SMART hard-disk monitoring

[Andy Shellam]

Has anyone got a check plugin working for monitoring SMART hard disk 
status thresholds?

The only one I found on nagiosexchange (check_smartmon) needs to be run 
as root to get permission to read the drive stats, and also doesn't work 
- it causes the below Python trace-back:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./check_smartmon", line 254, in ?
    (healthStatus, temperature) = parseOutput(healthStatusOutput, 
temperatureOutput)
  File "./check_smartmon", line 163, in parseOutput
    healthStatus = parts[-1]
IndexError: list index out of range


I've just ran smartctl and it appears you do need to be root, so if I 
can find a working plugin I can just sudo the nagios user.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Andy.
