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 sup-
       port that statistic, it is never a fatal error. The message "unknown statistic" 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 compat 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 nisdefaults(1).

NOTES

       NIS+  might not be supported in future releases of the Solaris Operating system. Tools to aid the migration from NIS+ to LDAP are available
       in the current Solaris release. For more information, visit http://www.sun.com/directory/nisplus/transition.html.
