Package: munin-node
Version: 1.0.0-1
Severity: normal

I've got hddtemp installed on my system (non-SUID) and wanted munin to
graph the HDD temperatures. Thus I let munin-node-configure create a
symlink from /etc/munin/plugins/hddtemp2 to
/usr/share/munin/plugins/hddtemp2. Immediately after I restarted
munin-node, I started getting tons of errors in syslog that look as
follows:
----------------------
hdb: drive_cmd: status=0x01 { Error }
hdb: drive_cmd: error=0x04hdb: drive_cmd: status=0x01 { Error }
hdb: drive_cmd: error=0x04hdb: drive_cmd: status=0x01 { Error }
hdb: drive_cmd: error=0x04hdd: drive_cmd: status=0x41 { DriveReady Error
}
[....]
----------------------

So far so good, the errors are normal because indeed hdb doesn't support S.M.A.R.T. and thus complains when being queried via hddtemp. So I added
the following to /etc/munin/plugin-conf.d/munin-node:
----------------------
[hddtemp2]
user root
env.ignore "/dev/hdb /dev/hdc /dev/hdd"
----------------------

Unfortunately, Munin seems to ignore that completely as even after
several restarts hddtemp2 is still querying all my IDE drives (and
causing lots of spam in my syslog). As I fail to see where I could've
gone wrong (correct me if you know more), I assume this is a bug.

thanks,

Hi,

Once upon a time, Michel Meyers <[email protected]> sagely scribed:

So far so good, the errors are normal because indeed hdb doesn't support S.M.A.R.T. and thus complains when being queried via hddtemp. So I added
the following to /etc/munin/plugin-conf.d/munin-node:
----------------------
[hddtemp2]
user root
env.ignore "/dev/hdb /dev/hdc /dev/hdd"
----------------------

Please try without the quotes. _All_ that follows the env.ignore (except leading whitespace) is put into the environment variable. The hddtemp2
plugin is likely trying to ignore the three devices

"/dev/hdb
/dev/hdc
/dev/hdd"

...just to be on the safe side, hddtemp2 now removes them as well.


-jo :-)
