Accounting Traffic and Server Statistics

Use the show accounting command to monitor the status and observe traffic statistics of your account servers.

The syntax for the show accounting command follows. 

show accounting [<IPPort> | All] | [connections] | [ servers ]

Command arguments refine the output to address more specific detail, including:

  • <ipaddress:port>—Reports on the server you specify with IP address and port. Specify these servers using the syntax <ipaddress:port>.
  • all—Reports on all accounting servers
  • connections—Shows connections for all accounting servers
  • servers—Reports on servers when resolved using DNS and connection details for all Accounting Servers per pool

The output below presents the standard traffic data generated when using no argument, the ipport argument and the all argument.

You use the servers argument to display those servers resolved by DNS, based on whether they reside in the primary or secondary pool. This command displays the servers based on IP resolution and includes DNS detail including priority and weightage.

When using DNS to resolve CCF servers, you can use the following additional commands can help you determine DNS status, traffic and resolutions, within the context of the DNS server operating as an Edge Application Server (EAS)

  • show dns cache-entry-eas
  • show dns stats-eas
  • reset dns-eas
