[munin-users] The S.M.A.R.T plugin, reloaded

[Nicolas S. <Nic...@ne...>]

Hi,

Here is a new version of the Python wildcard plugin that monitors all 
SMART attributes on SMART compatible hard-drives. This plugin depends on 
the smartmontools. It's available from here:
http://www.neo-lan.net/~nico/munin/smart_
An example of the output can be seen here:

Major changes since previously posted version include:
- Add "autoconf" and "suggest" capabilities (This should work on 
Linux2.4 and 2.6, OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD and SunOS).
- smartctl path can be passed through "smartpath" environment variable
- smartctl arguments can be overriden with "smartargs" environment variable
- Plot smartctl_exit_code bitmask, which is informative about the 
drive's health status.

The plugin needs the following minimal configuration in 
plugin-conf.d/munin-node in order to work:
	[smart_*]
	user root
	group disk
Additionnal configuration parameters are described in the plugin itself.

Can some people running on SunOS or *BSD tell me if everything works 
fine ? Portability problems reports are appreciated. There is a verbose 
option in the plugin that helps tracing the errors.

Thanx,
--
