MONITOR

Use the MONITOR command to periodically display statistical information. The statistics are reported periodically based upon the time that you request.

The MONITOR command parameter displays are the same as the SHOW command parameter displays, except that the MONITOR displays are updated based upon the time you request. Refer to the SHOW command section for explanations of the displays.

Note that while executing the MONITOR command, bridging performance will be affected for the duration of the command. It is recommended that you execute the MONITOR command for the default time period of five minutes or longer to minimize this impact.
