VMS Help  —  PMDF  COUNTERS  /SHOW
    Display the contents of the cluster-wide database of counters.

    Syntax

      COUNTERS/SHOW

    Command Qualifiers             Defaults

    /ASSOCIATIONS                  /ASSOCIATIONS
    /CHANNELS                      /CHANNELS
    /HEADERS                       /HEADERS
    /OUTPUT=file-spec              None
    /TODAY                         /TODAY

1  –  Restrictions

    Normally WORLD privilege is all that is required. But if the
    cluster-wide, on-disk database must be created, then privileges
    sufficient to create a file in the PMDF_TABLE: directory are
    required; or if the node-specific, in-memory section must be
    created, then SYSGBL and PRMGBL privileges are required.

2  –  Description

    The contents of the cluster-wide association and channel counters
    database may be displayed with the PMDF COUNTERS/SHOW command.
    A PMDF COUNTER/SYNCHRONIZE command is implicitly performed by
    this command; the database contents are synchronized with the
    in-memory section(s) before being displayed.

    Note that as part of the implicit PMDFCOUNTERS/SYNCHRONIZE
    operation, if the cluster-wide, on-disk database does not already
    exist, the PMDF COUNTERS/SHOW command will create it. And if
    the node-specific, in-memory cache of counters does not already
    exist, the PMDF COUNTERS/SHOW command will create it too.

3  –  Command Qualifiers

3.1    /ASSOCIATIONS

       /ASSOCIATIONS (default)
       /NOASSOCIATIONS

    This qualifier specifies whether to show the in-memory cache of
    association counters.

3.2    /CHANNELS

       /CHANNELS (default)
       /NOCHANNELS

    This qualifier specifies whether to show the in-memory cache of
    channel counters.

3.3    /HEADERS

       /HEADERS (default)
       /NOHEADERS

    Controls whether or not a header line describing each column in
    the table of counters is output.

3.4    /OUTPUT

       /OUTPUT=file-spec

    Direct the output to the specified file. By default the output
    appears on your display.

3.5    /TODAY

       /TODAY (default)
       /NOTODAY

    This qualifier specifies whether to show PMDF's count for the
    number of messages processed this day. Note that as discussed in
    the PMDF System Manager's Guide, PMDF counters are intentionally
    designed to be lightweight and as such by design, the value shown
    becomes increasingly likely to be an undercount as message volume
    increases. So high volume sites (sites with an unlimited volume
    PMDF license) in particular should not place too much credence in
    the reported number.

4  –  Examples

      To display the counters for all channels and associations,
      issue the command

  $ PMDF COUNTERS/SHOW
  4263 messages processed so far today
  30000 messages per day are permitted by your license
