Monitor the hdd space of a usb disk attached on a raspberry pi in the same local network of HA

[Tuxforce]

I have a raspberry pi 3b+ with Hassio 0.99.0 and I would like to monitor the space of an usb hdd mounted on another raspberry pi in the same local network. This other raspberry pi has Raspbian as OS.

Do you know a simple way to do that? I saw the ‘glances’ component though to my understanding it could only monitor the space of the entire raspberry pi while I am only interested to an hdd mounted on it.

You could use this custom component:

Remote RPI system monitor

Hi, I know there are already several topics about this but thought someone maybe find my approach interesting. I’ve created a simple python script that runs every 60 seconds and sends several system data over MQTT. It uses the MQTT Discovery for Home Assistant so you don’t need to configure anything in Home Assistant if you have discovery enabled for MQTT Here’s the repo system_sensors Currently you need to manualy install the following python3 libraries: psutil paho.mqtt pytz Here’s how…

You would have to alter this sensor in the source file:

def get_disk_usage():
    return str(psutil.disk_usage('/').percent)

This is a fairly industry standard way to do it. Look at SNMP, standard MIBs for diskspace on any Linux host. Basically if you install and run the SNMP daemon on RPI it will report it’s disk space automatically.

Then use this to fetch the correct OID for the disk you want.
