Ganesha Per Client Statistics

ganesha_mgr/ganesha_stats allow only seeing either the overall NFS operations or the per-export breakdown of the NFS operations.

There is no command that displays the per-client operations of a particular export which is critical when trying to track down which (out of tens) NFS client is causing the load on the Ganesha server.

    While the current interface allows a breakdown per mount, the need for a per client breakdown is still imperative in determining the rogue client in a case where a single mount point is being simultaneously mounted by a large number of NFS clients (in our case over 50).

    Can you help us understand the specific monitoring required here? Monitoring all clients across all exports can potentially generate a lot of log data. Is there a reason that ordinary network monitoring cannot identify the culprit?
