# netdata python.d.plugin configuration for smartd log # # This file is in YaML format. Generally the format is: # # name: value # # There are 2 sections: # - global variables # - one or more JOBS # # JOBS allow you to collect values from multiple sources. # Each source will have its own set of charts. # # JOB parameters have to be indented (using spaces only, example below). # ---------------------------------------------------------------------- # Global Variables # These variables set the defaults for all JOBs, however each JOB # may define its own, overriding the defaults. # update_every sets the default data collection frequency. # If unset, the python.d.plugin default is used. # update_every: 1 # priority controls the order of charts at the netdata dashboard. # Lower numbers move the charts towards the top of the page. # If unset, the default for python.d.plugin is used. # priority: 60000 # retries sets the number of retries to be made in case of failures. # If unset, the default for python.d.plugin is used. # Attempts to restore the service are made once every update_every # and only if the module has collected values in the past. # retries: 5 # ---------------------------------------------------------------------- # JOBS (data collection sources) # # The default JOBS share the same *name*. JOBS with the same name # are mutually exclusive. Only one of them will be allowed running at # any time. This allows autodetection to try several alternatives and # pick the one that works. # # Any number of jobs is supported. # # All python.d.plugin JOBS (for all its modules) support a set of # predefined parameters. These are: # # job_name: # name: myname # the JOB's name as it will appear at the # # dashboard (by default is the job_name) # # JOBs sharing a name are mutually exclusive # update_every: 1 # the JOB's data collection frequency # priority: 60000 # the JOB's order on the dashboard # retries: 5 # the JOB's number of restoration attempts # # Additionally to the above, smartd_log also supports the following: # # log_path: '/path/to/smartdlogs' # path to smartd log files. Default is /var/log/smartd # raw_values: no # raw or normalized values on charts. Default is normalized. # smart_attributes: '1 2 3 4 44' # add additional smart attributes charts. Default are ['1', '4', '5', '7', '9', '12', '193', '194', '197', '198', '200']. # # ---------------------------------------------------------------------- # Additional information # Plugin reads smartd log files (-A option). # You need to add (man smartd) to /etc/default/smartmontools '-i 600 -A /var/log/smartd/' to pass additional options to smartd on startup # Then restart smartd service and check /path/log/smartdlogs # ls /var/log/smartd/ # CDC_WD10EZEX_00BN5A0-WD_WCC3F7FLVZS9.ata.csv WDC_WD10EZEX_00BN5A0-WD_WCC3F7FLVZS9.ata.csv ZDC_WD10EZEX_00BN5A0-WD_WCC3F7FLVZS9.ata.csv # # Smartd APPEND logs at every run. Its NOT RECOMMENDED to set '-i' option below 60 sec. # STRONGLY RECOMMENDED to create smartd conf file for logrotate # # RAW vs NORMALIZED values # "Normalized value", commonly referred to as just "value". This is a most universal measurement, on the scale from 0 (bad) to some maximum (good) value. # Maximum values are typically 100, 200 or 253. Rule of thumb is: high values are good, low values are bad. # # "Raw value" - the value of the attribute as it is tracked by the device, before any normalization takes place. # Some raw numbers provide valuable insight when properly interpreted. These cases will be discussed later on. # Raw values are typically listed in hexadecimal numbers. The raw value has different structure for different vendors and is often not meaningful as a decimal number. # # # JOB configuration # log_path: '/var/log/smartd'
