HDDtemp Input Plugin

This plugin reads data from a hddtemp daemon.

[!IMPORTANT] This plugin requires hddtemp to be installed and running as a daemon.

As the upstream project is not activly maintained anymore and various distributions (e.g. Debian Bookwork and later) don't ship packages for hddtemp anymore, the binary might not be available (e.g. in Ubuntu 22.04 or later).

[!TIP] As an alternative consider using the smartctl relying on SMART information or sensors plugins to retrieve temperature data of your hard-drive.
