Time-series Statistics

The show time-series statistics that provides visibility into the time-series processing on RBFS. It helps to identify any existing configuration errors and displays the number of active jobs currently, running to collect time-series data. The number of active jobs depends on the applied time-series metric configuration.

Syntax:

show time-series statistics

Option Description

Option	Description
`-`	Without any option, the command displays all statistics.
`pipe (\|)`	Allows you to specify options: grep and count.
`grep <grep_str>`	Specify the grep string.

Without any option, the command displays all statistics.

pipe (|)

Allows you to specify options: grep and count.

grep <grep_str>

Specify the grep string.
