Usage Syntax
bigpipe global
Usage Notes
To ascertain how much CPU time is being used by TMM (rather than the linux environment,) the CPU or TMM Cycles rows (dependent on version) should be analysed. Idle cycles are used by TMM, sleep cycles are used by the linux environment.
Not all of the total system memory is allocated to TMM, a certain amount is allocated to the linux environment. From v9.4 this is clearly shown by the two memory rows listed, one for TMM, one for the host. In older versions use the switchboot command with the -d option to display how much memory is assigned to the linux environment.
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.

The bigpipe memory command displays memory usage and allocation statistics for TMM.
Typical Output
Notes: Denials - no listen denials relate to requests where there is no virtual server, NAT or SNAT configured to deal with the request.
