IBDATACOUNTS(8)

💅 IBDATACOUNTS — okay bestie, let's get those port data counters

So this is ibdatacounts, part of the OpenIB Diagnostics crew (section 8 of the manual, iykyk). It's the little tool that goes and fetches the PMA data counters for you. Periodt.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ibdatacounts [-h] [-b] [-v] [-G] [-N | -nocolor] [-C ca_name] [-P
ca_port] [-t(imeout) timeout_ms] <lid|guid> [<port>]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so here's the tea 🍓: ibdatacounts goes and obtains the PMA data counters from whatever port (or node) you point it at.

And listen — the port address you hand it is a lid by default. It's only a guid if you slap the -G option on there. So don't get it twisted 💅

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• -G — use a GUID address argument instead of a lid. In most cases it's the Port GUID, bestie. Example: "0x08f1040023" ✨
• -v — crank the verbosity level up. Louder. More words. 🔥
• -b — brief mode. Short and sweet, no yapping.
• -N | -nocolor — use mono instead of color mode. Aesthetic downgrade but okay 😭
• -C <ca_name> — use the ca_name you specified. You pick it, it uses it 🫶
• -P <ca_port> — use the ca_port you specified. Same energy, different letter.
• -t <timeout_ms> — override the default timeout for the solicited mads. Because sometimes the default just isn't giving ⏳

💖 EXAMPLE 💖

ibdatacounts 2           # show data counters for lid 2

ibdatacounts 2   4       # show data counters for lid 2 port 4

Look at that. Two commands. Both slaying. The first one's all "gimme lid 2", the second one's like "lid 2 but specifically port 4" 🦋
