fw ctl bench

Description

The benchmark mechanism provides a way to measure the time spent in the code between two points.

This command runs the CPU benchmark tests that collect these statistics:

Note - The command writes the output of these tests to the dmesg.

Syntax

fw [-d] ctl bench

-h

lock

[packet | ioctl] [<Limit>]

[stop]

packet [<Limit> | stop]

Parameters

Parameter

Description

-d

Runs the command in debug mode.

Use only if you troubleshoot the command itself.

-h

Shows the built-in help.

lock

[packet | ioctl] [<Limit>]

[stop]

Runs the lock benchmark that collects the FireWall Lock Statistics.

Available options:

  • No parameters - Starts the lock benchmark.
  • packet - Calculates the packet flow statistics.
  • ioctl - Calculates the IOCTL flow statistics.
  • <Limit> - Specifies the time limit (in seconds) for the benchmark. Default is 10 seconds. Maximum is 200 seconds.
  • stop - Stops the current lock benchmark.

packet

[<Limit> | stop]

Runs the packet benchmark test that collects these statistics:

  • Outbound Packets Statistics
  • Inbound Packets Statistics

Available options:

  • No parameters - Starts the packet benchmark.
  • <Limit> - Specifies the time limit (in seconds) for the benchmark. Default is 10 seconds. Maximum is 200 seconds.
  • stop - Stops the current packet benchmark.

Example for lock benchmark

[Expert@MyGW:0]# dmesg -c

[Expert@MyGW:0]#

[Expert@MyGW:0]# fw ctl bench lock 5

starting to collect statistics for 5 seconds
