Statistics Application Commands

The statistics application gives you the ability to query for statistics on port utilization, flow-based and packet reception on programmable time slots. The statistics application collects the statistics at a configurable time range. You can specify the port number(s) or a range of ports for statistics to be displayed. The configured time range applies to all ports. Detailed statistics are collected between a specified time range in date and time format. You can define the time range as having an absolute time entry and/or a periodic time. For example, you can specify the statistics to be collected and displayed between 9:00 12 OCT 2017 (START) and 21:00 12 OCT 2017 (END) or schedule it on every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9:00 (START) to 21:00 (END).

You can receive the statistics in the following ways:

• User requests through the CLI for a set of counters.
• Configuring the device to display statistics using syslog or email alert. The syslog or email alert messages are sent by the statistics application at END time.

You can configure the device to display statistics on the console. The collected statistics are presented on the console at END time.
