.TH nfsdist 8 "2017-09-08" "USER COMMANDS"
|
||
|
|
.SH NAME
|
||
|
|
nfsdist \- Summarize NFS operation latency. Uses Linux eBPF/bcc.
|
||
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
.B nfsdist [\-h] [\-T] [\-m] [\-p PID] [interval] [count]
|
||
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
This tool summarizes time (latency) spent in common NFS file operations: reads,
|
||
|
|
writes, opens, and getattrs, and presents it as a power-of-2 histogram. It uses an
|
||
|
|
in-kernel eBPF map to store the histogram for efficiency.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Since this works by tracing the nfs_file_operations interface functions, it
|
||
|
|
will need updating to match any changes to these functions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Since this uses BPF, only the root user can use this tool.
|
||
|
|
.SH REQUIREMENTS
|
||
|
|
CONFIG_BPF and bcc.
|
||
|
|
.SH OPTIONS

|
||
|
|
.TP
|

#
|
||
|
|
.B nfsdist -p 181
|
||
|
|
.TP

|
.SH FIELDS
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
msecs
|
||
|
|
Range of milliseconds for this bucket.
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
usecs
|
||
|
|
Range of microseconds for this bucket.
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
count
|
||
|
|
Number of operations in this time range.
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
distribution
|
||
|
|
ASCII representation of the distribution (the count column).
|
||
|
|
.SH OVERHEAD
|
||
|
|
This adds low-overhead instrumentation to these NFS operations,
|
||
|
|
including reads and writes from the file system cache. Such reads and writes
|
||
|
|
can be very frequent (depending on the workload; eg, 1M/sec), at which
|
||
|
|
point the overhead of this tool may become noticeable.
|
||
|
|
Measure and quantify before use.
|
||
|
|
.SH SOURCE
|
||
|
