Hello

Did you check NetApp's KB site?

Can you specify some of those doubts?

I think this can help you: https://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMP1196890/html/man1/na_sysstat.1.html

Statit on KB: https://kb.netapp.com/Advice_and_Troubleshooting/Data_Storage_Software/ONTAP_OS/How_to_Assess_Disk_Response_Times_in_ONTAP

Regards,

Pedro

What are the queries on sysstat? That KB Pedro mentioned documents statit fairly well. Since sysstat is an older command it isn't as publically documented, but we want to ensure any questions about it are covered in what we do have. Please let us know your questions and we'll answer them up.

Thank you for the info pedro however couldn't get details to statit page , there are many queries for instance what is xmit on network interface statistics ,

iface side bytes packets multicasts errors collisions pkt drops
e0c recv 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00
xmit 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00
e0d recv 112.59 1.25 0.00 0.00 0.00

xmit ??

likewise many such queries on multiprocessor statistics ,

not sure how to make sense of this output below , ?

suspend domain 0.00 0.00 0.00
suspend domain usec 0.00 0.00 0.00

suspend fusen 2.77 0.90 0.00
suspend fusen usec 0.36 0.06 0.00
NMI rupts 0.00 0.00 0.00
nmi usec 0.00 0.00 0.00

CP rupt usec 99.04 12.23 111.27
nonCP rupt usec 1647.73 1402.72 3050.45

A lot of those counters are for internal diagnostic troubleshooting. They are not meant to be customer consumable. Engineering is the only one that would look at that data because of internal code structures and so forth.

The interface statistics should be fairly obvious, with xmit meaning transmit.
