Hi there,
I’m trying to get telegraf to report SMART sensor values of my disks. Generally it seems to work as some smart values are reported, but the actual attributes are missing, something like the following from the docs
smartctl_attributes,model=SanDisk\ pSSD,name=Reallocated_Sector_Ct,serial=06c9f4c44,type=sat,wwn=5001b4409f6c444c raw_value=0i,threshold=0i,value=100i,worst=100i 1711480345675066854
Can someone point me a way what’s wrong?
Thanks in advance
telegraf.conf
[[outputs.influxdb]]
urls = ["http://influxdb:8086"] # Name des InfluxDB-Containers
database = "smart_metrics"
timeout = "5s"
#[[inputs.smartctl]]
# devices_include = ["/dev/sda", "/dev/sdc", "/dev/sdg"]
# use_sudo = true
# interval = "1m"
[[inputs.smart]]
devices = ["/dev/sda", "/dev/sdc", "/dev/sdg"]
use_sudo = true
attributes = true
timeout = "1m"
nocheck = "never"
