S.M.A.R.T. status

This gem extracts and processes info about HDD health status (S.M.A.R.T.)

Requirements

• You need to have smartctl to be installed
• You need to be able to run it with passwordless sudo (use NOPASSWD in sudoers)

Usage

require 'smart_status'
require 'pp'

processor = SMARTStatus::Parser.new("/dev/sda1")

while true do
  pp processor.process
  sleep 1
end

Experimental status

The code is in experimental state yet and should not be used for production. Use at your own risk

Classname for SMARTStatus::Parser is expected to be changed (suggestions are welcome).

Contributing

Pull requests are welcome.

TODOs for later times

• Add possibility to run smartctl without sudo (you'll need to tweak user groups and block device permissions in this case instead of editing sudoers)
• Nice format output for SMARTStatus::Attribute#inspect and SMARTStatus::Attribute#to_s
