# Sample configuration file for smartd. See man smartd.conf. # Home page is: https://www.smartmontools.org # smartd will re-read the configuration file if it receives a HUP # signal # The file gives a list of devices to monitor using smartd, with one # device per line. Text after a hash (#) is ignored, and you may use # spaces and tabs for white space. You may use '\' to continue lines. # The word DEVICESCAN will cause any remaining lines in this # configuration file to be ignored: it tells smartd to scan for all # ATA and SCSI devices. DEVICESCAN may be followed by any of the # Directives listed below, which will be applied to all devices that # are found. Most users should comment out DEVICESCAN and explicitly # list the devices that they wish to monitor. DEVICESCAN # Alternative setting to ignore temperature and power-on hours reports # in syslog. #DEVICESCAN -I 194 -I 231 -I 9 # Alternative setting to report more useful raw temperature in syslog. #DEVICESCAN -R 194 -R 231 -I 9 # Alternative setting to report raw temperature changes >= 5 Celsius # and min/max temperatures. #DEVICESCAN -I 194 -I 231 -I 9 -W 5 # First ATA/SATA or SCSI/SAS disk.
