HDDtemp Input Plugin

This plugin reads data from hddtemp daemon.

Hddtemp should be installed and its daemon running.

OS Support & Alternatives

This plugin depends on the availability of the hddtemp binary. The upstream project is not active and Debian made the decision to remove it in Debian Bookworm. This means the rest of the Debian ecosystem no longer has this binary in later releases, like Ubuntu 22.04.

As an alternative consider using the smartctl plugin. This parses the full JSON output from smartctl, which includes temperature data, in addition to much more data about devices in a system.

Global configuration options

In addition to the plugin-specific configuration settings, plugins support additional global and plugin configuration settings. These settings are used to modify metrics, tags, and field or create aliases and configure ordering, etc. See the CONFIGURATION.md for more details.
