Each entry is saved with timestamp and in csv format\&. Users can use excel to analyze the data\&. Some examples of use cases are collecting SMART data for temperature characterization, data to calculate endurance, or collecting SMART data during a test or during normal operation\&. +.sp +The parameter is mandatory and may be either the NVMe character device (ex: /dev/nvme0), or a namespace block device (ex: /dev/nvme0n1)\&. +.sp +On success, the command generates a log file, which contains an entry for identify device (current features & settings) and periodic entries of SMART data\&. +.sp +This command runs for the time specified by the option , and collects SMART data at the frequency specified by the option \&. If the output file name is not specified, this command will generate a file name that include model string and serial number of the device\&. +.sp +If the test\-name option is specified, it will be recorded in the log file and be used as part of the log file name\&. +.SH "OPTIONS" +.PP +\-r , \-\-run\-time= +.RS 4 +(optional) Number of hours to log data (default = 20 hours) +.RE +.PP +\-f , \-\-freq= +.RS 4 +(optional) How often you want to log SMART data (0\&.25 = 15\*(Aq, 0\&.5 = 30\*(Aq, 1 = 1 hour, 2 = 2 hours, etc\&.)\&.
