ndctl−monitor − Monitor the smart events of nvdimm objects
ndctl monitor [<options>]
ndctl monitor
is used for monitoring the smart events of nvdimm objects and dumping the json format notifications to syslog, standard output or a logfile.The objects to monitor and smart events to notify can be selected by setting options and/or the configuration file at
/etc/ndctl/monitor.conf
.Both, the values in configuration file and in options will work. If there is a conflict, the values in options will override the values in the configuration file. Any updated values in the configuration file will take effect only after the monitor process is restarted.
Run a monitor as a daemon to monitor DIMMs on bus "nfit_test.1"
ndctl monitor −−bus=nfit_test.1 −−daemon
Run a monitor as a one−shot command and output the notifications to
/var/log/ndctl.log
ndctl monitor −−log=/var/log/ndctl.log
Run a monitor daemon as a system service
systemctl start ndctl−monitor.service
−b, −−bus=
Enforce that the operation only be carried on devices that are attached to the given bus. Where bus can be a provider name or a bus id number.
−d, −−dimm=
A nmemX device name, or dimm id number. Select the devices to monitor reference the given dimm.
−r, −−region=
A regionX device name, or a region id number. The keyword
all
can be specified to carry out the operation on every region in the system, optionally filtered by bus id (see −−bus=
option).−n, −−namespace=
A namespaceX.Y device name, or namespace region plus id tuple X.Y.
−l, −−log=
Send log messages to the specified destination.
- "<file>": Send log messages to specified . When fopen() is not able to open , log messages will be forwarded to syslog.
- "syslog": Send messages to syslog.
- "standard": Send messages to standard output.
The default log destination is syslog if "−−daemon" is specified, otherwise standard. Note that standard and relative path for will not work if "−−daemon" is specified.
−c, −−config−file=
Provide the config file to use. This overrides the default config typically found in /etc/ndctl
−−daemon
Run a monitor as a daemon.
−D, −−dimm−event=
Name of an smart health event from the following:
- "dimm−spares−remaining": Spare Blocks Remaining value has gone below the pre−programmed threshold.
- "dimm−media−temperature": NVDIMM Media temperature value has gone above the pre−programmed threshold.
- "dimm−controller−temperature": NVDIMM Controller temperature value has gone above the pre−programmed threshold.
- "dimm−health−state": NVDIMM Normal Health Status has changed
- "dimm−unclean−shutdown": NVDIMM Last Shutdown Status was a unclean shutdown.
The monitor will attempt to enable the alarm control bits for all specified events.
−u, −−human
Output monitor notification as human friendly json format instead of the default machine friendly json format.
−v, −−verbose
Emit extra debug messages to log.
