[Logcheck-devel] Bug#355085: logcheck-database: Ignore smartd temperature messages within tolerances, please
Package: logcheck-database Version: 1.2.43a Severity: wishlist -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I recently installed smartmontools and am using smartd to monitor the S.M.A.R.T. status of my hard drives. I really like it, but I don't need to know every time the temperature changes one degree on one of the drives. I realize that one could probably configure smartd to not monitor the hard drive temperature, however if it got really hot, one would probably like to know. (Also, configuring smartd is a little cryptic, so if logcheck could smartly (no pun intended) ignore little things like this out-of-the-box, it'd be nice.) Here is a sample (I think the "194" is the code for temperature messages, like "200 OK" in HTTP): smartd: Device: /dev/hda, SMART Usage Attribute: 194 Temperature_Celsius changed from 29 to 27 According to <http://www.seagate.com/support/kb/disc/faq/temperature.html>, the maximum temperature for a newer Seagate drive is 60 degrees C, and the normal operating range is 5-50 degrees C. Therefore, I recommend that logcheck ignore the temperature changes unless they exceed that range. :) Thanks for a great package. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFEB9sw5+GdyTDsrJsRAi7XAJ9cdkC1V+AB2NY+2V7rKdnMdNgjGwCgo74m fCCDURZxeke0p12uwKn8Mc8=BpQB -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
