Niklas Schnelle e8550a4f8d opticsmon: zpcimon: Rename opticsmon to zpcimon
The opticsmon tool started out as a tool for monitoring the health of
optical modules in directly attached PCI NICs. In the future however it
will also monitor the health of other PCI devices. In particular in
a first step it will monitor the health of directly attached NVMe
devices.

To reflect this broadening of its scope rename opticsmon to zpcimon. Add
zpcimon.service and install it both under the new name and symlinked as
opticsmon.service for backwards compatibility. Since users are expected
to mostly just enable the service this keeps old instructions just
working.

.SH NAME
zpcimon - Monitor optical modules for directly attached PCI based NICs
.
.
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B "zpcimon"
.I "OPTIONS"
.
.
.SH DESCRIPTION
Use
.B zpcimon
to monitor the health of the optical modules of directly attached PCI based
NICs. When executed without the \fB--monitor\fR option it will collect optical
module data from all available PCI network interface physical functions and
print a summary in JSON format. Add the \fB--send-report\fR option to report
this data to the support element.
.
.
.SH OPTIONS
.SS Operation Options
.OD monitor "m"
Run continuously and report on link state changes and periodically
.PP
.
.OD send-report "r"
Report the optics health data to the Support Element (SE)
.PP
.
.OD quiet "q"
Be quiet and don't print optics health summary
.PP
.
.OD interval "i" "seconds"
Interval in seconds at which to collect monitoring data in the absence of link
state changes. A value larger than 24 hours (86400 seconds) is clamped down to
24 hours.
.PP
.
.OD module-info ""
Include a base64 encoded binary dump of the module's SFF-8636/8472/8024
standard data for each netdev. This matches "ethtool --module-info <netdev> raw
on".
.B Example: Extract module information for the first adapter
.CL zpcimon --module-info | jq -r '.adapters[0].netdevs[0].optics.module_info' | base64 -d | hexdump -C
