SMART disks

This section describes the alerts for SMART disks.

Warning

SMART disks monitoring is available starting from the MCP 2019.2.3 update. For the existing MCP deployments, manually enable SMART disks monitoring as described in Enable SMART disk monitoring.

Warning

SMART disks alerts have been removed starting from the MCP 2019.2.9 update.

SystemSMARTDiskUDMACrcErrorsTooHigh

Available starting from the 2019.2.3 maintenance update

Severity Warning
Summary The {{ $labels.device }} disk on the {{ $labels.host }} node is reporting UDMA CRC errors for 5 minutes.
Raise condition increase(smart_device_udma_crc_errors[1m]) > 0
Description Raises when the SMART Telegraf input plugin (using smartmontools) detects the SMART UDMA CRC error messages on a host every minute for 5 minutes. The host and device labels in the raised alert contain the name of the affected node and the affected device.
Troubleshooting Inspect the disk SMART data using the smartctl command.
Tuning

For example, to change the threshold to 5 errors during 5 minutes:

  1. On the cluster level of the Reclass model, create a common file for all alert customizations. Skip this step to use an existing defined file.

    1. Create a file for alert customizations:

      touch cluster/<cluster_name>/stacklight/custom/alerts.yml

    2. Define the new file in cluster/<cluster_name>/stacklight/server.yml:

      classes:
- cluster.<cluster_name>.stacklight.custom.alerts
...

  2. In the defined alert customizations file, modify the alert threshold by overriding the if parameter:

    parameters:
  prometheus:
    server:
      alert:
        SystemSMARTDiskUDMACrcErrorsTooHigh:
          if: >-
            increase(smart_device_udma_crc_errors[5m]) > 5

  3. From the Salt Master node, apply the changes:

    salt 'I@prometheus:server' state.sls prometheus.server

  4. Verify the updated alert definition in the Prometheus web UI.
