Listing AFP Service Statistics

You can use the serveradmin getHistory command to display a log of periodic

samples of the number of connections and the data throughput. Samples are taken

once each minute.

To list samples:
$ sudo serveradmin command
afp:command = getHistory
afp:variant = statistic
afp:timeScale = scale
Control-D
Output
afp:nbSamples = <samples>
afp:samplesArray:_array_index:0:v
n
= <sample>
afp:samplesArray:_array_index:0:t = <time>
afp:samplesArray:_array_index:1:v
n
= <sample>
afp:samplesArray:_array_index:1:t = <time>

Legend = "<legend>"
afp:currentServerTime = <servertime>
Parameter Description
statistic The value you want to display.
Valid values:
v1 - number of connected users (average during sampling period)
v2 - throughput (bytes/sec)
scale The length of time in seconds, ending with the current time, for
which you want to see samples. For example, to see 30 minutes of
data, you would specify afp:timeScale = 1800.
Value displayed by getHistory Description
<samples> The total number of samples listed.
<legend> A textual description of the selected statistic.
"CONNECTIONS" for v1
"THROUGHPUT" for v2
<sample> The numerical value of the sample.
For connections (v1), this is integer average number of users.
For throughput, (v2), this is integer bytes per second.
<time> The time at which the sample was measured. A standard UNIX time
(number of seconds since Sep 1, 1970.) Samples are taken every 60
seconds.
