4dpdk-proc-info Application
5==========================
6
7The dpdk-proc-info application is a Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) application
8that runs as a DPDK secondary process and is capable of retrieving port
9statistics, resetting port statistics, printing DPDK memory information and
10displaying debug information for port.
11This application extends the original functionality that was supported by
12dump_cfg.
13
14Running the Application
15-----------------------
16The application has a number of command line options:
17
18.. code-block:: console
19
20   ./<build_dir>/app/dpdk-proc-info -- -m | [-p PORTMASK] [--stats | --xstats |
21   --stats-reset | --xstats-reset] [ --show-port | --show-tm | --show-crypto |
22   --show-ring[=name] | --show-mempool[=name] | --iter-mempool=name |
23   --show-port-private | --version | --firmware-version | --show-rss-reta |
24   --show-module-eeprom | --show-rx-descriptor queue_id:offset:num |
25   --show-tx-descriptor queue_id:offset:num | --show-edev-queue-xstats=queue_num:evdev_id |
26   --show-edev-port-xstats=port_num :evdev_id | --edev-dump-xstats=evdev_id |
27   --edev-reset-xstats=evdev_id | --show-edev-device-xstats=evdev_id]

29Parameters
30~~~~~~~~~~
31**-p PORTMASK**: Hexadecimal bitmask of ports to configure.
32
33**--stats**
34The stats parameter controls the printing of generic port statistics. If no
35port mask is specified stats are printed for all DPDK ports.
36
37**--xstats**
38The xstats parameter controls the printing of extended port statistics. If no
39port mask is specified xstats are printed for all DPDK ports.
40
41**--stats-reset**
42The stats-reset parameter controls the resetting of generic port statistics. If
43no port mask is specified, the generic stats are reset for all DPDK ports.
44
45**--xstats-reset**
46The xstats-reset parameter controls the resetting of extended port statistics.
47If no port mask is specified xstats are reset for all DPDK ports.
48
49**-m**: Print DPDK memory information.
50
51**--show-port**
52The show-port parameter displays port level various configuration information
53associated to RX port queue pair.
54
55**--show-tm**
56The show-tm parameter displays per port traffic manager settings, current
57configurations and statistics.
58
59**--show-crypto**
60The show-crypto parameter displays available cryptodev configurations,
61settings and stats per node.
62
63**--show-ring[=name]**
64The show-ring parameter display current allocation of all ring with
65debug information. Specifying the name allows to display details for specific
66ring. For invalid or no ring name, whole list is dump.
67
68**--show-mempool[=name]**
69The show-mempool parameter display current allocation of all mempool
70debug information. Specifying the name allows to display details for specific
71mempool. For invalid or no mempool name, whole list is dump.
72
73**--iter-mempool=name**
74The iter-mempool parameter iterates and displays mempool elements specified
75by name. For invalid or no mempool name no elements are displayed.
76

101specified by queue_id, offset and num.
102queue_id: A Tx queue identifier on this port.
103offset: The offset of the descriptor starting from tail.
104num: The number of the descriptors to dump.
105
106**--show-edev-queue-xstats queue_num:evdev_id**
107The show-edev-queue-xstats parameter enables stats for specified queue or all queues.
108queue_num: The queue number to get queue xstats for this specified queue or * for all queues.
109evdev_id: Id of the eventdev device to display xstats.
110
111**--show-edev-port-xstats port_num:evdev_id**

127
128Limitations
129-----------
130
131* dpdk-proc-info should run alongside primary process with same DPDK version.
132
133* When running ``dpdk-proc-info`` with shared library mode, it is required to
134  pass the same NIC PMD libraries as used for the primary application. Any
135  mismatch in PMD library arguments can lead to undefined behavior and results
136  affecting primary application too.
137
138* Stats retrieval using ``dpdk-proc-info`` is not supported for virtual devices like PCAP and TAP.
139
140* Since default DPDK EAL arguments for ``dpdk-proc-info`` are ``-c1, -n4 & --proc-type=secondary``,
141  It is not expected that the user passes any EAL arguments.
