Package: munin
Version: 1.2.6-1
I am trying to use the hddtemp_smartctl plugin with a cciss hardware raid
controller. It looks like support was just added in munin 1.2.6 (closing
#472207).
I have created the following symlink
/etc/munin/plugins/hddtemp_smartctl ->
/usr/share/munin/plugins/hddtemp_smartctl
and added the following to /etc/munin/plugin-conf.d/munin-node
=========================================
[hddtemp_smartctl]
user root
env.drives cciss0
env.type_cciss0 cciss,0
env.dev_cciss0 cciss/c0d0
=========================================
On my system the plugin graph didn't have any data so I decided to track
down why.
1.) If I run "munin-run hddtemp_smartctl" with smartmontools 5.36-8 I get
=========================================
CCISS ioctl error -1
CCISS ioctl error -1
CCISS ioctl error -1
CCISS ioctl error -1
CCISS ioctl error -1
CCISS ioctl error -1
=========================================
If I add a debugging print statement to the plugin to print the output of
the command before it's parsed, it contains the following error
"Read defect list: asked for grown list but didn't get it"
If I run the same command
"/usr/sbin/smartctl -A -d cciss,0 /dev/cciss/c0d0"
by hand as root, it works as expected.
2.) If I run "munin-run hddtemp_smartctl" with smartmontools 5.38-1 I get
=========================================
cciss0.value 27
=========================================
so that looks correct.
So it looks like for the hddtemp_smartctl cciss support to work you need a
smartmontools newer than 5.36-8. In the smartmontools changelog there is
mention of upstream releases and cciss patches, so something fixed it.
As for munin, I wanted to record this info somewhere in case someone else
runs into it (I was trying to get this working on etch which has 5.36-8).
Ideally you could add a versioned dependency, but smartmontools is only a
Suggests and I'm not sure if you can even version Suggests ...
Thanks,
