I'm trying to get the check_ide_smart (v2.1.1) plugin working, and haven't had any luck. I'm wondering if it's a problem with the plugin being a bit too simple to deal with my hardware.
% sudo ./check_ide_smart -d /dev/sda CRITICAL - SMART_CMD_ENABLE I can't find any documentation on what that response means. However, my hardware has a megaraid card, which requires an extra argument for smartctl to work. % sudo smartctl -A /dev/sda smartctl 6.4 2014-10-07 r4002 [x86_64-linux-3.16.0-6-amd64] (local build) Copyright (C) 2002-14, Bruce Allen, Christian Franke, www.smartmontools.org Smartctl open device: /dev/sda failed: DELL or MegaRaid controller, please try adding '-d megaraid,N' % sudo smartctl -d megaraid,1 -A /dev/sda smartctl 6.4 2014-10-07 r4002 [x86_64-linux-3.16.0-6-amd64] (local build) Copyright (C) 2002-14, Bruce Allen, Christian Franke, www.smartmontools.org === START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION === Current Drive Temperature: 29 C Drive Trip Temperature: 68 C Does anyone have any suggestions for getting this to work?
