NAME

       nbdkit-stats-filter - display statistics about operations

SYNOPSIS

        nbdkit --filter=stats PLUGIN statsfile=FILE
                              [statsappend=true] [statsthreshold=PERCENTILE]

DESCRIPTION

       "nbdkit-stats-filter" is a filter that displays statistics about NBD operations, such as
       the number of bytes read and written.  Statistics are written to a file once when nbdkit
       exits.

PARAMETERS

       statsfile=FILE
           The file where we write the stats.

           This parameter is required.

       statsappend=true
           If set then we append to the file instead of replacing it.

       statsthreshold=PERCENTILE
           If non-zero, track request size and alignment distribution and print histogram.

           Requests are grouped by the number of bits that are needed to represent the request
           size (e.g. a request of size 3892 needs will be grouped with all requests of size
           2^11=2048 to 2^12-1=4095), and the number of trailing zero bits in the offset.

           Histogram output is truncated to PERCENTILE of requests. Default: 95.

FILES

       $filterdir/nbdkit-stats-filter.so
           The filter.

           Use "nbdkit --dump-config" to find the location of $filterdir.
