Actions

Qualifier	Description
status	This action displays the status of the collection service on each node. In addition, this action shows the amount of space that is taken up by xcounters recordings on the Base System Container (BSC) for each node. This action also shows how many files there are for each node.
enable	This action enables the counter collection service. The service is enabled by default. This action is useful if the collection service has been manually disabled by the svc_cnt disable command.
restart	This action restarts the collection service. This action is useful if the counter configuration profile has been updated on the BSC and a reload is required.
disable	This action disables the counter collection service. The collection service is enabled by default; disabling the service takes effect for each node until a BSC restart occurs. After the BSC restart, the service is reenabled automatically by BSC startup procedures.
performance	This action enables the 1-second collection profile. This action is used mostly during investigations into appliance performance issues. A service restart is required after you run this command in order for the 1-second collection to start.
performance_disable	This action disables the 1-second collection profile. A service restart is required after you run this command in order for the 1-second collection to stop.
