List root parameter sets

To list the different types of statistics that can be monitored in Rhino, run rhino-stats with the -l parameter. For example:

$ ./rhino-stats -l
The following root parameter sets are available for monitoring:
Activities, ActivityHandler, EventRouter, Events, JVM, LicenseAccounting, LockManagers, MemDB-Local, MemDB-Replicated,
ObjectPools, SLEE-Usage, Savanna-Protocol, Services, StagingThreads, SystemInfo, Transactions

For parameter set type descriptions and a list of available parameter sets use the -l <root parameter set name> option

Display parameter set descriptions

Tip The output below illustrates the root parameter set (Events) with many different child parameter sets. You can use this information to select the level of granularity at which you want statistics reported. (See the instructions for monitoring parameters in real time.)

To query the available child parameter sets within a particular root parameter set, use -l <root parameter set name>. For example, for the root parameter set Events:

$ ./rhino-stats -l Events
Parameter Set: Events
Parameter Set Type: Events
Description: Event Statistics

Parameter set types — required for monitoring

Note A parameter set can only be monitored by a statistics client such as rhino-stats if it has a parameter set type.

A parameter set’s type is listed in its description. Most parameter sets have a type, such as the Events parameter set, which has the type "Events". However, the SLEE-Usage root parameter set, for example, does not have a type, as shown below:

$ ./rhino-stats -l SLEE-Usage
Parameter Set: SLEE-Usage
 (no parameter set type defined for this parameter set)

Found 16 parameter sets under 'SLEE-Usage':
    ->  "SLEE-Usage"
    ->  "SLEE-Usage.ProfileTables"
    ->  "SLEE-Usage.RAEntities"
    ->  "SLEE-Usage.Services"
    ->  "SLEE-Usage.Services.ServiceID[name=Call Barring Service,vendor=OpenCloud,version=0.2]"
    ->  "SLEE-Usage.Services.ServiceID[name=Call Barring Service,vendor=OpenCloud,version=0.2].SbbID[name=Call Barring SBB,vendor=OpenCloud,version=0.2]"
    ->  "SLEE-Usage.Services.ServiceID[name=Call Barring Service,vendor=OpenCloud,version=0.2].SbbID[name=Call Barring SBB,vendor=OpenCloud,version=0.2].(default)"
    ->  "SLEE-Usage.Services.ServiceID[name=Call Duration Logging Service,vendor=OpenCloud,version=0.2]"
    ->  "SLEE-Usage.Services.ServiceID[name=Call Duration Logging Service,vendor=OpenCloud,version=0.2].SbbID[name=Call Duration Logging SBB,vendor=OpenCloud,version=0.2]"
    ->  "SLEE-Usage.Services.ServiceID[name=Call Duration Logging Service,vendor=OpenCloud,version=0.2].SbbID[name=Call Duration Logging SBB,vendor=OpenCloud,version=0.2].(default)"

Neither the SLEE-Usage parameter set, nor its immediate child parameter sets (SLEE-Usage.ProfileTables, SLEE-Usage.RAEntities, and SLEE-Usage.Services), have a parameter set type — as usage parameters are defined by SLEE components. The parameter set representing usage for an SBB within a particular service does however have a parameter set type and can be monitored:

$ ./rhino-stats -l "SLEE-Usage.Services.ServiceID[name=Call Barring Service,vendor=OpenCloud,version=0.2].SbbID[name=Call Barring SBB,vendor=OpenCloud,version=0.2]"
Parameter Set: SLEE-Usage.Services.ServiceID[name=Call Barring Service,vendor=OpenCloud,version=0.2].SbbID[name=Call Barring SBB,vendor=OpenCloud,version=0.2]
Parameter Set Type: Usage.Services.SbbID[name=Call Barring SBB,vendor=OpenCloud,version=0.2]
Description: Usage stats for SbbID[name=Call Barring SBB,vendor=OpenCloud,version=0.2]

Counter type statistics:
  Id: Name:               Label:  Description:

  4   callsBarred         n/a     callsBarred
  5   callsAllowed        n/a     callsAllowed

Sample type statistics: (none defined)

Found 2 parameter sets under 'SLEE-Usage.Services.ServiceID[name=Call Barring Service,vendor=OpenCloud,version=0.2].SbbID[name=Call Barring SBB,vendor=OpenCloud,version=0.2]':
    ->  "SLEE-Usage.Services.ServiceID[name=Call Barring Service,vendor=OpenCloud,version=0.2].SbbID[name=Call Barring SBB,vendor=OpenCloud,version=0.2]"
    ->  "SLEE-Usage.Services.ServiceID[name=Call Barring Service,vendor=OpenCloud,version=0.2].SbbID[name=Call Barring SBB,vendor=OpenCloud,version=0.2].(default)"
Tip Rhino guarantees that if a particular parameter set has a non-null parameter set type, then all its child parameter sets will also have a non-null parameter set type and can therefore also be individually monitored.

Monitor parameters in real time

Tip Once started, rhino-stats will continue to extract and print the latest statistics once per second. This period can be changed using the -s option.

To monitor a parameter set in real time using the console interface, run rhino-stats with the -m command-line argument followed by the parameter set name. For example:

$ ./rhino-stats -m "Events.insis-cap1a.[com.opencloud.slee.resources.incc.operation.InitialDPInd OpenCloud, 3.0]"

Tip The "50% 90% 95%" headers indicate percentile buckets for sample type statistics.

Configure console output

The default console output is not particularly useful when you want to do automated processing of the logged statistics. To make post-processing of the statistics easier, rhino-stats supports a number of command-line arguments to modify the format of statistics output:

  • -R — outputs raw (single number) timestamps

  • -C — outputs comma-separated statistics

  • -d — display actual value in addition to deltas for counter stats

  • -S — no per second conversion of counter deltas

  • -r — output one row per node

  • -q — suppresses printing non-statistics information

For example, to output a comma-separated log of event statistics:

$ ./rhino-stats -m "Events.insis-cap1a.[com.opencloud.slee.resources.incc.operation.InitialDPInd OpenCloud, 3.0]" -R -C -q

Write output to file

To write the statistical output to rolling CSV files, the -o command-line argument is used. The files will be written to a subdirectory named output. There is a limit of ten 10MB files that will be compressed once they reach their max size. These values are configurable through client/etc/rhino-console-log4j2.xml. The output rows are comma separated by default (same effect as -C command-line argument). All other console output modifiers will still work:

  • -R — outputs raw (single number) timestamps

  • -d — display actual value in addition to deltas for counter stats

  • -S — no per second conversion of counter deltas

  • -r — output one row per node

  • -q — suppresses printing non-statistics information
