bigpipe compress [stats reset]

The stats reset parameter will clear the current HTTP compression statistics

Vm-power-on-medium.png Usage Examples

bigpipe compress - display current HTTP compression statistics

bigpipe compress stats reset - clear current HTTP compression statistics

Accessories-text-editor-v2-medium.png Usage Notes

The bigpipe http command displays far more detailed HTTP compression statistics and, from v9.4.x, supercedes this command.

Compression can be performed in hardware by an AHA hardware module or in software by TMM;

  • Compression statistics for software compression are shown under the soft_sync heading
  • Compression statistics for hardware compression are shown under the aha_offload heading

Accessories-text-editor-v2-medium.png Bigpipe Usage Notes

font color=redFrom v9.4, be aware of the administrative partition that is currently active;/font use the bigpipe shell partition command to display the current active partition name and the bigpipe shell partition name command to change partitions.

A full command manual can be displayed using the man command followed by the command name, for example: man pool or by suffixing the command name with the help keyword, for example; bigpipe pool help.

In most cases, the font color=purpleshow/font keyword displays object status or statistics and the font color=purplelist/font keyword displays configuration. URemember/U, from v9.4, only objects in the currently active administrative partition will be displayed.

The bigpipe command can be abbreviated to just b (e.g. b help instead of bigpipe help.) Alternatively, (from v9.4,) you can use the bigpipe shell to enter commands without prefixing them with bigpipe.

Where curly or normal brackets {}' or () or quotes ' or exclamation mark ! are required as part of a command and you are not using the bigpipe shell, they must be proceeded with a back slash \ to prevent the BASH shell from parsing them as system commands.

font color=redDon't forget to save your changes using the bigpipe save all command as necessary./font noinclude/noinclude
