It is commonly used to periodically print a selection of +statistical values exported by the kernel. +In addition to routing cache statistics, it supports any kind of statistics the +linux kernel exports via a file in /proc/net/stat/. +.PP +Each file in /proc/net/stat/ contains a header line listing the column names. +These names are used by \fBlnstat\fP as keys for selecting which statistics to +print. For every CPU present in the system, a line follows which lists the +actual values for each column of the file. \fBlnstat\fP sums these values up +(which in fact are counters) before printing them. After each interval, only +the difference to the last value is printed. +.PP +Files and columns may be selected by using the \fB-f\fP and \fB-k\fP +parameters. By default, all columns of all files are printed. +.SH OPTIONS +lnstat supports the following options. +.TP +.B \-h, \-\-help +Show summary of options. +.TP +.B \-V, \-\-version +Show version of program. +.TP +.B \-c, \-\-count <count> +Print <count> number of intervals. +.TP +.B \-d, \-\-dump +Dump list of available files/keys. +.TP +.B \-f, \-\-file <file> +Statistics file to use, may be specified multiple times. By default all files in /proc/net/stat are scanned. +.TP +.B \-i, \-\-interval <intv> +Set interval to 'intv' seconds. +.TP +.B \-j, \-\-json +Display results in JSON format +.TP +.B \-k, \-\-keys k,k,k,... +Display only keys specified. Each key \fBk\fP is of the form \fB[file:]key\fP. If \fB<file>\fP +is given, the search for the given key is limited to that file. Otherwise the first file containing +the searched key is being used. +.TP +.B \-s, \-\-subject [0-2] +Specify display of subject/header. '0' means no header at all, '1' prints a header only at start of the program and '2' prints a header every 20 lines. +.TP +.B \-w, \-\-width n,n,n,... +Width for each field. +.SH USAGE EXAMPLES +.TP +.B # lnstat -d +Get a list of supported statistics files. +.TP +.B # lnstat -k arp_cache:entries,rt_cache:in_hit,arp_cache:destroys +Select the specified files and keys. +.TP +.B # lnstat -i 10 +Use an interval of 10 seconds. +.TP +.B # lnstat -f ip_conntrack +Use only the specified file for statistics. +.TP +.B # lnstat -s 0 +Do not print a header at all. +.TP +.B # lnstat -s 20 +Print a header at start and every 20 lines. +.TP +.B # lnstat -c -1 -i 1 -f rt_cache -k entries,in_hit,in_slow_tot +Display statistics for keys entries, in_hit and in_slow_tot of field rt_cache every second. + +.SH FILES +.TP +.B /proc/net/stat/arp_cache, /proc/net/stat/ndisc_cache +Statistics around neighbor cache and ARP. \fBarp_cache\fP is for IPv4, \fBndisc_cache\fP is the same for IPv6. +.sp +.B entries +Number of entries in the neighbor table. +.sp +.B allocs +How many neighbor entries have been allocated. +.sp +.B destroys +How many neighbor entries have been removed. +.sp +.B hash_grows +How often the neighbor (hash) table was increased. +.sp +.B lookups +How many lookups were performed. +.sp +.B hits +How many \fBlookups\fP were successful. +.sp +.B res_failed +How many neighbor lookups failed. +.sp +.B rcv_probes_mcast +How many multicast neighbor solicitations were received. (IPv6 only.) +.sp +.B rcv_probes_ucast +How many unicast neighbor solicitations were received. (IPv6 only.) +.sp +.B periodic_gc_runs +How many garbage collection runs were executed. +.sp +.B forced_gc_runs +How many forced garbage collection runs were executed. Happens when adding an +entry and the table is too full. +.sp +.B unresolved_discards +How many neighbor table entries were discarded due to lookup failure. +.sp +.B table_fulls +Number of table overflows. Happens if table is full and forced GC run (see +\fBforced_gc_runs\fP) has failed. + +.TP +.B /proc/net/stat/ip_conntrack, /proc/net/stat/nf_conntrack +Conntrack related counters. \fBip_conntrack\fP is for backwards compatibility +with older userspace only and shows the same data as \fBnf_conntrack\fP. +.sp +.B entries +Number of entries in conntrack table. +.sp +.B searched +Number of conntrack table lookups performed. +.sp +.B found +Number of \fBsearched\fP entries which were successful. +.sp +.B new +Number of conntrack entries added which were not expected before. +.sp +.B invalid +Number of packets seen which can not be tracked. +.sp +.B ignore +Number of packets seen which are already connected to a conntrack entry. +.sp +.B delete +Number of conntrack entries which were removed. +.sp +.B delete_list +Number of conntrack entries which were put to dying list. +.sp +.B insert +Number of entries inserted into the list. +.sp +.B insert_failed +Number of entries for which list insertion was attempted but failed (happens if +the same entry is already present). +.sp +.B drop +Number of packets dropped due to conntrack failure. Either new conntrack entry +allocation failed, or protocol helper dropped the packet. +.sp +.B early_drop +Number of dropped conntrack entries to make room for new ones, if maximum table +size was reached. +.sp +.B icmp_error +Number of packets which could not be tracked due to error situation. This is a +subset of \fBinvalid\fP. +.sp +.B expect_new +Number of conntrack entries added after an expectation for them was already +present. +.sp +.B expect_create +Number of expectations added. +.sp +.B expect_delete +Number of expectations deleted. +.sp +.B search_restart +Number of conntrack table lookups which had to be restarted due to hashtable +resizes. + +.TP +.B /proc/net/stat/rt_cache +Routing cache statistics. +.sp +.B entries +Number of entries in routing cache. +.sp +.B in_hit +Number of route cache hits for incoming packets. Deprecated since IP route +cache removal, therefore always zero. +.sp +.B in_slow_tot +Number of routing cache entries added for input traffic. +.sp +.B in_slow_mc +Number of multicast routing cache entries added for input traffic. +.sp +.B in_no_route +Number of input packets for which no routing table entry was found. +.sp +.B in_brd +Number of matched input broadcast packets. +.sp +.B in_martian_dst +Number of incoming martian destination packets. +.sp +.B in_martian_src +Number of incoming martian source packets. +.sp +.B out_hit +Number of route cache hits for outgoing packets.

Deprecated since IP route cache +removal, therefore always zero. +.sp +.B gc_ignored +Number of ignored garbage collection runs due to minimum GC interval not +reached and routing cache not full. Deprecated since IP route cache removal, +therefore always zero. +.sp +.B gc_goal_miss +Number of garbage collector goal misses. Deprecated since IP route cache +removal, therefore always zero. +.sp +.B gc_dst_overflow +Number of destination cache overflows.
