+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.sp
+Listen to Discovery events (Asynchronous Event Notifications, AENs) on NVMe\-over\-Fabrics (NVMeoF) Discovery Controllers and for other events related to NVMeoF Discovery, and optionally connect to newly discovered controllers\&.
+.sp
+If no parameters are given, then \fInvme monitor\fR listens to Discovery\-related udev events (uevents)\&. If an event is received, it connects to the Discovery Controller and performs the equivalent of an \fInvme connect\-all\fR on the associated transport address\&. When run through a systemd service in rhis mode, the monitor can be used as an alternative to the udev\-rule based auto\-activation of NVMeoF connections\&. If this is done, it is recommended to deactivate the udev rule\-based autoconnection mechanism, e\&.g\&. by creating a symlink /run/udev/rules\&.d/70\-nvmf\-autoconnect\&.rules to /dev/null\&. Otherwise both mechanisms will run discovery in parallel, which causes unnecessary system activity spurious error messages\&.
+.sp
+Currently, the following event types are supported:
+.sp
+.RS 4
+.ie n \{\
+\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
+.\}
+.el \{\
+.sp -1
+.IP \(bu 2.3
+.\}
+"Discovery Log Page Change" Asynchronous Event Notifications (AENs) delivered via persistent connections to NVMeoF discovery controllers connected to the discovery service (nqn\&.2014\-08\&.org\&.nvmexpress\&.discovery)\&.
+.RE
+.sp
+.RS 4
+.ie n \{\
+\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
+.\}
+.el \{\
+.sp -1
+.IP \(bu 2.3
+.\}
+FC\-NVMe auto\-connect uevents sent when the FibreChannel transport discovers N_Ports offering NVMe services\&.
+.RE
+.sp
+See the documentation for the nvme\-connect\-all(1) and nvme\-discover(1) commands for further background\&.
+.SH "OPTIONS"
+.PP
+\-N, \-\-no\-connect
+.RS 4
+If this option is given,
+\fInvme monitor\fR
+will not attempt to connect to newly discovered controllers\&. Instead, information about found discovery log entries will be printed to stdout (in other words, instead of
+\fInvme connect\-all\fR, the monitor only executes
+\fInvme discover\fR
+for detected discovery controllers)\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\-C, \-\-cleanup
+.RS 4
+Disconnect discovery controllers when the program exits\&. This affects only discovery controller connections created while the program was running\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\-q <hostnqn>, \-\-hostnqn=<hostnqn>, \-I <hostid>, \-\-hostid=<hostid>, \-k <#>, \-\-keep\-alive\-tmo=<#>, \-c <#>, \-\-reconnect\-delay=<#>, \-l <#>, \-\-ctrl\-loss\-tmo=<#>, \-g, \-\-hdr\-digest, \-G, \-\-data\-digest, \-i <#>, \-\-nr\-io\-queues=<#>, \-W <#>, \-\-nr\-write\-queues=<#>, \-P <#>, \-\-nr\-poll\-queues=<#>, \-Q <#>, \-\-queue\-size=<#>, \-m, \-\-matching
+.RS 4
+These options have the same meaning as for
+\fInvme connect\-all\fR\&. See the man page nvme\-connect\-all(1) for details\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\-S, \-\-silent
+.RS 4
+Only print warnings and severe error messages\&. Do not log discoveries and newly created controllers\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\-v, \-\-verbose
+.RS 4
+Log informational messages\&. This option overrides
+\fI\-\-silent\fR\&.
+.RE
+.PP

+.RS 4
+Log informational and debug messages\&. This option overrieds
+\fI\-\-silent\fR

+\fI\-\-verbose\fR\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\-t, \-\-timestamps
+.RS 4
+Add timestamps to log messages\&.

+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+Listen to Discovery events (Asynchronous Event Notifications, AENs) on
+NVMe-over-Fabrics (NVMeoF) Discovery Controllers and for other events related
+to NVMeoF Discovery, and optionally connect to newly discovered controllers.
+
+If no parameters are given, then 'nvme monitor' listens to Discovery-related
+udev events (uevents). If an event is received, it connects to the Discovery
+Controller and performs the equivalent of an 'nvme connect-all' on the
+associated transport address. When run through a systemd service in this
+mode, the monitor can be used as an alternative to the udev-rule based
+auto-activation of NVMeoF connections. If this is done, it is recommended
+to deactivate the udev rule-based autoconnection mechanism, e.g. by creating
+a symlink `/run/udev/rules.d/70-nvmf-autoconnect.rules` to `/dev/null`.
+Otherwise both mechanisms will run discovery in parallel, which causes
+unnecessary system activity and spurious error messages.
+
+Currently, the following event types are supported:
+
+- "Discovery Log Page Change" Asynchronous Event Notifications (AENs)
+  delivered via persistent connections to NVMeoF discovery controllers
+  connected to the discovery service (`nqn.2014-08.org.nvmexpress.discovery`).
+
+- FC-NVMe auto-connect uevents sent when the FibreChannel transport discovers
+  N_Ports offering NVMe services.
+
+See the documentation for the nvme-connect-all(1) and nvme-discover(1)
+commands for further background.

+	discovery log entries will be printed to stdout (in other words, instead of
+	'nvme connect-all', the monitor only executes 'nvme discover' for
+	detected discovery controllers).
+
+-C::
+--cleanup::
+	Disconnect discovery controllers when the program exits. This affects
+	only discovery controller connections created while the program was running.
