So just for giggles I set up a graphite container and pointed Scale at it. I am doing this because I spotted an issue with the way that Scale was reporting disk temperatures - which were up to 5 degrees different from what smart was reporting (5 degrees higher). But I need to confirm that as the results were not consistent
It turns out that netdata - which is the data that the exporter exports doesn’t include disk temperature - so the disktemp section of graphite contains no actual data. It does contain the disk serial numbers, but no actual data as the graph is empty. Things like cputemp have data, but not disk temp - which is a shame.
It would make sense as netdata itself does not report disk temperature
The only disktemp I can find is under smart_log_smart/disktemp/[serial number] - but there is no data
