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
internal 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
internal 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
process 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 NIS_STATUS.
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.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
NIS_PATH
If this variable is set, and the NIS+ directory name
is not fully qualified, each directory specified will
be searched until the directory is found. See nisde-
faults(1).

NOTES
NIS+ might not be supported in future releases of the
SolarisTM Operating Environment. Tools to aid the migration
from NIS+ to LDAP are available in the Solaris 9 operating
environment. For more information, visit
