You can use the scout program to monitor the following types of statistics about the File Exporter on a File Server machine:
· The number of connections that principals have open to the File Exporter
· The number of fetches (requests to send data) and stores (requests to store data) that the File Exporter has serviced
· The number of active client machines the File Exporter is serving
· The number of kilobytes in use on each aggregate on the File Server machine
When a value exceeds a threshold that you designate, the scout program highlights the information on the screen. In addition, if the File Exporter on a File Server machine does not respond to scout's probes, scout automatically highlights the name of the machine, alerting you to the problem.
