Checking the logs

You use the query option of the visionfs(1M) command to examine the VisionFS log files, and find out about server usage.

NOTE: Remember that you can customize what's logged -- if the information doesn't seem to be correct, make sure the server was logging the information in the first place.

Arguments to the query option let you view the information in different ways:

Argument: Description
--conns: Displays information about successful and failed connections to the VisionFS server, and shows the maximum number of simultaneous connections.
--err: Displays the error log.
--shares: Displays information about usage at the share level, showing counts and percentages. You must supply one of the arguments --byuser, --byshare, or --bymachine, to show the information by user, share, or machine.
--ops: Displays information about usage at the operation level, with success/failure ratios shown for each operation. You must supply one of the arguments --byuser, --byshare, or --bymachine, to show the information by user, share, or machine.
--all: Displays all information (the default). You can omit a section of information from the output by using the appropriate argument with the --all flag. For example, visionfs query --all --err displays all information except the error log.

NOTE: Each argument is prefixed by two dashes, ``--'', not one.
