rs_dump_statsLocate this document in the navigation structure

Extracts Replication Server statistics collected in the RSSD by admin stats to a comma-delimited format.

Syntax
rs_dump_stats [‘<comment>’]
Parameters
comment

Is an optional description of the statistics being displayed. It appears on the first line of the output file.

Examples
Example 1

Extracts Replication Server statistics with comment “Stats from 01/31/2006.”

rs_dump_stats ‘Stats from 01/31/2006’
The columns of counter data are, in order:

  • The timestamp of the observation period

  • The number of observations made of the counter during the observation period

  • The total of observed values

  • The last observed value

  • The maximum observed value

Depending on the counter category (see the Replication Server Administration Guide Volume 2 > Performance Tuning > Monitor Performance Using Counters for a description of counter categories), there may be close correlation between the number of observations and total observations, and between the last and maximum observed values. For example, an observer counter simply counts the number of observations of an event—such as the number of times a message is read from a queue. For an observer counter, the number of observations and the total of observed values are the same. Similarly, the last and maximum observed values are both 1 (unless no messages were read in the observation period, in which case both values would be 0).
Note

Comments to the right of the output are included to explain the example. They are not part of the rs_dump_stats output.

Usage

  • You can capture the output of rs_dump_stats in a text file that can then be analyzed in a spread sheet or other analysis tool.

  • If the text file containing the output of rs_dump_stats is too large to load in to the analysis tool, you can split the file into multiple files.

    • Each new file must contain the first seven rows and the last row of the original file.

    • Between the first seven rows and the last row of each new file, insert all rows associated with a given module instance.

    Depending on the analysis tool, it is usually unnecessary to include all instances of one module in the same file.

  • rs_dump_stats does not remove or alter statistics saved in the RSSD.

  • rs_dump_stats lists counters with no observations, but does not display counter data rows for them. rs_dump_stats displays counter data rows for all counters with at least one observation during the sample period.
