DEVLINK-HEALTH(8)                                                                                               Linux                                                                                              DEVLINK-HEALTH(8)

NAME
       devlink-health - devlink health configuration

SYNOPSIS
       devlink [ OPTIONS ] health  { COMMAND | help }

       OPTIONS := { -V[ersion] | -n[no-nice-names] }

       devlink health show [ DEV ] [ sensor NAME ]

       devlink health sensor set DEV name NAME [ action NAME { active | inactive } ]"

       devlink health action set DEV name NAME period PERIOD count COUNT fail { ignore | down }

       devlink health action reinit DEV name NAME

       devlink health help

DESCRIPTION
       devlink-health tool allows user to configure the way driver treats unexpected status. The tool allows configuration of the sensors that can trigger health activity. Set for each sensor the follow up operations, such as,
       reset and dump of info. In addition, set the health activity termination action.

   devlink health show - Display devlink health sensors and actions attributes
       DEV - Specifies the devlink device to show.  If this argument is omitted, all devices are listed.

           Format is:
             BUS_NAME/BUS_ADDRESS

       sensor NAME - Specifies the devlink sensor to show.
Perhaps the commands should include the optional arguments so when
reading the description one doesn't have to scroll to the top of the
page all the time

e.g
     devlink health show [ DEV ] [ sensor NAME ] - Display devlink health sensors and actions attributes
   devlink health sensor set - sets devlink health sensor attributes
       DEV    Specifies the devlink device to show.
	 		      	      	     	set
       name NAME
              Name of the sensor to set.

       action NAME { active | inactive }
                  Specify which actions to activate and which to deactivate once a sensor was triggered. actions can be dump, reset, etc.

   devlink health action set - sets devlink action attributes
       DEV    Specifies the devlink device to set.

       name NAME
              Specifies the devlink action to set.
This is a little unclear to me?
       period PERIOD
              The period on which we limit the amount of performed actions, measured in seconds.

       count COUNT
              The maximum amount of actions performed in a limit time frame.
Perhaps		    	    	      	      
                The maximum number of actions performed in a limited time frame.
       fail   { ignore | down }
                  Specify the behavior once count limit was reached.

                  ignore - Ignore errors without execution of any action.

                  down - Driver will remain in nonoperational state.

   devlink health action reinit - reset devlink action attributes (period, count, fail, etc)
       DEV    Specifies the devlink device to set.

       name NAME
              Specifies the devlink action to set.
Perhaps s/set/reinitialise/g for the above two descriptions.

Hope this helps,
Tobin.
