Listing SMB Service Statistics

You can use the serveradmin getHistory command to display a log of periodic samples of the number of SMB connections. Samples are taken once each minute.

To list samples:

$ sudo serveradmin command smb:command = getHistory smb:variant = v1 smb:timeScale = scale Control-D

Parameter

Description

v1

The number of connected users (average during sampling period).

 

 

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 smb:timeScale = 1800.

 

 

Output

smb:nbSamples = <samples>

smb:samplesArray:_array_index:0:vn = <sample>

smb:samplesArray:_array_index:0:t = <time>

smb:samplesArray:_array_index:1:vn = <sample>

smb:samplesArray:_array_index:1:t = <time> [...] smb:samplesArray:_array_index:i:vn = <sample> smb:samplesArray:_array_index:i:t = <time> smb:v1Legend = "CONNECTIONS" smb:currentServerTime = <servertime>

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.

 

 

Updating Share Point Information

After you make a change to an SMB share point using the sharing tool, you need to update the SMB service information.

To update SMB share point information:

$ sudo serveradmin command smb:command = syncPrefs
