I have found this, which looks like it could be interesting ->
http://samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/install.html
(search for perfmon in the page)
It seems like this dir should have perf counters, but I don't see
them in my running instance. Anyone know about this?
On my instance it is:
/var/cache/samba/perfmon/*.tbd
But I don't see anything.
Any idea?

I would like to get raw metrics directly from the server itself

3rd party tool. Could anyone point me to docs or enlighten me on
how to
accomplish this?
I am looking to determine the availability of the server (up or
down), the
number of files requested, any caching information available and
anything else
which would be relevant to determining the overall health of the
server.
Only way I know of is smbstatus. If there was an interface to
smbstatus
where one could pipe commands and you get the results I could use
that as
a workable interface to connect "dstat" to a local samba server.
See:
http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/dstat/
Sadly, forking smbstatus and grepping output for a few counters is
more
work than it should be.
So I'm interested as well to learn how to get counters from samba,
other
than smbstatus that is :)
