nvme-solidigm-parse-telemetry-log - Parse and display Solidigm Telemetry log

nvme [<global-options>] solidigm parse-telemetry-log <device> [OPTIONS]

Retrieves, parses, and displays the Telemetry log for the given Solidigm NVMe device. This command provides detailed information about the device’s telemetry data, which can be useful for diagnostics and performance analysis.

The <device> parameter is mandatory and may be either the NVMe character device (ex: /dev/nvme0), or a namespace block device (ex: /dev/nvme0n1).

-g <num>, --host-generate=<num>

Controls when to generate a new host-initiated report. Default value 1 generates a new host-initiated report, value 0 causes retrieval of an existing log. Valid values are 0 and 1.

-c, --controller-init

Gather report generated by the controller.

-d <num>, --data-area=<num>

Pick which telemetry data area to report. Default is 1, or 3 if a config file is specified. Valid options are 1, 2, 3, 4.

-j <file>, --config-file=<file>

Specify a JSON configuration file for custom parsing of the telemetry log.

-s <file>, --source-file=<file>

Specifies a binary file containing a telemetry log dump to parse instead of retrieving the log from a device. When this option is used, no device argument should be provided.

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.

•Retrieve and parse the telemetry log with default options: 
# nvme solidigm parse-telemetry-log /dev/nvme0
•Retrieve an existing telemetry log without generating a new one: 
# nvme solidigm parse-telemetry-log /dev/nvme0 -g 0
•Parse a specific data area of the telemetry log: 
# nvme solidigm parse-telemetry-log /dev/nvme0 -d 2
•Use a custom configuration file for parsing: 
# nvme solidigm parse-telemetry-log /dev/nvme0 -j config.json
•Parse a telemetry log from a binary file: 
# nvme solidigm parse-telemetry-log -s telemetry_dump.bin

The command outputs the parsed telemetry log in JSON format to stdout.
