HDD Health (S.M.A.R.T.) monitoring script

[jengstro]

ok... so new issue... What information do I need to provide for the following image when adding the graph template to a device?

[BSOD2600]

Not to sound like an ass, but did you read the readme.txt?

Having trouble importing the templates for some reason I am getting unmet dependancies...

How could I be screwing the import up... it seems pretty easy from your readme.

I have the same error .. i use cacti 0.8.6 g ...

[jengstro]

Yes BSOD but I will look over it again.

[jengstro]

I can only assume you are referring to the following section of your readme...

5. Create the following output fields. These are the common fields I found that my various computers/hard drives used. If the computers you monitor do not have any of these fields, one can leave them out. Conversely, one can add fields that are not present to be monitored. Just remember to add them to the data templates and graph too. If you do add new ones, pay attention to how the script outputs the name.

I have read over this several times but cannot get the idea. Any chance you might clarify it a bit? So do I remove the output fields above? How do I figure out was output fields to use if not these?

Thanks.

[BSOD2600]

You need to look in your HDD Health directory for the files to use. The HDD report file is the name of the hard drive (ex: WDC WD740GD-75FLA1.txt). The HDD data file is the serial number of the hard drive (ex: WD-WMAKE1359731.hdd). You can find it either in the HDD report file or inside HDD Health.

[jengstro]

Where I unzipped the script? There are no txt files that I can find in the cacti directory or the unzipped script directory.

Sorry but I still am confused for some reason.

What do you mean by...

or inside HDD Health.

[jengstro]

Oh hell... you need to have a 2rd party application installed? Damn I am slow at times!

It would be very nice to have smartmontools under Linux also working with cacti. Does somebody work on that and also want to share?

Please note the following command is frowned upon by people who develop in perl, but it does what is needed.

It's actually easy enough to script for what you want. And easy to expand with perl if you want more. I just wanted two seperate ones for Power_On hours and temp of the drive. The following is the code I use to get info for my temp.

Please note, that I added my user that that will run smartctl to the sudoers file with only permission to run that single command. So that I don't get a permission denied(slightly important as you actually want to get values)

#!/usr/bin/perl
my $output = `sudo /usr/sbin/smartctl -a /dev/hda | grep -i temperature | awk '{print \$10}'`;
print $output;

Here are the repaired templates.

BSOD, I want a copy of the database that contains this template.

Please email it to me.

That'll have to wait another 2+ weeks when I'm back at college. Forget exactly what version I started to use Cacti... Whatever version was out around 08 May 2004. Been upgrading ever since.

Hi. Well the newest hdd health cannot be used as commercial use.. And what i saw that program cannot generate reports, there is no option to create report as *.txt and *.hdd(searched the whole disks for that files). Can u rewrite a script to use for example smartmontools(windows version) or crystal disk info? The script is old,dont work and i didnt find any working alternate solution on windows hosts.

[BSOD2600]

I can put smartmontools on my todo list, but wouldn't expect it any time soon.

[Vampire1984]

Ok thank You very much;). I will wait;) Cheers
