13 The nisstat command queries a NIS+ server for various statistics about
14 its operations. These statistics may vary between implementations and
15 from release to release. Not all statistics are available from all
16 servers. If you request a statistic from a server that does not support
17 that statistic, it is never a fatal error. The message "unknown statis‐
18 tic" is returned.
19
20
21 By default, statistics are fetched from the server(s) of the NIS+
22 directory for the default domain. If directory is specified, servers
23 for that directory are queried.
24
25
26 Supported statistics for this release are as follows:
27
28 root server This reports whether the server is a root
29 server.
30
31
32 NIS compat mode This reports whether the server is run‐
33 ning in NIS compat mode.
34
35
36 DNS forwarding in NIS mode This reports whether the server in NIS
37 compat mode will forward host lookup
38 calls to DNS.
39
40
41 security level This reports the security level of this
42 server.
43
44
45 serves directories This lists the directories served by this
46 server.
47
48
49 Operations This statistic returns results in the
50 form: OP=opname:C=calls:E=errors:T=micros
51 Where opname is replaced by the RPC pro‐
52 cedure name or operation, calls is the
53 number of calls to this procedure that
54 have been made since the server started
55 running. errors is the number of errors
56 that have occurred while processing a
57 call, and micros is the average time in
58 microseconds to complete the last 16
59 calls.
60
61
62 Directory Cache This statistic reports the number of
63 calls to the internal directory object
64 cache, the number of hits on that cache,
65 the number of misses, and the hit rate
66 percentage.
67
68
69 Group Cache This statistic reports the number of
70 calls to the internal NIS+ group object
71 cache, the number of hits on that cache,
72 the number of misses, and the hit rate
73 percentage.
74
75
76 Static Storage This statistic reports the number of
77 bytes the server has allocated for its
78 static storage buffers.
79
80
81 Dynamic Storage This statistic reports the amount of heap
82 the server process is currently using.
83
84
85 Uptime This statistic reports the time since the
86 service has been running.
87
88
89
90 Per-server and per-directory access restrictions may apply. See
91 nisopaccess(1). nisstat uses NIS_STATUS.
92
94 -H host Normally all servers for the directory are queried. With
95 this option, only the machine named host is queried. If the
96 named machine does not serve the directory, no statistics
97 are returned.
98
99
101 NIS_PATH If this variable is set, and the NIS+ directory name is not
102 fully qualified, each directory specified will be searched
103 until the directory is found. See nisdefaults(1).

122 NIS+ might not be supported in future releases of the Solaris Operating
123 system. Tools to aid the migration from NIS+ to LDAP are available in
124 the current Solaris release. For more information, visit
