# S.M.A.R.T. Input Plugin
Get metrics using the command line utility `smartctl` for S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) storage devices. SMART is a monitoring system included in computer hard disk drives (HDDs) and solid-state drives (SSDs)[1] that detects and reports on various indicators of drive reliability, with the intent of enabling the anticipation of hardware failures.
See smartmontools (https://www.smartmontools.org/).
If no devices are specified, the plugin will scan for SMART devices via the following command:
```
smartctl --scan
```
Metrics will be reported from the following `smartctl` command:
```
smartctl --info --attributes --health -n <nocheck> --format=brief <device>
```
This plugin supports _smartmontools_ version 5.41 and above, but v. 5.41 and v. 5.42
might require setting `nocheck`, see the comment in the sample configuration.
To enable SMART on a storage device run:
```
smartctl -s on <device>
```
### Configuration:
```toml
# Read metrics from storage devices supporting S.M.A.R.T.
[[inputs.smart]]
## Optionally specify the path to the smartctl executable
# path = "/usr/bin/smartctl"
#
## On most platforms smartctl requires root access.
## Setting 'use_sudo' to true will make use of sudo to run smartctl.
## Sudo must be configured to to allow the telegraf user to run smartctl
## with out password.
# use_sudo = false
#
## Skip checking disks in this power mode. Defaults to
## "standby" to not wake up disks that have stoped rotating.
## See --nockeck in the man pages for smartctl.
## smartctl version 5.41 and 5.42 have faulty detection of
## power mode and might require changing this value to
## "never" depending on your storage device.
# nocheck = "standby"
#
## Gather detailed metrics for each SMART Attribute.
## Defaults to "false"
##
# attributes = false
#
## Optionally specify devices to exclude from reporting.
# excludes = [ "/dev/pass6" ]
#
## Optionally specify devices and device type, if unset
## a scan (smartctl --scan) for S.M.A.R.T. devices will
## done and all found will be included except for the
## excluded in excludes.
# devices = [ "/dev/ada0 -d atacam" ]
```
### Metrics:
- smart_device:
- tags:
- capacity
- device
- device_model
- enabled
- health
- serial_no
- wwn
- fields:
- exit_status
- health_ok
- read_error_rate
- seek_error
- temp_c
- udma_crc_errors
- smart_attribute:
- tags:
- device
- fail
- flags
- id
- name
- serial_no
- wwn
- fields:
- exit_status
- raw_value
- threshold
- value
- worst
#### Flags
The interpretation of the tag `flags` is:
- `K` auto-keep
- `C` event count
- `R` error rate
- `S` speed/performance
- `O` updated online
- `P` prefailure warning
#### Exit Status
The `exit_status` field captures the exit status of the smartctl command which
is defined by a bitmask. For the interpretation of the bitmask see the man page for
smartctl.
#### Device Names
Device names, e.g., `/dev/sda`, are *not persistent*, and may be
subject to change across reboots or system changes. Instead, you can the
*World Wide Name* (WWN) or serial number to identify devices. On Linux block
devices can be referenced by the WWN in the following location:
`/dev/disk/by-id/`.
To run `smartctl` with `sudo` create a wrapper script and use `path` in
the configuration to execute that.
