# get_counts
[[Source]](https://github.com/ripple/rippled/blob/c7118a183a660648aa88a3546a6b2c5bce858440/src/ripple/rpc/handlers/GetCounts.cpp "Source")

The `get_counts` command provides various stats about the health of the server, mostly the number of objects of different types that it currently holds in memory.

_The `get_counts` method is an [admin method](admin-api-methods.html) that cannot be run by unprivileged users._

    "params": [
        {
            "min_count": 100
        }
    ]
}
```

*Commandline*

|:--------------|:-------|:----------------------------------------------------|
| `Transaction` | Number | The number of `Transaction` objects in memory       |
| `Ledger`      | Number | The number of ledgers in memory                     |
| `uptime`      | String | The amount of time this server has been running uninterrupted. |

For most other entries, the value indicates the number of objects of that type currently in memory.

### Possible Errors
