Prometheus S.M.A.R.T ctl metrics exporter

This is a simple exporter for the Prometheus metrics using smartctl. The script smartprom.py also comes with smartprom.service so that you can run this script in the background on your Linux OS via systemctl. The script will use port 9902, you can change it by changing it directly in the script. This script exports all of the data available from the smartctl.

Install

Note: You don't have to do this if you use the Docker image.

1. Copy the smartprom.service file into /etc/systemd/system folder.
2. Copy the smartprom.py file anywhere into your system.
3. Modify ExecStart= in the smartprom.service so that it points to smartprom.py in your system.
4. Run chmod +x smartprom.py
5. Install prometheus_client for the root user, example: sudo -H python3 -m pip install prometheus_client
6. Run systemctl enable smartprom and systemctl start smartprom
7. Your metrics will now be available at http://localhost:9902

Docker usage

No extra configuration needed, should work out of the box. The privileged: true is required in order for smartctl to be able to access drives from the host.

Docker image is here: https://hub.docker.com/r/matusnovak/prometheus-smartctl

The architectures supported by this image are: linux/386, linux/amd64, linux/arm/v6, linux/arm/v7, linux/arm64/v8, linux/ppc64le, linux/s390x

Example docker-compose.yml:

version: '3'
services:
  smartctl-exporter:
    image: matusnovak/prometheus-smartctl:latest
    container_name: smartctl-exporter
    privileged: true
    ports:
      - "9902:9902"
    restart: unless-stopped

Your metrics will be available at http://localhost:9902/metrics

The exported metrics looks like these:

Configuration

All configuration is done with environment variables.

• SMARTCTL_REFRESH_INTERVAL: (Optional) The refresh interval of the metrics. A larger value reduces CPU usage. The default is 60 seconds.
• SMARTCTL_EXPORTER_PORT: (Optional) The address the exporter should listen on. The default is 9902.
• SMARTCTL_EXPORTER_ADDRESS: (Optional) The address the exporter should listen on. The default is to listen on all addresses.
