After a while of using smartmontools, I have a big desire to incorporate native bindings into some higher-level languages like JavaScript (NodeJS) and Python.

This is very hard to do with smartmontools in its current state, because all of the code is compiled into two binaries, if I'm not mistaken. "smartctl" and "smartd".

I would love to see (and help) this project organize code and make files in such a way that developers are able to access the "device_interface" class in code. Particularly "smi()" so we can deal with native "smart_device" objects directly in code, instead of only being able to parse output of "smartctl". A library binary with a header file in the include path.

I've done some digging in the code, and believe this can be easily done, since "smi()" is a shared piece of code between both smartd and smartctl. I do not have lots of experience with C++ and make files for large projects, but I imagine this could be as simple as compiling a static library for the "device_interface" on that machine, and then including that static library in "smartd" and "smartctl" binaries. I would add that this code should also be wrapped in a namespace, should you proceed to create a library out of it.

I would assume that you do not have lots of time to implement this, so I would love to offer help in any way, but I will reiterate that I am not super experienced with large project makefiles, automake, or c++ compilers. I am totally willing to learn. I do however understand the language itself relatively well, and do not have a big problem understanding an overview of the code structure.

What are your thoughts?

I've set a milestone I think is feasible, but please change it to how you see fit. Thank you for your time.

I was referred to you by Synology. We have 5 new Seagate IronWolf Pro 125 SSD NAS drives. They have a critical error because of an issue Unknown Attribute failure. Are you able to resolve this issue by adding the attributes to your DB? My understanding is that Synology pulls that data.

#246 Unkown_Attribute failed. Error in this S.M.A.R.T attribute usually indicates that severe electronic or physical damages have occurred to the drive, and that the error cannot be suppressed manually. We highly recommend backing up your data and replacing the drive immediately.

This is a smartctl -x dump from a 14tb Western Digital drive.

A previous ticket was a dump from the bare drive, as connected via motherboard SATA.

I don't know if they're different or not, but figured your database folks would be able to tell.
