NAME

       kas_statistics - Displays statistics from an Authentication Server
       process

SYNOPSIS

       kas statistics
           [-admin_username <admin principal to use for authentication>]
           [-password_for_admin <admin password>] [-cell <cell name>]
           [-servers <explicit list of authentication servers>+]
           [-noauth] [-help]

       kas sta [-a <admin principal to use for authentication>]
           [-p <admin password>]  [-c <cell name>]
           [-s <explicit list of authentication servers>+] [-n] [-h]

DESCRIPTION

       The kas statistics command displays statistics from the Authentication
       Server running on one of the cell’s database server machines. Use the
       -servers argument to name a specific machine, or the command
       interpreter chooses one at random from all the database server machines
       with which it has established connections.

CAUTIONS

       The -servers argument is not available in interactive mode, making it
       impossible to specify a certain machine.

OPTIONS

       -admin_username <admin principal>
           Specifies the user identity under which to authenticate with the
           Authentication Server for execution of the command. For more
           details, see kas(8).

       -password_for_admin <admin password>
           Specifies the password of the command’s issuer. If it is omitted
           (as recommended), the kas command interpreter prompts for it and
           does not echo it visibly. For more details, see kas(8).

       -cell <cell name>
           Names the cell in which to run the command. For more details, see
           kas(8).

       -servers <authentication servers>+
           Names each machine running an Authentication Server with which to
           establish a connection. For more details, see kas(8).

       -noauth
           Assigns the unprivileged identity "anonymous" to the issuer. For
           more details, see kas(8).

       -help
           Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options
           are ignored.

OUTPUT

       The information in the output includes:

       ·   The number of allocation and freeing operations the Authentication
           Server has performed, and how many password change requests it has
           processed.

       ·   An indication of its hash table use.

       ·   The server machine’s IP address in hexadecimal and the date when
           the current instance of the Authentication Server started.

       ·   The number of requests and aborted requests for various services:
           authentication, ticket granting, password setting, entry listing,
           and so on.

       ·   The amount of CPU time that the Authentication Server has used to
           process requests since it started. The amount is not accurate on
           all system types, however.

       ·   The number of entries in the Authentication Database that are
           marked with the "ADMIN" flag.

EXAMPLES

       In the following example, an administrator using the admin account
       gathers statistics from the Authentication Server running on the
       machine "fs1.abc.com".

          % kas statistics -servers fs1.abc.com
          56 allocs, 46 frees, 0 password changes
          Hash table utilization = 0.100000%
          From host bfff21a7 started at Tue Mar 23 12:42:02 1999:
            of 88 requests for Authenticate, 18 were aborted.
            of 14 requests for GetTicket, 0 were aborted.
            of 4 requests for CreateUser, 1 were aborted.
            of 12 requests for SetFields, 4 were aborted.
            of 3 requests for DeleteUser, 0 were aborted.
            of 23 requests for GetEntry, 4 were aborted.
            of 18 requests for ListEntry, 0 were aborted.
            of 2 requests for GetStats, 1 were aborted.
            of 2 requests for GetRandomKey, 0 were aborted.
          Used 6.015 seconds of CPU time.
          3 admin accounts

PRIVILEGE REQUIRED

       The issuer must have the "ADMIN" flag set on his or her Authentication
       Database entry.
