smartctl-zabbix

Template and script for monitoring HDD S.M.A.R.T data from Zabbix on Linux OS S.M.A.R.T. items description copied from Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.M.A.R.T.)

Installation for Ubuntu or other Linux

Install smartctl: sudo apt install smartmontools zabbix-sender

Copy the scripts, zabbix_agentd.conf.d into /etc/zabbix/

Copy sudoers.d into /etc/

Check arguments: Server, Hostname, ListenIP in zabbix_agentd.conf

Arch Linux package

$ cd archlinux
$ makepkg -s

Configuration

This template uses active checks, so you'll need to make some changes to /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf. Edit them to match your configuration:

# Include=/usr/local/etc/zabbix_agentd.userparams.conf
# Include=/usr/local/etc/zabbix_agentd.conf.d/
Include=/etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf.d/
# Include=/usr/local/etc/zabbix_agentd.conf.d/*.conf
...
Server=192.168.10.39,192.168.10.17
...
ServerActive=192.168.10.39
...
Hostname=Saturn

Make sure it works

Data source script:

$ sudo /etc/zabbix/scripts/zabbix_smartctl.sh
{"data":[
{ "{#DEVNAME}":"sda", "{#VISNAME}":"sda", "{#DEVTYPE}":"sat" }
]}

$ sudo /etc/zabbix/scripts/zabbix_smartctl sda sat

Access permissions:

$ sudo -u zabbix-agent /etc/zabbix/scripts/zabbix_smartctl.sh
{"data":[
{ "{#DEVNAME}":"sda", "{#VISNAME}":"sda", "{#DEVTYPE}":"sat" }
]}

if /usr/sbin/smartctl --scan-open list empty output, then create /etc/zabbix/smartctl-devices.json

Example for HP SmartArray (cciss) hardware RAID:

{"data":[
{ "{#DEVNAME}":"sda", "{#VISNAME}":"sda", "{#DEVTYPE}":"cciss,0" }
,{ "{#DEVNAME}":"sda", "{#VISNAME}":"sda", "{#DEVTYPE}":"cciss,1" }
,{ "{#DEVNAME}":"sda", "{#VISNAME}":"sda", "{#DEVTYPE}":"cciss,2" }
,{ "{#DEVNAME}":"sda", "{#VISNAME}":"sda", "{#DEVTYPE}":"cciss,3" }
]}

Make sure to restart the Zabbix agent daemon:

$ sudo systemctl restart zabbix-agent

As usual, you'll need to import Zabbix template and attach it to target hosts. Wait a while for disk discovery to kick in (or use force refresh), then wait a bit more for the actual data collection to start.

Finally in zabbix setup the discovery rule and related items you need.
