This seems to be the most relevant group. Apologies if not.

Im trying to gather the stats that /usr/sbin/nsr/nsrls produces.

Ive seen a BMC Knowledge module which somehow gathers the metrics
running as a non root user.

nsrls as root prints:
/export/home/index/host1: 11295 records requiring 1944 KB
/export/home/index/host1 is currently 100% utilized

as non root:
nsrls: SYSTEM error: Cannot lock file index for client 'host1' (Bad
file number)

Any ideas how I can get these stats as a non root user?

Cheers

My SWAG, you can't. It may open sockets to ports that require root
privilege. To verify, try a truss and see what it does under root.
Then the same as non-root.

set up sudo and run visudo to edit the file, add the username that
you want to be able to execute the executable, use the full path for
the nsrls file..
