NAME

       fmstat - report fault management module statistics

SYNOPSIS

       fmstat  [-asz] [-m module] [interval [count]]

DESCRIPTION

       The  fmstat  utility  can  be  used by administrators and service personnel to report statistics associated with the Solaris Fault Manager,
       fmd(1M) and its associated set of modules. The Fault Manager runs in the background on each Solaris system. It receives telemetry  informa-
       tion  relating  to problems detected by the system software, diagnoses these problems, and initiates proactive self-healing activities such
       as disabling faulty components.

       You can use fmstat to view statistics for diagnosis engines and agents that are currently participating in fault management. The documenta-
       tion for fmd(1M), fmadm(1M), and fmdump(1M) describes more about tools to observe fault management activities.

       If  the  -m option is present, fmstat reports any statistics kept by the specified fault management module. The module list can be obtained
       using fmadm config.

       If the -m option is not present, fmstat reports the following statistics for each of its client modules:

       module          The name of the fault management module, as reported by fmadm config.

       ev_recv         The number of telemetry events received by the module.

       ev_acpt         The number of events accepted by the module as relevant to a diagnosis.

       wait            The average number of telemetry events waiting to be examined by the module.

       svc_t           The average service time for telemetry events received by the module, in milliseconds.

       %w              The percentage of time that there were telemetry events waiting to be examined by the module.

       %b              The percentage of time that the module was busy processing telemetry events.

       open            The number of active cases (open problem investigations) owned by the module.

       solve           The total number of cases solved by this module since it was loaded.

       memsz           The amount of dynamic memory currently allocated by this module.

       bufsz           The amount of persistent buffer space currently allocated by this module.

       The fmstat utility requires the user to posses the SYS_CONFIG privilege. Refer to the System Administration Guide:  Security  Services  for
       more information about how to configure Solaris privileges.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -a              Print  all  statistics for a module, including those kept on its behalf by fmd. If the -a option is not present, only those
                       statistics kept by the module are reported. If the -a option is used without the -m module,  a  set  of  global  statistics
                       associated with fmd are displayed.

       -m module       Print  a  report on the statistics associated with the specified fault management module, instead of the default statistics
                       report. Modules can publish an arbitrary set of statistics to help Sun service the fault management  software  itself.  The
                       module  statistics constitute a Private interface. See attributes(5) for information on Sun's rules for Private interfaces.
                       Scripts should not be written that depend upon the values of fault management module statistics as they can change  without
                       notice.

       -s              Print  a  report  on Soft Error Rate Discrimination (SERD) engines associated with the module instead of the default module
                       statistics report. A SERD engine is a construct used by fault management software to determine if a  statistical  threshold
                       measured as N events in some time T has been exceeded. The -s option can only be used in combination with the -m option.

       -z              Omit  statistics with a zero value from the report associated with the specified fault management module. The -z option can
                       only be used in combination with the -m option.

OPERANDS

       The following operands are supported:

       count                   Print only count reports, and then exit.

       interval                Print a new report every interval seconds.

       If no interval and no count are specified, a single report is printed and fmstat exits. If an interval is specified but no count is  speci-
       fied, fmstat prints reports every interval seconds indefinitely until the command is interrupted.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0        Successful completion.

       1        A fatal error occurred.  A fatal error could be the failure to communicate with fmd(1M). It could also be that insufficient privi-
                leges were available to perform the requested operation.

       2        Invalid command-line options were specified.

ATTRIBUTES

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:
