+.. _ceph-volume-inventory:
+
+``inventory``
+=============
+The ``inventory`` subcommand queries a host's disc inventory and provides
+hardware information and metadata on every physical device.
+
+By default the command returns a short, human-readable report of all physical disks.
+
+For programmatic consumption of this report pass ``--format json`` to generate a
+JSON formatted report. This report includes extensive information on the
+physical drives such as disk metadata (like model and size), logical volumes
+and whether they are used by ceph, and if the disk is usable by ceph and
+reasons why not.
+
+A device path can be specified to report extensive information on a device in
+both plain and json format.
