NAME

6       vfs_time_audit - samba vfs module to log slow VFS operations
7

SYNOPSIS

9       vfs objects = time_audit
10

DESCRIPTION

12       This VFS module is part of the samba(7) suite.
13
14       The time_audit VFS module logs system calls that take longer than the
15       number of milliseconds defined by the variable
16       time_audit:audit_timeout. It will log the calls and the time spent in
17       it.
18
19       It's kind of comparable with strace -T and is helpful to reveal
20       performance problems with the underlying file and storage subsystems.
21
22       This module is stackable.
23

OPTIONS

25       time_audit:audit_timeout = number of milliseconds
26           VFS calls that take longer than the defined number of milliseconds
27           that should be logged. The default is 10000 (10s).
28

EXAMPLES

30       This would log VFS calls that take longer than 3 seconds:
31
32                   [sample_share]
33                path = /test/sample_share
34                vfs objects = time_audit
35                time_audit: audit_timeout = 3000
36

AUTHOR

41       The original Samba software and related utilities were created by
42       Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open
43       Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed.
44
45       The time_audit VFS module was created with contributions from Abhidnya
46       Chirmule.
