Smartctl Plugin in XO 5.92 and XCP-NG 8.2

Ascar

Hello, everyone. Please clear my doubt. I am on XCP-NG 8.2 fully patched and I also updated XO to 5.92.
Following the announcement of features in XO 5.87 and I was hoping to see the health of local hard drives and SSDs. The option is present in the Advanced tab of the Hosts page, however it is grayed out. Small message says "Smartctl plugin not installed".

I checked the Plugins page and smartctl is nowhere there.
Simple question - as long as I am not on XCP-NG 8.3 am I not supposed to have the disk drive monitoring available in the WebUI of XO?

Thank you in advance

@Tristis-Oris Alright, so 8.3 is pre-requisite. Thanks for confirming.

Might be worth installing netdata plugins into your hosts.

Installing Netdata manually
...Just run yum install netdata-ui on each host you want to monitor and that's it. You can just go on http://host_address:19999 and view the different metrics.

If you want a centralized netdata and stream everything to a "central" host, feel free to read Netdata documentation on how to do so!
