# Update telegraf.conf with current dev path mapping for Areca controller
#
# smartctl can poll underlying hard drives within an Areca RAID controller 
# the areca controller path changes randomly on boot, so this script
# needs to run once at boot to identify the current path
#
# It then updates the telegraf configuration with the current path so that
# telegraf monitors it correctly.
#
# Note that grafana panels may need to be updated with the current path 
# (but should be OK since they look for any occurrances of /dev/sg)
#
#
# Find the Areca 'RAID' controller amongst all scsi devices (hopefully the only one!)
