Abstract

Claims (27)

1 . An information handling system comprising:

at least one processor; and

a Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) solid state drive (SSD) communicatively coupled to the at least one processor;

wherein the information handling system is configured to:

collect telemetry information regarding the information handling system; and

log the telemetry information in a vendor-specific portion of the NVMe SSD via an NVMe set command.

2 . The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the telemetry data is collected in real-time via a software agent executing on the information handling system.

3 . The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the telemetry data includes at least one of a name of the information handling system, hardware information, operating system information, and driver information.

4 . The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the logged telemetry information is configured to persist in the NVMe SSD during a reboot.

5 . The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the logged telemetry information is configured to persist in the NVMe SSD during a format operation of the NVMe SSD.

6 . The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the logged telemetry information is configured to be erased by a sanitize operation of the NVMe SSD.

7 . A method comprising:

an information handling system that includes a Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) solid state drive (SSD) collecting telemetry information regarding the information handling system; and

the information handling system logging the telemetry information in a vendor-specific portion of the NVMe SSD via an NVMe set command.

8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the telemetry data is collected in real-time via a software agent executing on the information handling system.

9 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the telemetry data includes at least one of a name of the information handling system, hardware information, operating system information, and driver information.

10 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the logged telemetry information is configured to persist in the NVMe SSD during a reboot.

11 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the logged telemetry information is configured to persist in the NVMe SSD during a format operation of the NVMe SSD.

12 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the logged telemetry information is configured to be erased by a sanitize operation of the NVMe SSD.

13 . An article of manufacture comprising a non-transitory, computer-readable medium having computer-executable code thereon that is executable by a processor of an information handling system for:

collecting telemetry information regarding the information handling system; and

logging the telemetry information in a vendor-specific portion of a Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) solid state drive (SSD) via an NVMe set command.

14 . The article of claim 13 , wherein the telemetry data is collected in real-time via a software agent executing on the information handling system.

15 . The article of claim 13 , wherein the telemetry data includes at least one of a name of the information handling system, hardware information, operating system information, and driver information.

16 . The article of claim 13 , wherein the logged telemetry information is configured to persist in the NVMe SSD during a reboot.

17 . The article of claim 13 , wherein the logged telemetry information is configured to persist in the NVMe SSD during a format operation of the NVMe SSD.

18 . The article of claim 13 , wherein the logged telemetry information is configured to be erased by a sanitize operation of the NVMe SSD.
