NAME
nvme-smart-log - Send NVMe SMART log page request, returns result and log
SYNOPSIS
nvme
smart-log <device> [--namespace-id=<nsid> |
-n <nsid>]
[--raw-binary | -b]
[--output-format=<fmt> | -o <fmt>] [--verbose |
-v]
DESCRIPTION
Retrieves the NVMe SMART log page from an NVMe device and provides the returned structure.
The <device> parameter is mandatory and may be either the NVMe character device (ex: /dev/nvme0), or a namespace block device (ex: /dev/nvme0n1).
On success, the returned smart log structure may be returned in one of several ways depending on the option flags; the structure may parsed by the program and printed in a readable format or the raw buffer may be printed to stdout for another program to parse.
OPTIONS
-n <nsid>, --namespace-id=<nsid>
Retrieve the SMART log for the given nsid. This is optional and its success may depend on the device’s capabilities to provide this log on a per-namespace basis (see the NVMe Identify Controller for this capability). The default nsid to use is 0xffffffff for the device global SMART log.
-b, --raw-binary
Print the raw SMART log buffer to stdout.
-o <fmt>, --output-format=<fmt>
Set the reporting format to normal, json or binary. Only one output format can be used at a time.
-v, --verbose
Increase the information detail in the output.
EXAMPLES
• Print the SMART log page in a human readable format:
# nvme smart-log /dev/nvme0
• Print the raw SMART log to a file:
# nvme smart-log /dev/nvme0 --raw-binary > smart_log.raw
It is probably a bad idea to not redirect stdout when using this mode.
