# Adaptec RAID controller monitoring with Netdata

Collects logical and physical devices metrics.

## Requirements

The module uses `arcconf`, which can only be executed by root.  It uses
`sudo` and assumes that it is configured such that the `netdata` user can
execute `arcconf` as root without password.

Add to `sudoers`:

```
netdata ALL=(root)       NOPASSWD: /path/to/arcconf
```

To grab stats it executes:

-   `sudo -n arcconf GETCONFIG 1 LD`
-   `sudo -n arcconf GETCONFIG 1 PD`

It produces:

1.  **Logical Device Status**

2.  **Physical Device State**

3.  **Physical Device S.M.A.R.T warnings**

4.  **Physical Device Temperature**

## Configuration

**adaptec_raid** is disabled by default. Should be explicitly enabled in `python.d.conf`.

```yaml
adaptec_raid: yes
```

Edit the `python.d/adaptec_raid.conf` configuration file using `edit-config` from the your agent's [config
directory](/docs/step-by-step/step-04.md#find-your-netdataconf-file), which is typically at `/etc/netdata`.

```bash
cd /etc/netdata   # Replace this path with your Netdata config directory, if different
sudo ./edit-config python.d/adaptec_raid.conf
```
