No output after pipe

Hello

First of all thank you for your time in writing this very useful plugin. I have installed the plugin on nagios 4.4.14 - Rocky 9.

When I try it ( check_smart -d /dev/sda -i auto) I only get some of the output instead of the complete result as shown in the examples.

I only get this. Nothing is shown after the pipe

OK: Drive DELL MD32xx S/N 3C3005A: no SMART errors detected. |

Can you please let me know if I am doing something wrong? Is there something I need to change to make it work?

Thank you

Hi there. How exactly did you execute the plugin? Can you please show the full command.

commented

Hi

I run the command on the local machine which also has nagios on it. From inside the directory: /usr/local/nagios/libexec ,
I execute:
./check_smart -d /dev/sdb -i auto

Thank you

I assume you are using a DELL PERC RAID controller? This is similar to MegaRAID controllers. Then you have to use a different syntax. See examples on https://www.claudiokuenzler.com/monitoring-plugins/check_smart.php#Usage .

I suggest to first run sudo smartctl --scan to identify the physical drives.

Hi Napsty,

smartctl --scan = very helpful.
Thank you very much. Yes, it is megaraid. I get all the info now.

All the best.
