NAME¶
nfslogsum - summarize
nfswatch log file
SYNOPSIS¶
nfslogsum [
-n ] [
-v ] [
logfile ]
DESCRIPTION¶
nfslogsum summarizes log files produced by the
nfswatch program.
By default the log file
nfswatch.log is summarized; an alternate log
file can be specified on the command line.
Each
nfswatch log file may contain one or more log sessions, each
indicated by a header which is printed when logging is turned on. For each log
session,
nfslogsum tallies up the interval packet totals and prints out
a one-page summary of the log session. Total packets and percentages are
tabulated for each category and displayed.
The
-n option tells
nfslogsum to read only the first
n
entries in the log file. This is useful for summarizing log files in
cumulative ``chunks''.
If the
-v option is given,
nfslogsum will produce a ``verbose''
summary of the log file. In addition to the summary information printed as
described above, a summary of how many calls to each NFS procedure were made
on each file system and individual file will be printed. This summary
information is divided into three sections of six columns each. The columns
are headed by the names of the NFS procedures; these are described briefly
below:
- NULLPROC
- Do nothing. This procedure is provided to allow server response testing
and timing.
- GETATTR
- Get file attributes (type, mode, number of links, owner's uid, owner's
gid, size, access, modification and change times, etc.). This procedure is
used by the stat(2) system call, as well as several others.
- SETATTR
- Set file attributes (mode, owner's uid, owner's gid, size in bytes, access
and modification times). This procedure is used by system calls such as
chmod(2), chown(2), truncate(2), and so on.
- GETROOT
- Get file system root. This procedure is obsolete, and has been replaced by
a MOUNT Protocol procedure.
- LOOKUP
- Look up file name. This procedure is used to obtain an initial file handle
for use in current and future requests on that file, and is used by many
different system calls.
- READLINK
- Read from symbolic link. This procedure is used by the readlink
system call, and by the kernel.
- READ
- Read data from file. This procedure is used by the read(2) system
call.
- WCACHE
- Write to cache. Unused in the current NFS protocol revision.
- WRITE
- Write data to file. This procedure is used by the write(2) system
call.
- CREATE
- Create file. This procedure is used by the creat(2) and
open(2) system calls.
- REMOVE
- Remove file. This procedure is used by the unlink(2) system
call.
- RENAME
- Rename file. This procedure is used by the rename system call.
- LINK
- Create link to file. This procedure is used by the link(2) system
call.
- SYMLINK
- Create symbolic link to file. This procedure is used by the
symlink(2) system call.
- MKDIR
- Create directory. This procedure is used by the mkdir(2) system
call.
- RMDIR
- Remove directory. This procedure is used by the rmdir(2) system
call.
- READDIR
- Read entries from directory. Generally only one READDIR call is needed per
directory, since a variable number of entries can be returned.
- STATFS
- Get file system attributes (transfer size, block size, blocks in use,
blocks free). This procedure is used by the statfs(2) system
call.

BUGS¶
nfslogsum is exteremely sensitive to the format of the log file produced
by
nfswatch. The log file should not be edited or changed before
feeding it to
nfslogsum.
