Contents |
Usage Syntax
bigpipe compress [stats reset]
The stats reset parameter will clear the current HTTP compression statistics
Usage Examples
bigpipe compress - display current HTTP compression statistics
bigpipe compress stats reset - clear current HTTP compression statistics
Usage Notes
The bigpipe http command displays far more detailed HTTP compression statistics
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
Bigpipe Usage Notes
Don't forget to save your changes using the bigpipe save all command.
Note in most cases, the show keyword displays object status or statistics, the list keyword displays configuration.
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.
