RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Doc Type: Release Note
Doc Text:
Support for device-mapper statistics facility (`dmstats`) The Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.8 release supports a device-mapper statistics facility, the `dmstats` program. The `dmstats` program displays and manages I/O statistics for user-defined regions of devices that use the device-mapper driver. The `dmstats` program provides a similar functionality to the `iostats` program, but at levels of finer granularity than a whole device. For information on the `dmstats` program, see the `dmstats`(8) man page.

Description Bryn M. Reeves 2015-09-30 15:23:59 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1222101 +++

Description of problem:
The kernel has supported configurable IO statistic for device-mapper devices since 3.11. Enabling and using them currently requires manual use of the device-mapper message facility and returns values in terms of diskstats-style counter sets.

Adding statistics support to libdevmapper and dmsetup would simplify configuration, inspection and management of device-mapper IO statistics and provide common mechanisms for use in other device-mapper applications like lvm2 and multipath-tools.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
lvm2-2.02.118.el6

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. dmsetup --help

Actual results:
Np statistics commands.

Additional info:

dm-stats kernel interface: see Documentation/device-mapper/statistics.txt

--- Additional comment from Peter Rajnoha on 2015-08-10 03:57:42 EDT ---

New "dmstats" commands has been added in recent lvm2 v2.02.127 upstream which is going to be included in RHEL 7.2 device-mapper subpackage (device-mapper v 1.02.104, a subpackage of lvm2).

See also man dmstats(8) for more info on usage.
