Add metrics that expose more information about MD RAID devices and
disks:
- the RAID level in use
- the RAID set that a disk belongs to
This allows for things like alert on unusually high I/O
utilisation for a disk compared to other disks in the same RAID set,
which usually means the disk is failing, and for comparing
write/read latency across RAID sets.
Output looks like:
node_md_disk_info{disk_device="/dev/dm-0", md_device="md1", md_set="A"} 1
node_md_disk_info{disk_device="/dev/dm-3", md_device="md1", md_set="B"} 1
node_md_disk_info{disk_device="/dev/dm-2", md_device="md1", md_set="A"} 1
node_md_disk_info{disk_device="/dev/dm-1", md_device="md1", md_set="B"} 1
node_md_disk_info{disk_device="/dev/dm-4", md_device="md1", md_set="A"} 1
node_md_disk_info{disk_device="/dev/dm-5", md_device="md1", md_set="B"} 1
node_md_info{md_device="md1", md_name="foo", raid_level="10", md_metadata_version="1.2"} 1
The `node_md_info` metric, which gives additional information about the
RAID array, is intentionally separate to avoid adding all of those
labels to each disk. If you need to query using the labels contained in
`node_md_info`, you can do that using PromQL:

I looked at adding the array UUID, but there's no sysfs entry for it and
I'm not sure there's a strong use case for it.
This patch to add a sysfs entry for the UUID was apparently not
accepted:

Add these metrics as a textfile script rather than adding them to the Go
'md' module as they're perhaps less commonly useful. If lots of people
find them useful, we can later rewrite this in Go.

Text collector example scripts
These scripts are examples to be used with the Node Exporter Textfile Collector.
To use these scripts, we recommend using a sponge to atomically write the output.
<collector_script> | sponge <output_file>
Sponge comes from moreutils
