# nvme-seagate-get-host-tele(1)

Retrieve Seagate Host-Initiated Telemetry in either hex-dump (default) or binary format

## NAME

nvme-seagate-get-host-tele - Retrieve Seagate Host-Initiated Telemetry in either hex-dump (default) or binary format

## SYNOPSIS

```
nvme [<global-options>] seagate get-host-tele <device> [OPTIONS]
```

## DESCRIPTION

This will only work on Seagate devices supporting this feature. Not all commands work across all product families.

The *\<device\>* parameter is mandatory and may be either an NVMe character device (ex: /dev/nvme0) or an block device (ex: /dev/nvme0n1).

## OPTIONS

- \-n \<NUM\>, --namespace-id=\<NUM\>

  desired namespace The broadcast value 0xffffffff can also be given as *all* or *-1*.

- \-i \<NUM\>, --log\_specific=\<NUM\>

  1 - controller shall capture Data representing the internal state of the controller at the time the command is processed. 0 - controller shall not update the Telemetry Host Initiated Data.

- \-b, --raw-binary

  output in raw format

## GLOBAL OPTIONS

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. Other versions are rejected.

- \--quiet

  Suppress informational messages. Errors are still reported, and --quiet cancels any --verbose for the library log level.

- \--set-options=\<key=value\>\[,\<key=value\>...\]

  Set libnvme library options for this invocation. Supported keys are *force-4k*, *mi-probe-enabled*, *test-base-dir* and *test-sysfs-dir*.

- \--timeout=\<ms\>

  Set the timeout for the command in milliseconds. *infinite* or *-1* waits without a time limit (0xffffffff).

- \-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)](/nvme-cli.conf/5.md). A command-line flag always overrides the file.

## EXAMPLES

Get the host initiated telemetry log in hexdump or binary format for the specified device.

```

```
