GSTAT(8) FreeBSD System Manager's Manual GSTAT(8)
NAME
gstat - print statistics about GEOM disks
SYNOPSIS
gstat [-abBcdops] [-f filter] [-I interval]
DESCRIPTION
The gstat utility can be used to monitor I/O transactions of geom(4)
devices.
The options are as follows:
-a Only display providers that are at least 0.1% busy.
-b Batch mode. Collect numbers, print and exit. Default if stdout
is not a tty.
-B Endless batch mode. Same as batch mode, but does not exit after
collecting the first set of data.
-c Enable display of geom(4) consumers too. The default is to show
statistics only for geom(4) producers.
-C CSV output mode. Implies endless batch mode, but output is in
the form of comma-separated values, with ISO 8601-like
timestamps.
-d Enable display of statistics for delete (BIO_DELETE) operations.
-f filter
A regular expression that can be used to only show statistics for
some devices. Only devices with the names matching filter will
be displayed. The format of the regular expression is described
in re_format(7).
-o Enable display of statistics for other operations (BIO_FLUSH).
-s Enable blocks' size statistics.
-I interval
Refresh the gstat display every interval microseconds. Adding a
suffix of s, ms, or us (the default) indicates that the update
interval is specified in seconds, milliseconds, or microseconds,
respectively.
-p Only display physical providers (those with rank of 1).
INTERACTIVE COMMANDS
These commands are currently recognized if gstat is not running in batch
mode:
< Halve the update interval.
> Double the update interval.
c Toggle display of geom(4) consumers.
EXIT STATUS
The gstat utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
