ZPOOL-EVENTS(8) FreeBSD System Manager's Manual ZPOOL-EVENTS(8)

zpool-events
list recent events generated by kernel

zpool events [-vHf] [pool]

zpool events -c

Lists all recent events generated by the ZFS kernel modules. These events are consumed by the zed(8) and used to automate administrative tasks such as replacing a failed device with a hot spare. For more information about the subclasses and event payloads that can be generated see EVENTS and the following sections.

Clear all previous events.
Follow mode.
Scripted mode. Do not display headers, and separate fields by a single tab instead of arbitrary space.
Print the entire payload for each event.

These are the different event subclasses. The full event name would be ereport.fs.zfs.SUBCLASS, but only the last part is listed here.

checksum
Issued when a checksum error has been detected.
io
Issued when there is an I/O error in a vdev in the pool.
data
Issued when there have been data errors in the pool.
deadman
Issued when an I/O request is determined to be "hung", this can be caused by lost completion events due to flaky hardware or drivers. See zfs_deadman_failmode in zfs(4) for additional information regarding "hung" I/O detection and configuration.
delay
Issued when a completed I/O request exceeds the maximum allowed time specified by the zio_slow_io_ms module parameter. This can be an indicator of problems with the underlying storage device. The number of delay events is ratelimited by the zfs_slow_io_events_per_second module parameter.
config
Issued every time a vdev change have been done to the pool.
zpool
Issued when a pool cannot be imported.
zpool.destroy
Issued when a pool is destroyed.
zpool.export
Issued when a pool is exported.
zpool.import
Issued when a pool is imported.
zpool.reguid
Issued when a REGUID (new unique identifier for the pool have been regenerated) have been detected.
vdev.unknown
Issued when the vdev is unknown. Such as trying to clear device errors on a vdev that have failed/been kicked from the system/pool and is no longer available.
vdev.open_failed
Issued when a vdev could not be opened (because it didn't exist for example).
vdev.corrupt_data
Issued when corrupt data have been detected on a vdev.
vdev.no_replicas
Issued when there are no more replicas to sustain the pool. This would lead to the pool being DEGRADED.
vdev.bad_guid_sum
Issued when a missing device in the pool have been detected.
vdev.too_small
Issued when the system (kernel) have removed a device, and ZFS notices that the device isn't there any more. This is usually followed by a probe_failure event.
vdev.bad_label
Issued when the label is OK but invalid.
vdev.bad_ashift
Issued when the ashift alignment requirement has increased.
vdev.remove
Issued when a vdev is detached from a mirror (or a spare detached from a vdev where it have been used to replace a failed drive - only works if the original drive have been re-added).
vdev.clear
Issued when clearing device errors in a pool. Such as running zpool clear on a device in the pool.
vdev.check
Issued when a check to see if a given vdev could be opened is started.
vdev.spare
Issued when a spare have kicked in to replace a failed device.
vdev.autoexpand
Issued when a vdev can be automatically expanded.
io_failure
Issued when there is an I/O failure in a vdev in the pool.
probe_failure
Issued when a probe fails on a vdev. This would occur if a vdev have been kicked from the system outside of ZFS (such as the kernel have removed the device).
log_replay
Issued when the intent log cannot be replayed. The can occur in the case of a missing or damaged log device.
resilver.start
Issued when a resilver is started.
resilver.finish
Issued when the running resilver have finished.
scrub.start
Issued when a scrub is started on a pool.
scrub.finish
Issued when a pool has finished scrubbing.
scrub.abort
Issued when a scrub is aborted on a pool.
scrub.resume
Issued when a scrub is resumed on a pool.
scrub.paused
Issued when a scrub is paused on a pool.

This is the payload (data, information) that accompanies an event.

For zed(8), these are set to uppercase and prefixed with ZEVENT_.

Failmode - wait, continue, or panic. See the failmode property in zpoolprops(7) for more information.
pool_guid
The GUID of the pool.
pool_context
The load state for the pool (0=none, 1=open, 2=import, 3=tryimport, 4=recover 5=error).
vdev_guid
The GUID of the vdev in question (the vdev failing or operated upon with zpool clear, etc.).
vdev_type

vdev_devid
ID of vdev (if any).
vdev_fru
Physical FRU location.
vdev_state
State of vdev (0=uninitialized, 1=closed, 2=offline, 3=removed, 4=failed to open, 5=faulted, 6=degraded, 7=healthy).
vdev_ashift
The ashift value of the vdev.
vdev_complete_ts
The time the last I/O request completed for the specified vdev.
vdev_delta_ts
The time since the last I/O request completed for the specified vdev.
vdev_spare_paths
List of spares, including full path and any -partX.
vdev_spare_guids
GUID(s) of spares.
vdev_read_errors
How many read errors that have been detected on the vdev.
vdev_write_errors
How many write errors that have been detected on the vdev.
vdev_cksum_errors
How many checksum errors that have been detected on the vdev.
parent_guid
GUID of the vdev parent.
parent_type
Type of parent. See vdev_type.
parent_path
Path of the vdev parent (if any).
parent_devid
ID of the vdev parent (if any).
zio_objset
The object set number for a given I/O request.
zio_object
The object number for a given I/O request.
zio_level
The indirect level for the block. Level 0 is the lowest level and includes data blocks. Values > 0 indicate metadata blocks at the appropriate level.
zio_blkid
The block ID for a given I/O request.
zio_err
The error number for a failure when handling a given I/O request, compatible with errno(3) with the value of EBADE used to indicate a ZFS checksum error.
zio_offset
The offset in bytes of where to write the I/O request for the specified vdev.
zio_size
The size in bytes of the I/O request.
zio_flags
The current flags describing how the I/O request should be handled. See the I/O FLAGS section for the full list of I/O flags.
zio_stage
The current stage of the I/O in the pipeline. See the I/O STAGES section for a full list of all the I/O stages.
zio_pipeline
The valid pipeline stages for the I/O. See the I/O STAGES section for a full list of all the I/O stages.
zio_delay
The time elapsed (in nanoseconds) waiting for the block layer to complete the I/O request. Unlike zio_delta, this does not include any vdev queuing time and is therefore solely a measure of the block layer performance.
zio_timestamp
The time when a given I/O request was submitted.
zio_delta
The time required to service a given I/O request.
prev_state
The previous state of the vdev.
cksum_expected

cksum_actual
The actual checksum value for an errant block.
cksum_algorithm
Checksum algorithm used. See zfsprops(7) for more information on the available checksum algorithms.
cksum_byteswap
Whether or not the data is byteswapped.
bad_ranges
start, end) pairs of corruption offsets. Offsets are always aligned on a 64-bit boundary, and can include some gaps of non-corruption. (See bad_ranges_min_gap)
bad_ranges_min_gap
In order to bound the size of the bad_ranges array, gaps of non-corruption less than or equal to bad_ranges_min_gap bytes have been merged with adjacent corruption. Always at least 8 bytes, since corruption is detected on a 64-bit word basis.
bad_range_sets
This array has one element per range in bad_ranges. Each element contains the count of bits in that range which were clear in the good data and set in the bad data.
bad_range_clears
This array has one element per range in bad_ranges. Each element contains the count of bits for that range which were set in the good data and clear in the bad data.
bad_set_bits
If this field exists, it is an array of (bad data & ~(good data)); that is, the bits set in the bad data which are cleared in the good data. Each element corresponds a byte whose offset is in a range in bad_ranges, and the array is ordered by offset. Thus, the first element is the first byte in the first bad_ranges range, and the last element is the last byte in the last bad_ranges range.
bad_cleared_bits
Like bad_set_bits, but contains (good data & ~(bad data)); that is, the bits set in the good data which are cleared in the bad data.
bad_set_histogram
If this field exists, it is an array of counters. Each entry counts bits set in a particular bit of a big-endian uint64 type. The first entry counts bits set in the high-order bit of the first byte, the 9th byte, etc, and the last entry counts bits set of the low-order bit of the 8th byte, the 16th byte, etc. This information is useful for observing a stuck bit in a parallel data path, such as IDE or parallel SCSI.
bad_cleared_histogram
If this field exists, it is an array of counters. Each entry counts bit clears in a particular bit of a big-endian uint64 type. The first entry counts bits clears of the high-order bit of the first byte, the 9th byte, etc, and the last entry counts clears of the low-order bit of the 8th byte, the 16th byte, etc. This information is useful for observing a stuck bit in a parallel data path, such as IDE or parallel SCSI.

The ZFS I/O pipeline is comprised of various stages which are defined below. The individual stages are used to construct these basic I/O operations: Read, Write, Free, Claim, and Ioctl. These stages may be set on an event to describe the life cycle of a given I/O request.
