Clear the node-specific, in-memory cache of counters.

Syntax

COUNTERS CLEAR

Command Qualifiers	Defaults
/ASSOCIATIONS	/ASSOCIATIONS
/CHANNELS	/CHANNELS

Parameters

None.

Description

To clear (zero) the counters in a node-specific, in-memory cache, issue the COUNTERS CLEAR command on that particular node. The command creates the node-specific, in-memory section of association and channel counters if it does not already exist. Then it zeros all fields in the in-memory section. Note that the counters will be zeroed without first merging their values into the cluster-wide database of channel counters. If a cluster-wide, on-disk database does not already exist, a new one will be created. Finally, the fields in the on-disk database for numbers of stored messages, message recipients, and message volumes are set based on the entries in the PMDF queue cache database.

Either the association counters, or channel counters, or both, may be cleared. The default is to clear both association and channel counters.

If you want to update the on-disk database with the old in-memory values before clearing them, then you should issue a COUNTERS SYNCHRONIZE command before issuing the COUNTERS CLEAR command.
