One Template to monitor multiple drives

[Durwin]

I am using smartctl to monitor a drive on a machine. Is it possible to create a template to use for multiple drives? For instance, I would like a template so I could just create an item based on this template to monitor different drives.

Thank you

yes its possible via userparameter like
Userparameter=smartctl[*],/path/to/command $1
where $1= first parmater from the item

you also can create a discovery script/rule to get them automaticly

Thank your for your reply.

I am already doing that, however I do not see how that helps creating a Zabbix template. If I want to monitor more then one smartd parameter like.

smart.diskcheck[/dev/sdc,Current_Pending_Sector]

I currently create an 'Item' for each. It would be great if I could create a template, and then define just the drive I wish for the template to use.

ok you can use usermacros like

smart.diskcheck[{$DISK},Current_Pending_Sector]

but this is limited to only one drive per host (via template) otherwise you must create a discovery-rule to get all /dev/sd* and them put them automaticly into you item, ala

#!/bin/bash

disks=/dev/$(lsblk |awk '/^sd/ {print $1}')
echo "{"
echo "\"data\":["
for disk in $disks
do
            echo "    {\"{#DISKNAME}\":\"$disk\",\"{#SHORTDISKNAME}\":\"${disk:5}\"},"
done

echo "]"
echo "}"

The user macro sounds very useful. I'll read up on it. As well as Discovery. Perhaps you might enlighten me as what to do with the output of the script. From what I have read so far Discovery uses #NAME like text, but you specifically formatted the output in brackets like it belongs in a file somewhere.

Thank you.
