 number of files requested, any caching information available and anything else
 which would be relevant to determining the overall health of the server.

Only way I know of is smbstatus. If there was an interface to smbstatus 
where one could pipe commands and you get the results I could use that as 
a workable interface to connect dstat to a local samba server.

See:

Sadly, forking smbstatus and grepping output for a few counters is more 
work than it should be.

So I'm interested as well to learn how to get counters from samba, other 
than smbstatus that is :)

Re: [Samba] samba performance metrics

2007-08-01 Thread Scott Feldstein

I have found this, which looks like it could be interesting -
http://samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/install.html  
(search for perfmon in the page)


It seems like this dir should have perf counters, but I don't see  
them in my running instance.  Anyone know about this?


On my instance it is:

/var/cache/samba/perfmon/*.tbd

But I don't see anything.

Any idea?
