DESCRIPTION
-----------
Captures and displays real-time workload tracker samples for the given Solidigm
NVMe device. This command allows for monitoring and analysis of the device's
workload characteristics.

The <device> parameter is mandatory and may be either the NVMe character
device (ex: /dev/nvme0), or a namespace block device (ex: /dev/nvme0n1).

OPTIONS
-------
-e, --enable::
    Enable the workload tracker before capturing samples.

-d, --disable::
    Disable the workload tracker after capturing samples.

-s <time>, --sample-time=<time>::
    Set the sample interval. Valid values are: default, 1ms, 5ms, 10ms, 50ms, 100ms, 500ms, 1s, 5s, 10s, 30s, 1m, 5m, 10m, 30m, 1h.

-t <type>, --type=<type>::
    Set the tracker type. Valid types are: Base, CmdQ, Pattern, RandSeq, Throttle, Power, Defrag.

-r <seconds>, --run-time=<seconds>::
    Limit runtime capture time in seconds.

-f <count>, --flush-freq=<count>::
    Number of samples (1 to 126) to wait before extracting data. Default is 100 samples.

-w, --wall-clock::
    Log current wall timestamp when entry was retrieved.

-T <field>, --trigger-field=<field>::
    Field name to stop trigger on.

-V <value>, --trigger-threshold=<value>::
    Field value to trigger stop sampling.

-D, --trigger-on-delta::
    Trigger on delta to stop sampling.

-L, --trigger-on-latency::
    Use latency tracker to trigger stop sampling.

-v, --verbose::
    Increase logging verbosity. Can be used multiple times.

EXAMPLES
--------
* Enable the workload tracker and capture samples:
+
------------
# nvme solidigm workload-tracker /dev/nvme0 --enable
------------

* Capture workload tracker samples with a 1ms interval for 60 seconds:
+
------------
# nvme solidigm workload-tracker /dev/nvme0 --enable --sample-time=1ms --run-time=60
------------

* Disable the workload tracker:
+
------------
# nvme solidigm workload-tracker /dev/nvme0 --disable
------------

* Enable the workload tracker and capture samples with a specific sample time and type:
+
------------
# nvme solidigm workload-tracker /dev/nvme0 --enable --sample-time=1ms --type=Base
------------

* Capture Power tracker samples with a 10-second interval for 5 minutes:
+
------------
# nvme solidigm workload-tracker /dev/nvme0 --enable --type=Power --sample-time=10s --run-time=300
------------
