14 SMART plugin

Overview

The configuration file of Zabbix agent 2 is used to configure plugins. These Zabbix agent 2 configuration parameters are supported for operating the SMART plugin.

It is recommended to specify them in their own configuration file (e.g. smart.conf) and then use the Include directive for adding this file to the Zabbix agent 2 configuration.

Note that:

  • The default values reflect process defaults, not the values in the shipped configuration files;
  • Values support environment variables;
  • The path to the smartctl executable must be set either by adding its directory to the system's PATH environment variable or by configuring Plugins.Smart.Path; this applies to both Linux and Windows;
  • Zabbix supports configuration files only in UTF-8 encoding without BOM;
  • Comments starting with "#" are only supported at the beginning of the line.

Parameters

Parameter Mandatory Range Default Description
Plugins.Smart.Path no smartctl Path to the smartctl executable.
Plugins.Smart.Timeout no 1-30 global timeout Request execution timeout (the duration, in seconds, to wait for a request to complete before shutting it down).
