#### Export smartctl statistics to Prometheus

This snap includes smartctl\_exporter to provide smartctl statistics via Prometheus.
Grafana dashboards can then be used to visualize the exported metrics, see for example:
<https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards/20204-smart-hdd/>

**How-To**

**How to install the snap:**

```
sudo snap install smartctl-exporter
```

The snap will start collecting smartctl statistics via default port `9633` on localhost.

**How to configure the service:**

The smartctl-exporter can be configured by setting the snap configuration options.
For example:

```
# Get all the configuration options
sudo snap get smartctl-exporter

# Set a different exporter bind-address
sudo snap set smartctl-exporter web.listen-address=:9664

# Restart the exporter service to apply the changes
sudo snap restart smartctl-exporter
```
