All good points. That said, when I said 'write tool' and 'cifs top' I was thinking more interactive on the CLI of the actual filer to spot check stuff. I could have all of the talent in the world and not be able to produce this without getting it checked into the ONTAP code ;)
Perhaps I will un-lazy myself when I get free time and give a client script version of this a whirl.

Netapp -could- write a lot of things.
But there'd always be the "It'd be nice if..."
But..then they'd be paying script writers instead of engineers by the lot, and the CLI and ZAPI are pretty open and available.
But if I had any talent at all to script anything, Id be doing something like this too, perhaps.

Using the perfstat tool will give you some running incrementals (it zeroes for each iteration), but I think you want more of a tool like cifs top, no? I don't see why NetApp couldn't easily write something like this, and it would be a good tool to have: sysstat only goes so far.

Yes, I know about `qtree stats`. But, just like nfsstat, it gives you cumulative stats.
The NFS top tool I mentioned does an incremental nfsstat. I'm looking for the same--*incremental* qtree stats, in order to debug high usage as it is happening.

You mean qtree stats?
It shows CIFS and NFS ops per qtree - doesn't work at the vol level (wish it would).

I don't have a filer in front of me to test, but isn't there a stats show qtree?

Folks, Before I write one myself or modify the NFS top tool on the NOW toolchest:
http://now.netapp.com/NOW/download/tools/ntaptop/
does anybody have an equivalent one for `qtree stats`?
