Including other counters from smart plugin

Troubleshooting

Congratulations! :clap: :slight_smile:

What you need is a metric plugin or an extension to the existing metric plugin.

Add the following code in the new file ~/local/share/check_mk/web/plugins/metrics/smart.py:

# define a new metric:
metric_info["harddrive_helium_level"] = {
    "title": _("Helium Level"),
    "unit": "count",
    "color": "24/a",
}

# map the performance counter 'Helium_Level' to the new metric:
check_metrics["check_mk-smart.stats"].update({
    "Helium_Level": {
        "name": "harddrive_helium_level"
    },
})

This usually requires a cmk -R. Occasionally the graph is shown twice because checkmk caches some things. If that is the case, try omd restart.

The original metric definition can be found in ~/lib/python/cmk/gui/plugins/metrics/check_mk.py. See there for more examples. Search for check_mk-smart.stats.
