Package: munin-node
Version: 1.2.5-1
Severity: wishlist
Heya,
unfortunately hddtemp_smartctl is only able to recognize IDE disks. This
renders the plugin useless for most new servers. Also I guess it won't
be able to detect PATA disk drives as soon as you're using the new
libata drivers for them.
My suggestion here would be to change the plugin to poll the drive
temperature from the hddtemp daemon, which supports sata and ide drives
just fine.
Out of personal needs I've hacked together a little plugin which uses
netcat to get the data from the daemon. Netcat is probably not to
optimal way to do this as the package depends on a lot of perl stuff -
but it's very fast and just works well for me. Please bear with me as I
didn't even read any plugin documentation, I just read a few other
plugins and thought that's the right way to do it. If you like it please
integrate it into the package. I'm willing to fix any issues - but I
won't be able to rewrite it in Perl within the next time as I just don't
know enough Perl to do it in a few minutes. If you want to have a python
version instead - not a problem at all.
Comments are appreciated!
Cheers,
Bernd
