Counters and Bulkstats
The ASR 5000 maintains many counters for gathering statistics and troubleshooting. In general you should not regularly
clear the counters, just let them increment over time. Counters track events since the chassis booted (unless cleared),
unlike
show commands that give the current state (for example, the current number of calls). See the on-line help for a
list of choices. A partial list of counters to choose from are:

show port datalink counters

show port npu counters

show radius counters all

show l2tp full statistics

show session disconnect reasons

show session counters historical all (This is an excellent command to see the call volume history for past three
days.)
You may clear the counters via CLI clear commands.
A bulk statistics feature allows you to push a very large array of statistical data to a remote server. Bulkstats provide
detailed information about the chassis’ condition, particularly over extended periods of time.
See Configuring Bulk Statistics section in the System Administration Guide for more information.
