Possibility to change Drive monitoring

[jeremieLyvoc]

Hi,

I'd like to know if it was possible to change the Hard Drive monitored ?

I'm not very interested to monitor my system Drive.

Thanks !

I'm looking into this too, apparently its only C drive,

While you could manually alter the files provided by the project to do this, you'd then need to remember to remake the alteration each time you pull down a version update. And that's assuming you only want to keep eyes on a single storage device.

A theme I've been working on is reporting back on all storage devices by way of the sensors_custom.py file, where you can roll your own metric pulls. Here's an example snippet of what I've got in place currently:

It's not uniform for all devices just yet and work is at a standstill for now (see #551).

The wiki can get you started on how to begin using sensors_custom. This method doesn't require or care about a specific Hardware Monitoring setting and you can use whatever tools local to the system that you enjoy using to ingest whatever it is you need. After crafting a class in sensors_custom, add its name in the dedicated CUSTOM: stanza of your theme's YAML with whatever options for drawing to screen (text output, line graphs, radials, etc.) that make sense.
