as you can see aacraid is not tested

[anmg]

I thought that zabbix agent2 runs smarctl --scan -d several times according to the number of drivers it knows. Isn't that so?

Let's update all programs, enable agent logs and see it.

Thaaks for note
I can not understand which arguments should I use, and suppose zabbix-agent same.

smartctl --scan -d aacraid,H,L,ID

as described here https://www.smartmontools.org/wiki/S...Controllers#14

trying something like this does not give results

smartctl --scan -d aacraid,H,L,ID /dev/sg3
# scan_smart_devices: DEVICESCAN with pattern not implemented yet

as to update, I see only this in zabbix-agent2

Hello!

Can not make to gather data from drives on Adaptec RAID controller.
scan command does not provide useful information

# sudo -u zabbix smartctl --scan
/dev/sda -d scsi # /dev/sda, SCSI device
/dev/sdb -d scsi # /dev/sdb, SCSI device

check RAID controller type:

# lspci | grep RAID
02:00.0 RAID bus controller: Adaptec Series 6 - 6G SAS/PCIe 2 (rev 01)

use lsscsi to determine actual drives' names. below is 2 separate Logical Volumes RAID1 each.

And finally I can get actual information from smartctl by for disk name /dev/sg2 - /dev/sg5

# smartctl -d sat --all /dev/sg2

lsscsi is to be installed, it was not preinstalled on Ubuntu 24.04.

So may be add more RAID controllers discovery logic to SMART plugin?

Also any suggestion how to use filters in Zabbix templates? will it be helpful if smartctl --scan does not return valid disk names?

[PavelZ]

"smart_status": {
"passed": false,

You noticed that there is a failure here, right?
This is certainly not encouraging. It is possible that Zabbix does not have enough different broken hardware to test the agent's behavior in such situations.

I suggest recording agent log and the full outputs of all commands so that they can be simulated after replacing the disk.

[PavelZ]

Don't you want to make sure the zabbix agent version match template version first? I don't see any version information from you.
It would be stupid to do complex debugging without checking something simple.

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to use smart.disk.discovery from the SMART by Zabbix agent 2 template, but I'm getting the following error:

cannot parse response: cannot find pair with name "value"

My system has 2x NVMe drives and 1x SATA SSD.

Here’s what I get when running smartctl -a -j:

• For the SATA SSD (/dev/sda):

"smart_status": {
"passed": true
}

• For /dev/nvme0:

"smart_status": {
"passed": true,
"nvme": {
"value": 0
}
}

• For /dev/nvme1:

"smart_status": {
"passed": false,
"nvme": {
"value": 4,
"spare_below_threshold": false,
"temperature_above_or_below_threshold": false,
"reliability_degraded": true,
"media_read_only": false,
"volatile_memory_backup_failed": false,
"persistent_memory_region_unreliable": false,
"other": 0
}
}

It seems like Zabbix expects a "value" field directly under "smart_status", but NVMe devices return a nested structure instead.

Has anyone encountered this issue or found a workaround?
Is this a known limitation, or is there something I can adjust in the template or item configuration to handle NVMe responses properly?

Any guidance would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

AlexPRN
We discussed similar issues a bit above. Could you please clarify what specific disks you have? Are you using raid? What is the operating system version?
Are you updating the template inside zabbix server when update agent?

[AlexPRN]

Hello.
Current Agent version on Windows aren't work with SMART. When I run

C:\Program Files\Zabbix Agent 2>zabbix_agent2.exe -c zabbix_agent2.conf -t smart.disk.discovery

on 7.2.x verisons it returns:

smart.disk.discovery                          [m|ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED] [Cannot fetch data.: got error executing worker pool: failed to execute smartctl: "{\r\n  \"json_format_version\": [\r\n  ................... : exit status 32.]

But on 6.2.9 Agent everything works fine. What's the reason, anyone know?

[PavelZ]

As usual, you need to take things apart and check them piece by piece:

autodiscovery should return list of device name as json.
filters should filter out /dev/sda and other problematic devices.
master Items should be created only for those disks that smartctl can query.
master items should be queried without errors
dependent items should be calculated from json.

[INFinite]

This filter works during autodiscovery /dev/sda polling will still not work.
You need to delete the problematic items and run discovery again.

I disconnected the template from the node with the data deletion, reconnected it, and configured the filter and started detection. The error is the same.
If I got something wrong, could you describe in more detail what needs to be done.

[PavelZ]

This filter works during autodiscovery /dev/sda polling will still not work.
You need to delete the problematic items and run discovery again.

[INFinite]

Well, what's the problem with a certain number of unsupported items? Other disks are being queried.

I tried to exclude all disks, but it's still an error

Cannot fetch data.: got error executing worker pool: smartctl returned error: unknown error from smartctl.

[PavelZ]

Today, once again trying to find a solution on the Internet, I came across bug report ZBX-26098 with the same problem.https://support.zabbix.com/projects/...sues/ZBX-26098

A very similar problem. Similar configuration with Intel software raid 1

Well, what's the problem with a certain number of unsupported items? Other disks are being queried.
