Sun Java System Calendar Server 6 2005Q4 Administration Guide

Counters Configuration (counter.conf) File

Calendar Server counters (statistics) configuration parameters are in the following file:

/etc/opt/SUNWics5/config/counter.conf

The counter.conf file is an ASCII text file, with each line defining a counter and its parameters: name, type, size (in bytes), and description. A parameter with spaces must be enclosed in double quotation marks (" "). A comment line must begin with an exclamation point (!). Comment lines are for informational purposes only.

The first part of a counter's name identifies the counter object used with the csstats utility. For more information about the command-line utilities, see Appendix D, Calendar Server Command-Line Utilities Reference.

Note –

Do not modify the counter.conf file unless instructed to do so by customer support staff.

This section describes the Calendar Server counter.conf parameters, including:
