# Obtaining Network Server runtime information

Use the runtimeinfo command or getRuntimeInfo method to get memory usage and current session information about the Network Server including user, database, and prepared statement information.

- To run runtimeinfo from the command line:

      java org.apache.derby.drda.NetworkServerControl runtimeinfo
         [-h <hostname>][<-p portnumber>]

- The getRuntimeInfo method returns the same information as the runtimeinfo command. The signature for the getRuntimeInfo method is String getRuntimeInfo(). For example:

      NetworkServerControl serverControl = new NetworkServerControl();
      String myinfo = serverControl.getRuntimeInfo();
