## Smartctl parser
154154

155-
A xapi plugin to get information and health of physical disks on the host
155+
This XAPI plugin provides information and health details for the physical disks on the host.
156+
157+
It uses the `smartctl --scan` command to retrieve the list of devices. For devices managed by
158+
MegaRAID, the device names may be identical. To handle this, the plugin returns information
159+
for each unique "name:type" pair.
160+
161+
The plugin parses the JSON output from the `smartctl` command to gather information and health
162+
data. As a result, it requires a version of `smartctl` capable of producing JSON output.
163+
This functionality is available in **XCP-ng 8.3**, but not in **XCP-ng 8.2**.
164+

### `information`:
166+
167+
This function returns information about all detected devices. The JSON can be quite big.
