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.
Global configuration options
In addition to the plugin-specific configuration settings, plugins support
additional global and plugin configuration settings. These settings are used to
modify metrics, tags, and field or create aliases and configure ordering, etc.
See the CONFIGURATION.md for more details.
Configuration
# Get kernel statistics from /proc/mdstat
# This plugin ONLY supports Linux
[[inputs.mdstat]]
## Sets file path
## If not specified, then default is /proc/mdstat
# file_name = "/proc/mdstat"
Metrics
- 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)
