample-id: 11
    
    cluster1::*> statistics stop -sample-id 11
    Statistics collection is being stopped for Sample-id: 11
  4. Display the collected BranchCache statistics by using the statistics show command.
