DSNM Commands
Distributed Systems Network Management (DSNM) Subsystem Interface Development

The STATISTICS Command
The STATISTICS Command
Use the STATISTICS command to obtain operational statistics about objects. Some
subsystems return statistics on only objects that are up.
The STATISTICS command is not appropriate for all object types; refer to the User’s
Guide to DSNM Commands for details on this restriction.
objectspec
is the object specification. The syntax for the object specification is provided in
“Object Specification” on page 2-2.
hierarchy-modifier
determines which objects are affected by the command, based on the subsystem
object hierarchy: ONLY, SUBONLY, or ALL (default).
error-modifier
determines how much information is reported when the command is correct but the
objects against which the command is being applied produce errors. The error
modifier does not affect the command response for errors that result when a
command is entered incorrectly or when a name cannot be resolved. Possible error
modifiers are ERROR-BRIEF (default), ERROR-DETAIL, and
ERROR-SUPPRESS.
RESET
If you specify RESET, DSNM directs the subsystem to reset the statistical counters
for the specified objects after executing the command. Not all counters are
necessarily reset; the subsystems determine which counters are reset for different
types of objects.
Example
The following command returns the operational statistics for the Expand line
\PARIS.$LHD (local node is \LONDON):
STATISTICS \PARIS.$LHD
STATISTICS objectspec [, objectspec ]...
[, hierarchy-modifier ]
[, error-modifier ]
[, RESET ]
