NVME-LOG-PRED-LAT(1) NVMe Manual NVME-LOG-PRED-LAT(1)

nvme-log-pred-lat-event-agg - Send Predictable Latency Event Aggregate Log Page request, returns result and log

nvme [<global-options>] log pred-lat-event-agg <device>
                        [--log-entries=<log_entries> | -e <log_entries>]
                        [--rae | -r] [--raw-binary | -b]

Retrieves the NVMe Predictable Latency Event Aggregate 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 Predictable Latency Event Aggregate Log Page 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.

-e <log_entries>, --log-entries=<log_entries>

Retrieve the Predictable Latency Event Aggregate Log pending entries. This argument is mandatory and its success may depend on the device’s statistics to provide this log For More details see NVM Express 1.4 Spec. Section 5.14.1.11. The maximum number of log entries supported is 2044 for the device.

-r, --rae

Retain an Asynchronous Event.

-b, --raw-binary

Print the raw Predictable Latency Event Aggregate log buffer to stdout.

The following options are defined at the top-level nvme command and are available to this subcommand:

--dry-run

Print the command that would be executed, but do not actually execute it.

--no-ioctl-probing

Disable probing for 64-bit IOCTL support.

--no-retries

Disable retry logic on transient errors.

-o <fmt>, --output-format=<fmt>

Set the reporting format to normal, tabular, 'json, or binary. Only one output format may be used at a time.

--output-format-version=<version>

Select the output format version. Version 1 uses the original field naming, while version 2 (default) provides more consistent and script-friendly field names.

--timeout=<ms>

Set the timeout for the command in milliseconds.

-v, --verbose

Increase the level of detail in the output. May be specified multiple times to further increase verbosity.

These options can also be set as machine-wide defaults in nvme-cli.conf(5). A command-line flag always overrides the file.

•Print the Predictable Latency Event Aggregate Log page in a human readable format: 
# nvme log pred-lat-event-agg /dev/nvme0
•Print the raw Predictable Latency Event Aggregate log to a file: 
# nvme log pred-lat-event-agg /dev/nvme0 --raw-binary > pred_lat_agg_log.raw

It is probably a bad idea to not redirect stdout when using this mode.
