CIFS diagnostics

You can view current CIFS activities and statistics for a selected storage system in the Diagnostics CIFS window.

If you enable per-client monitoring, the application can display client-based CIFS activities. The output can be sorted by client name, operations per second, read operations, read size per second, suspicious events per second, write operations, and write size per second.

Note: Enabling CIFS client monitoring might impact system performance.

CIFS statistics

If you click the CIFS Diagnostics window Statistics button, the application displays a copy of the current counts and percentages of all CIFS operations and a number of internal statistics that might be used when diagnosing performance and other problems.

If the per-client flag is on, you can query a user or a host CIFS statistic. If more than one match is found, the application lists all the matched users or host names and the sum of their statistics. You can reset all CIFS operation counters, including per-client counters to zero.

Note: Enabling CIFS statistics queries might impact system performance.
