Could not detect type of manpage: smart_stats. Maybe the check is missing

[layer7.net (Oliver)]

CMK version:
2.0.0p19 (CRE)

OS version:
docker
checkmk/check-mk-raw:2.0.0-latest

Error message:
Could not detect type of manpage: smart_stats. Maybe the check is missing

Here we have the plugin in the available plugins:

But clicking on it will lead to:

Also its not existing in

Setup > Services > Service monitoring rules

There only OpenHardwareMonitor S.M.A.R.T is existing

So howto configure / use this plugin?

Thank you!

Hi @layer7.net

To use the smart plugin you just need to deploy it into the appropriate directory, as you would do, with any plugin. See the manual for more details, e.g.: 6.2. Manual installation of plug-ins (Linux agent).

Regarding your instance behaviour: The following was done on a 2.0.0p19 CEE and CRE instance, not as docker container, but with the “normal” installation method instead, i.e. as RPM in my case. I am not sure if there should be a difference. Theoretically speaking, there shouldn’t:

When I search via Setup > Services > Catalog of check plugins for “smart”,
my result looks like this:

The manpage exists, when I click on “HDD Health Statistics Using S.M.A.R.T”:

While I do not have experience with this kind of setup, perhaps you need to recheck your Checkmk installation under docker.

HTH,
Thomas

Can anyone reproduce this?
Otherwise, I have to agree with @openmindz, that there might be some specific error in this setup.
