HDD Health Statistics Using S.M.A.R.T Via ATA

Distribution	Official part of Checkmk
License	GPLv2
Supported Agents	Linux

This check monitors health statistics of hard disk drives using the information reported by S.M.A.R.T.

During discovery the current value of the following counters is stored as a service parameter.

- Reallocated sectors

- Spin retries

- End-To-End errors

- Command Timeout Counter

- Reallocated events

- Pending sectors

- (UDMA) CRC errors

If any of these counters increase, the check goes CRIT. It will become OK again if the service is rediscovered. This behaviour is configurable via the rule SMART ATA. Additionally, the check compares the reallocated events to the corresponding thresholds reported via smartctl.

The check requires enabling agent plugin smart_posix. Moreover, the monitored device needs support the ATA protocol.

Item

Block device name, e.g., /dev/da0

Discovery

One service is created if the device uses the ATA protocol.
