add NVMe support, and give the self-test collector the device listHEADmasterflake-modules
Two configurations the modules claimed to support and did not.
NVMe drives had no per-drive section. smartctl:bus routes a drive by metric
presence -- ATA attribute table, or SCSI grown defect list -- and NVMe emits
neither, confirmed against a live smartctl_exporter 0.14.0 on real hardware.
With no bus label the smartctl:row join dropped them, so they appeared in Fleet
Overview and All Drives but could not be opened. Adds an nvme arm keyed on
smartctl_device_percentage_used, verdict rules over the SMART/Health
Information log, and a third repeating section.
The verdict is BAD on a critical warning, media errors, or available spare
below the drive's own threshold, and CAUTION at 90% of rated endurance.
num_err_log_entries is deliberately not in it: the NVMe drive in this machine
is healthy and sits at 2200, because it counts every command that ever
returned an error.
smart.devices reached the exporter but not the self-test collector, which
always ran its own `smartctl --scan` -- exactly what cannot see drives behind a
RAID controller, which is the only reason to set the option. The collector now
takes the same PATH[;TYPE] syntax and passes -d through.
That means it also has to reproduce the exporter's device label, which is not
the basename: /dev/bus/0 as megaraid,1 is bus_0_megaraid_1. Ported
buildDeviceLabel with its /dev/disk/by-{id,path}/ prefix stripping and the
comma rule, and the scan-time scsi -> auto fallback. Getting this wrong fails
silently -- every join in rules/smartctl.yml simply misses.
Verified: promtool; a Prometheus fixture covering all three transports plus a
megaraid-labelled device, asserting bus and verdict per drive and resolving
$ata_device/$sas_device/$nvme_device the way Grafana does; the grid layout;
the ExecStart with and without smart.devices; and the collector against this
machine's NVMe drive.
