prerequisite
smartd must be running with -A option to write smartd attribute information to files.
For this you need to set smartd_opts (or SMARTD_ARGS, check smartd.service content) in /etc/default/smartmontools:
# dump smartd attrs info every 600 seconds
smartd_opts="-A /var/log/smartd/ -i 600"
You may need to create the smartd directory before smartd will write to it:
mkdir -p /var/log/smartd
Otherwise, all the smartd .csv files may get written to /var/lib/smartmontools (default location). See also https://linux.die.net/man/8/smartd for more info on the -A --attributelog=PREFIX command.
smartd appends logs at every run. It's strongly recommended to use logrotate for smartd files.
Configuration
Edit the python.d/smartd_log.conf configuration file using edit-config from the Netdata config
directory, which is typically at /etc/netdata.
cd /etc/netdata # Replace this path with your Netdata config directory, if different
sudo ./edit-config python.d/smartd_log.conf
local:
log_path : '/var/log/smartd/'
If no configuration is given, module will attempt to read log files in /var/log/smartd/ directory.
