|
+## Overview
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+This collector monitors Samba syscalls and SMB2 calls. It relies on the [`smbstatus`](https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/current/man-html/smbstatus.1.html) CLI tool but avoids directly executing the binary. Instead, it utilizes `ndsudo`, a Netdata helper specifically designed to run privileged commands securely within the Netdata environment. This approach eliminates the need to use `sudo`, improving security and potentially simplifying permission management.
|
|
|
+Executed commands:
|
|
|
+- `smbstatus -P`
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+This collector is supported on all platforms.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+This collector only supports collecting metrics from a single instance of this integration.
|
|
|

|
|
|
+### Default Behavior
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+#### Auto-Detection
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+This integration doesn't support auto-detection.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+#### Limits
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The default configuration for this integration does not impose any limits on data collection.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+#### Performance Impact
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The default configuration for this integration is not expected to impose a significant performance impact on the system.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+## Metrics
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Metrics grouped by *scope*.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The scope defines the instance that the metric belongs to. An instance is uniquely identified by a set of labels.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### Per syscall
|
|
|

|
|
+## Setup
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### Prerequisites
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+#### Verifying and Enabling Profiling for SMBd
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+1. **Check for Profiling Support**
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Before enabling profiling, it's important to verify if `smbd` was compiled with profiling capabilities. Run the following command as root user (using `sudo`) to check:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ ```bash
|
|
|
+ $ sudo smbd --build-options | grep WITH_PROFILE
|
|
|
+ WITH_PROFILE
|
|
|
+ ```
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ If the command outputs `WITH_PROFILE`, profiling is supported. If not, you'll need to recompile `smbd` with profiling enabled (refer to Samba documentation for specific instructions).
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+2. **Enable Profiling**
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Once you've confirmed profiling support, you can enable it using one of the following methods:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - **Command-Line Option**
|
|
|
+ Start smbd with the `-P 1` option when invoking it directly from the command line.
|
|
|
+ - **Configuration File**
|
|
|
+ Modify the `smb.conf` configuration file located at `/etc/samba/smb.conf` (the path might vary slightly depending on your system). Add the following line to the `[global]` section:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ ```bash
|
|
|
+ smbd profiling level = count
|
|
|
+ ```
|
|
|
+3. **Restart the Samba service**
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### Configuration
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+#### File
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The configuration file name for this integration is `go.d/samba.conf`.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+You can edit the configuration file using the `edit-config` script from the
|
|
|
+Netdata [config directory](/docs/netdata-agent/configuration/README.md#the-netdata-config-directory).
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+```bash
|
|
|
+cd /etc/netdata 2>/dev/null || cd /opt/netdata/etc/netdata
|
|
|
+sudo ./edit-config go.d/samba.conf
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
+#### Options
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The following options can be defined globally: update_every.

|
|
+#### Examples
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+##### Custom update_every
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Allows you to override the default data collection interval.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<details open><summary>Config</summary>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+```yaml
|
|
|
+jobs:
|
|
|
+ - name: samba
|
|
|
+ update_every: 5 # Collect statistics every 5 seconds
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+```

|
|
+## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### Debug Mode
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+**Important**: Debug mode is not supported for data collection jobs created via the UI using the Dyncfg feature.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+To troubleshoot issues with the `samba` collector, run the `go.d.plugin` with the debug option enabled. The output
|
|
|
+should give you clues as to why the collector isn't working.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+- Navigate to the `plugins.d` directory, usually at `/usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/`. If that's not the case on
|
|
|
+ your system, open `netdata.conf` and look for the `plugins` setting under `[directories]`.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ ```bash
|
|
|
+ cd /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/
|
|
|
+ ```
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+- Switch to the `netdata` user.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ ```bash
|
|
|
+ sudo -u netdata -s
|
|
|
+ ```
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+- Run the `go.d.plugin` to debug the collector:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ ```bash
|
|
|
+ ./go.d.plugin -d -m samba
|
|
|
+ ```
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### Getting Logs
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+If you're encountering problems with the `samba` collector, follow these steps to retrieve logs and identify potential issues:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+- **Run the command** specific to your system (systemd, non-systemd, or Docker container).
|
|
|
+- **Examine the output** for any warnings or error messages that might indicate issues. These messages should provide clues about the root cause of the problem.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+#### System with systemd
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Use the following command to view logs generated since the last Netdata service restart:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+```bash
|
|
|
+journalctl _SYSTEMD_INVOCATION_ID="$(systemctl show --value --property=InvocationID netdata)" --namespace=netdata --grep samba
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+#### System without systemd
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Locate the collector log file, typically at `/var/log/netdata/collector.log`, and use `grep` to filter for collector's name:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+```bash
|
|
|
+grep samba /var/log/netdata/collector.log
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+**Note**: This method shows logs from all restarts. Focus on the **latest entries** for troubleshooting current issues.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+#### Docker Container
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+If your Netdata runs in a Docker container named "netdata" (replace if different), use this command:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+```bash
|
|
|
+docker logs netdata 2>&1 | grep samba
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+
