Werk #9611: Ignore irrelevant S.M.A.R.T attributes on SSDs
| Component | checkmk rack |
| Title | Ignore irrelevant S.M.A.R.T attributes on SSDs |
| Date | Oct 8, 2024 |
| Level | Trivial Change |
| Class | Bug Fix |
| Compatibility | Compatible - no manual interaction needed |
| Appliance Version | 1.7.7 |
With this release we start ignoring the following S.M.A.R.T attributes:
- 5 (Reallocated_Sector_Ct)
- 194 (Temperature_Celsius)
- 198 (Offline_Uncorrectable)
The rationale behind this is, that 5 and 198 are technically irrelevant on SSDs. As the Checkmk Appliance exclusively features SSDs for years now, we can ignore these. 194 is the drive temperature, which constantly changes as part of normal operation. As this floods the syslog and does not provide any value, we filter it. If you are concerned about the temperature of your drives, we refer you to the "Temperature" services in Checkmk.
