Why TA-disk exists
Disk failure is the #1 cause of unplanned downtime, and nothing comparable exists on Splunkbase. TA-disk turns SMART and NVMe health counters into early warnings, so a drive is replaced before it dies.
What it collects
- SMART attributes incl. reallocated sectors and spin retries
- NVMe life_used, available_spare and media_errors
- Temperature history over time
Runs on stock tools
No daemons, no agents, no exotic collectors - it shells out to well-known CLIs or reads sysfs, and parses the result into Splunk events.
External tools used: smartmontools · nvme-cli - Plain sysfs works without both.
