This script queries the SMART parameters of the drives on a system, and returns the status of those drives as well as reporting various metrics available from the SMART data.

The script gets its configuration from the environment or from a configuration file.

The script runs in write mode (with a “-w” switch) to create the status file from the output of the smartctl command. Typically this is done every 5 minutes from cron.

The script also runs in read mode (with a “-r” switch) to read in the status file and parse it for sending data and status reports to Xymon. Typically this is done every 5 minutes from a xymonlaunch configuration file (tasks.cfg on a Xymon server, or xymonlaunch.cfg on a Xymon client).

In read mode, the script constructs a status report for Xymon to warn if one of the following problems are detected:

  • SMART is not enabled on the drive
  • SMART self-test is not “OK”
  • SMART health status is not “OK”

The script also sends a data report for Xymon to turn into RRD files for graphing. The data points reported are:

  • corrected read errors
  • corrected write errors
  • uncorrected read errors
  • uncorrected write errors
  • non-medium errors
  • disk temperature

Client side

1) Copy the script into a suitable location, such as /usr/lib/xymon/client/ext/xymon-SMART.sh

2) Create a crontab entry (eg /etc/cron.d/xymon-SMART.cron) containing this:

*/5 * * * * root ( umask 002; XYMONCLIENTHOME=/usr/lib/xymon/client \
    CONTROLLER=cciss COUNT=0 DEVICE=cciss/c0d0 \
    /path/to/xymon-SMART.sh -w /tmp/SMART.status ) 2>/tmp/SMART.status.err

Adjust for your requirements. Use “cat /proc/partitions” to find a suitable DEVICE value. Test out values with:

smartctl -d $CONTROLLER,$COUNT -i /dev/$DEVICE

For multiple devices, specify a comma-separated list of numbers in the COUNT variable, such as:

... COUNT=0,1 ...

Note: This usage of COUNT is not supported by smartctl.

3) Create a Xymon client tasks entry like this:

[smart]
     ENVFILE $XYMONCLIENTHOME/etc/xymonclient.cfg
     CMD /path/to/xymon-SMART.sh -r /tmp/SMART.status
     LOGFILE $XYMONCLIENTLOGS/xymonclient.log
     INTERVAL 5m

Server side

4) Create entries in graphs.cfg like so:

  [smart]

      GPRINT:nmec@RRDIDX@:MIN: %5.1lf %s (min)
      GPRINT:nmec@RRDIDX@:AVERAGE: %5.1lf %s (avg)\n

Add further graph definitions are desired. The RRD files produce the following DS names:

  • err_r_c = corrected read errors
  • err_w_c = corrected write errors
  • err_r_u = uncorrected read errors
  • err_w_u = uncorrected write errors
  • err_nmec = non-medium errors
  • temp = disk temperature

5) Add “smart” to the TEST2RRD and GRAPHS variables in xymonserver.cfg, to have the graphs included on the smart status page and the trends page.

6) Add “TRENDS:*,smart:smart|smart_temp” to the relevant entries in hosts.cfg, or the “_default_” entry.

# SMART disk monitor
# Jeremy Laidman, 2012
#
# Version 0.5 - August 2012
#    - initial public release
#
# Initially based on Michael Adelmann's "smart" script
# (see: http://xymonton.org/monitors:smart), the main
# improvements are to support multiple disks, and to
# send error counts for graphing.
#
# This script queries the SMART parameters of the drives
# on a system, and returns the status of those drives
# as well as reporting various metrics available from
# the SMART data.
#
# How it Works
# ------------
#
# The script gets its configuration from the environment
# or from a configuration file.
#
# The script runs in write mode (with a "-w" switch) to
# create the status file from the output of the smartctl
# command.  Typically this is done every 5 minutes from cron.
#
# The script also runs in read mode (with a "-r" switch)
# to read in the status file and parse it for sending data
# and status reports to Xymon.  Typically this is done
# every 5 minutes from a xymonlaunch configuration file
# (tasks.cfg on a Xymon server, or xymonlaunch.cfg on
# a Xymon client).
#
# In read mode, the script constructs a status report
# for Xymon to warn if one of the following problems are
# detected:
#     - SMART is not enabled on the drive
#     - SMART self-test is not "OK"
#     - SMART health status is not "OK"
#
# The script also sends a data report for Xymon to turn
# into RRD files for graphing.  The data points reported
# are:
#    - corrected read errors
#    - corrected write errors
#    - uncorrected read errors
#    - uncorrected write errors
#    - non-medium errors
#    - disk temperature
#
#
# To Install
# ----------
#
# Client-side:
#
# 1) Copy the script into a suitable location,
#    such as /usr/lib/xymon/client/ext/xymon-SMART.sh
#
# 2) Create a crontab entry (eg /etc/cron.d/xymon-SMART.cron) containing this:

#       /path/to/xymon-SMART.sh -w /tmp/SMART.status ) 2>/tmp/SMART.status.err
#
#    Adjust for your requirements.  Use "cat /proc/partitions" to
#    find a suitable DEVICE value.  Test out values with:
#
#        smartctl -d $CONTROLLER,$COUNT -i /dev/$DEVICE
#
#    For multiple devices, specify a comma-separated list of numbers
#    in the COUNT variable, such as:

#    Add further graph definitions are desired.
#    The RRD files produce the following DS names:
#    - err_r_c  = corrected read errors
#    - err_w_c  = corrected write errors
#    - err_r_u  = uncorrected read errors
#    - err_w_u  = uncorrected write errors
#    - err_nmec = non-medium errors
#    - temp     = disk temperature
#
# 5) Add "smart" to the TEST2RRD and GRAPHS variables in
#    xymonserver.cfg, to have the graphs included on the
#    smart status page and the trends page.
#
# 6) Add "TRENDS:*,smart:smart|smart_temp" to the relevant
#    entries in hosts.cfg, or the "_default_" entry.
#
#
# Troubleshooting
# ---------------
#
# * Check the cron output in /tmp/SMART.status.err and look
#   for errors that indicate where the problem might be.
#
# * Check that the file /tmp/SMART.status is being updated.
#   If not, ensure that the script is being run by cron.
#
# * Ensure that the crontab entry is being run.  On some
#   systems, simply creating a file in /etc/cron.d/ will
#   not tell crond that there has been a change to its
#   configuration.  If this appears to be a problem, simply
#   touch the directory containing the crontabs, such as
#
#      sudo touch /var/spool/cron/tabs
#
# * If the status file appears correct, manually run the
#   script in read (-r) mode with debugging and dry-run:
#
#      xymoncmd /path/to/xymon-SMART.sh -r -d 1 -n /tmp/SMART.status
#
# * Check the Xymon log files, particularly xymonclient.log,
#   xymonlaunch.log and rrd-status.log.
#
#
# A note about compatibility
# --------------------------
#
# This script makes use of features of GNU "ls" and
# GNU "date" to determine if a status file is fresh.
# This probably won't work on systems that don't have
# GNU "ls" and GNU "date".  However such a scenario
# is unlikely on systems where smartctl is functioning.
