+# HP Smart Storage Arrays monitoring with Netdata
-This module collects controller, logical, and physical device health metrics from HP Smart Storage Arrays.
+Monitors controller, cache module, logical and physical drive state and temperature using `ssacli` tool.
## Requirements:
-- `ssacli` program
-- `sudo` program
-- `netdata` user needs to be able to sudo the `ssacli` program without password
+This module uses `ssacli`, which can only be executed by root. It uses
+`sudo` and assumes that it is configured such that the `netdata` user can
+execute `ssacli` as root without password.
+
+Add to `sudoers`:
+
+```
+netdata ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /path/to/ssacli
+```
To collect metrics, the module executes: `sudo -n ssacli ctrl all show config detail`
