Before you can obtain information about CIFS, SMB, auditing, and BranchCache hash statistics and monitor performance, you must know which objects and counters are available from which you can obtain data.

Steps

Set the privilege level to advanced:

set -privilege advanced

Perform one of the following actions:

If you want to determine… Enter…

If you want to determine…	Enter…
Which objects are available	`statistics catalog object show`
Specific objects that are available	`statistics catalog object show object object_name`
Which counters are available	`statistics catalog counter show object object_name`

Which objects are available

statistics catalog object show

Specific objects that are available

statistics catalog object show object object_name

Which counters are available

statistics catalog counter show object object_name

See the man pages for more information about which objects and counters are available.

Return to the admin privilege level:

set -privilege admin

Examples

The following command displays descriptions of selected statistic objects related to CIFS and SMB access in the cluster as seen at the advanced privilege level:

cluster1::> set -privilege advanced

Warning: These advanced commands are potentially dangerous; use them only when directed to do so by support personnel.

revision of the protocol. For information

cluster1::*> statistics catalog object show -object hashd
hashd The hashd object provides counters to measure
the performance of the BranchCache hash daemon.
cluster1::*> set -privilege admin

The following command displays information about some of the counters for the cifs object as seen at the advanced privilege level:

This example does not display all of the available counters for the cifs object; output is truncated.

cluster1::> set -privilege advanced
