## DESCRIPTION

### devlink health show - Show status and configuration on all supported reporters.

Displays info about reporters registered on devlink devices and ports.

*DEV* - specifies the devlink device.\
 *DEV/PORT\_INDEX* - specifies the devlink port.

*REPORTER* - specifies the reporter's name registered on specified devlink device or port.

### devlink health recover - Initiate a recovery operation on a reporter.

This action performs a recovery and increases the recoveries counter on success.

*DEV* - specifies the devlink device.\
 *DEV/PORT\_INDEX* - specifies the devlink port.

*REPORTER* - specifies the reporter's name registered on specified devlink device or port.

### devlink health diagnose - Retrieve diagnostics data on a reporter.

*DEV* - specifies the devlink device.\
 *DEV/PORT\_INDEX* - specifies the devlink port.

*REPORTER* - specifies the reporter's name registered on specified devlink device or port.

### devlink health test - Trigger a test event on a reporter.

*DEV* - specifies the devlink device.

*REPORTER* - specifies the reporter's name registered on the devlink device.

### devlink health dump show - Display the last saved dump.

devlink health saves a single dump per reporter. If an dump is

not already stored by the Devlink, this command will generate a new

dump. The dump can be generated either automatically when a

reporter reports on an error or manually at the user's request.

*DEV* - specifies the devlink device.\
 *DEV/PORT\_INDEX* - specifies the devlink port.

*REPORTER* - specifies the reporter's name registered on specified devlink device or port.

### devlink health dump clear - Delete the saved dump.

Deleting the saved dump enables a generation of a new dump on

the next "devlink health dump show" command.

*DEV* - specifies the devlink device.\
 *DEV/PORT\_INDEX* - specifies the devlink port.

*REPORTER* - specifies the reporter's name registered on specified devlink device or port.

### devlink health set - Configure health reporter.

Please note that some params are not supported on a reporter which doesn't support a recovery or dump method.

*DEV* - specifies the devlink device.\
 *DEV/PORT\_INDEX* - specifies the devlink port.

*REPORTER* - specifies the reporter's name registered on specified devlink device or port.

- **grace\_period** *MSEC*

  Time interval between consecutive auto recoveries.

- **burst\_period** *MSEC*

  Time window for error recoveries before starting the grace period. Configuring burst\_period is invalid when the grace period is disabled.

- **auto\_recover** { **true** \| **false** }

  Indicates whether the devlink should execute automatic recover on error.

- **auto\_dump** { **true** \| **false** }

  Indicates whether the devlink should execute automatic dump on error.

## EXAMPLES

devlink health show

List status and configuration of available reporters on devices and ports.

devlink health show pci/0000:00:09.0/1 reporter tx

List status and configuration of tx reporter registered on port on pci/0000:00:09.0/1

devlink health recover pci/0000:00:09.0 reporter fw\_fatal

Initiate recovery on fw\_fatal reporter registered on device on pci/0000:00:09.0.

devlink health recover pci/0000:00:09.0/1 reporter tx

Initiate recovery on tx reporter registered on port on pci/0000:00:09.0/1.

devlink health diagnose pci/0000:00:09.0 reporter fw

List diagnostics data on the specified device and reporter.

devlink health dump show pci/0000:00:09.0/1 reporter tx

Display the last saved dump on the specified port and reporter.

devlink health dump clear pci/0000:00:09.0/1 reporter tx

Delete saved dump on the specified port and reporter.

devlink health set pci/0000:00:09.0 reporter fw\_fatal grace\_period 3500

Set time interval between auto recoveries to minimum of 3500 msec on the specified device and reporter.

devlink health set pci/0000:00:09.0/1 reporter tx grace\_period 3500

Set time interval between auto recoveries to minimum of 3500 msec on the specified port and reporter.

devlink health set pci/0000:00:09.0 reporter fw\_fatal auto\_recover false

Turn off auto recovery on the specified device and reporter.

devlink health set pci/0000:00:09.0 reporter tx burst\_period 5000

Set the burst period to 5000 milliseconds on the specified device and reporter, prior to initiating the grace period.

devlink health set pci/0000:00:09.0 reporter tx grace\_period 0

Disable grace period on the specified device and reporter. Disabling the grace period also deactivates the burst period.
