What are the CIFS statistics to be collected for individual user sessions?
Applies to
Data ONTAP operating in 7-mode
Answer
When a storage system or a controller is running Data ONTAP 8.x for CIFS. The administrator can collect the ops, reads, writes, ios and suspicious stats. The storage system with cifs.per_client_stats.enable option on collects statistics on a per-client basis. This allows the use of the cifs top command, as well as the -u and -h options of CIFS stat for vfilers.
Note: Administrators must be aware that there will be an overhead when collecting the per-client stats.
The overhead might noticeably affect the storage system performance. If the options are turned off, any existing per-client statistics are discarded.
The cifs.per_client_stats.enable option is turned off by default.
Default: off
Effective: Upon CIFS client reconnection
Persistence: Remains in effect across system reboots
Usage:
cifs top [-n <maxclients>] [-v] [-s <sort>] [-a <avg>]
<sort> is {ops|reads|writes|ios|suspicious}.
<avg> is {smooth|now|total}.
Above two can be abbreviated and default to first choice.
Usage:
cifs stat [-v[v]] [-h <ip-or-host>] [-u <user>] [ <interval> ]
cifs stat [-z]
cifs stat [-c]
-v, -h and -u only available when the options "cifs.per_client_stats.enable" is on.
-h option only available in vfiler context.
-u option only available in vfiler context.
