SSID is Unbrowsable or Unstable

If an SSID is classified as unbrowsable or unstable, use one of the following methods to get information about that SSID:

Specify the full SSID explicitly
If you want to use a wildcard in the SSID to match multiple SSIDs, use the -a option with the sstore subcommand.

The following example shows that the kstat class is not browsable, though you can get information when you specify the SSID without the wildcard.

$ sstore list //:class.kstat*
Warning (//:class.kstat*) - lookup error: no matches found
$ sstore info //:class.kstat
 Identifier: //:class.kstat
description: kstat free-for-all namespace
  stability: stable
browsable: False

All resources in the kstat class are classified as unstable.

$ sstore list //:class.kstat//:res.*
Warning (//:class.kstat//:res.*) - lookup error: no matches found

You can get information or record data if you fully specify the SSID.

$ sstore info //:class.kstat//:res.system/cpu/0/intr
 Identifier: //:class.kstat//:res.system/cpu/0/intr
stability: unstable
       type: Untyped
description: CPU Interrupt statistics

If you need to use a wildcard, use the -a option to get information or record data.

$ sstore list -a //:class.kstat//:res.system/cpu/0/intr//:*
IDENTIFIER
//:class.kstat//:res.system/cpu/0/intr//:stat.crtime
//:class.kstat//:res.system/cpu/0/intr//:stat.level-count
//:class.kstat//:res.system/cpu/0/intr//:stat.level-time
//:class.kstat//:res.system/cpu/0/intr//:stat.snaptime
$ sstore info //:class.kstat//:res.system/cpu/0/intr//:stat.snaptime
           Identifier: //:class.kstat//:res.system/cpu/0/intr//:stat.snaptime
stability: unstable
                 type: counter
kstat name/value type: Relative time
          description: kstat snapshot time
          kstat scale: 1000000000

Some, but not all, //:class.net/ip statistics are classified as unstable.

The following command records values for eight statistics:

$ sstore capture //:class.net/ip//:stat.*

The following command records values for 26 statistics:

$ sstore capture -a //:class.net/ip//:stat.*

If you name the statistic explicitly, you can get information or record data without using the -a option.

$ sstore info //:class.net/ip//:stat.out-bytes
 Identifier: //:class.net/ip//:stat.out-bytes
   agg-name: bytes
description: bytes sent
 partitions: link
 partitions: protocol
 partitions: local-address
 partitions: remote-address
 partitions: application
       ssid: //:class.net/ip//:stat.out-bytes
      units: bytes
stability: unstable
  expensive: True
       type: counter
$ sstore capture //:class.net/ip//:stat.out-bytes
TIME                VALUE IDENTIFIER
2016-05-18T15:15:06 1201563.0 //:class.net/ip//:stat.out-bytes

The sstore export command does not require the -a option because that data is already available.

$ sstore export //:class.net/ip//:stat.*
TIME                VALUE IDENTIFIER
