Smart data with external metric

[joulester]

Hi! Is there a way to export smart data like smartctl with the external metric? I use external metric but cant see the smart data.

currently not via pve, but you could write your own parser/script to export that data

Yes I know there are some scripts that I can use with telegraf. But I don't like to modify my host so much if I need to reinstall it.
Any thoughts on adding this to the external metric?

Any thoughts on adding this to the external metric?

currently our daemon for the external metric server gathers and sends this data every 10 seconds,
i would rather not add there a smartctl execution for all disks
(as that daemon does already many things in each loop)

but by default the smartd daemon runs already and sends email on errors, i guess this could be configured to call a script (see 'man smartd' for this)

no 10seconds is to often. I will look into that. Thanks!
