# Sample script for the exec plugin (collectd-exec(5))

#

# This script uses smartctl(8) to read HDD temperatures. The drives are

# attached to a 3ware RAID controller which hddtempd can't handle.

# Unfortunately the smartmontools don't have a library so we can't write a

# C-plugin, at least not easily.

# Please note that only root can read the SMART attributes from harddrives,

# because special ``capabilities'' are necessary. However, the exec plugin will

# refuse to run scripts as root, which is why `sudo' is used here for

# fine-grained root privileges for the user `smart'. This isn't as straigt

# forward as one might hope, but we think that the gained security is worth it.

# The sudo configuration looks something like this:

# -- 8< --

# Cmnd_Alias SMARTCTL = /usr/sbin/smartctl -d 3ware\,0 -A /dev/twe0, /usr/sbin/smartctl -d 3ware\,1 -A /dev/twe0, /usr/sbin/smartctl -d ata -A /dev/sda

# smart ALL = (root) NOPASSWD: SMARTCTL

# -- >8 --
