Hello everyone,
My latest post here helped me to link drives with smartctl & megacli status and read the correct stats from the smart plugin. That part is solved now, but a new problem appeared with the next server.
Some of my controllers are just HBA’s and not RAID controllers. These controllers are quite dumb and just send the disk data towards the motherboard/OS so I can read their S.M.A.R.T. status without any issue.

To me everything looks great so far. Let’s now try and run the smart plugin that needs to send the actual smart data towards CheckMK.

As you can see above the only three devices found by the smart plugin is my two boot SSD’s who are directly connected to my motherboard and one random disk through the HBA, disk /dev/sdp.
This results in only one temperature measurement in CheckMK. Can anyone support me on next steps? Looking to add the missing and smart capable 35 disks to CheckMK. I have already tried the following:
Installing smartctl
Installing ipmitool (maybe this showed disk temps too, but no)
Installing megaraid drivers
Installed a new LSI HBA (same results)
Please let me know if there is more data needed. Thanks for your help in advance!
