Bastian de Groot has sent me an important patch for the Nagios plugin check_smart.pl which adds a flexible lookup for the hard drive type (SCSI or ATA).
Before the patch, it was assumed, that drives behind a MegaRaid controller are (S)ATA drives, therefore awaiting the health strings for ATA drives:
# separate metric-gathering and output analysis for ATA vs SCSI SMART output
# Yeah - but megaraid is the same output as ata
if ($interface =~ m/(ata|megaraid|sat)/) { foreach my $line(@output){
That's complete bogus, of course! There can be SAS drives behind a MegaRaid controller. And as we all know, SAS is nothing else than a Serial Attached SCSI device.
With the new lookup there is no fixed assumption anymore. The lookup checks itself from the output of the drive what kind of drive it is:
my $line_str_ata = 'SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: '; # ATA SMART line
my $line_str_scsi = 'SMART Health Status: '; # SCSI and CCISS SMART line
So big thanks to Bastian for that contribution!
