# devlink-monitor(8)

state monitoring

## NAME

devlink-monitor - state monitoring

## SYNOPSIS

**devlink monitor** \[ **all** \| *OBJECT-LIST* \]

## DESCRIPTION

The **devlink** utility can monitor the state of devlink devices and ports continuously. This option has a slightly different format. Namely, the **monitor** command is the first in the command line and then the object list.

*OBJECT-LIST* is the list of object types that we want to monitor. It may contain **dev**, **port**, **health**, **trap**, **trap-group**, **trap-policer**.

**devlink** opens Devlink Netlink socket, listens on it and dumps state changes.
