The mdstat plugin gathers statistics about any Linux MD RAID arrays configured on the host
by reading /proc/mdstat. For a full list of available fields see the
/proc/mdstat section of the proc man page.
For a better idea of what each field represents, see the
mdstat man page.
Stat collection based on Prometheus' mdstat collection library at https://github.com/prometheus/procfs/blob/master/mdstat.go
Configuration
# Get kernel statistics from /proc/mdstat
[[inputs.mdstat]]
## Sets file path
## If not specified, then default is /proc/mdstat
# file_name = "/proc/mdstat"
Measurements & Fields
- mdstat
- BlocksSynced (if the array is rebuilding/checking, this is the count of blocks that have been scanned)
- BlocksSyncedFinishTime (the expected finish time of the rebuild scan, listed in minutes remaining)
- BlocksSyncedPct (the percentage of the rebuild scan left)
- BlocksSyncedSpeed (the current speed the rebuild is running at, listed in K/sec)
- BlocksTotal (the total count of blocks in the array)
- DisksActive (the number of disks that are currently considered healthy in the array)
- DisksFailed (the current count of failed disks in the array)
- DisksSpare (the current count of "spare" disks in the array)
- DisksTotal (total count of disks in the array)
- mdstat
- ActivityState (
active
or inactive
)
- Devices (comma separated list of devices that make up the array)
- Name (name of the array)
