+# megacli
+
+Module collects adapter, physical drives and battery stats.
+
+**Requirements:**
+ * `megacli` program
+ * `sudo` program
+ * `netdata` user needs to be able to be able to sudo the `megacli` program without password
+
+To grab stats it executes:
+ * `sudo -n megacli -LDPDInfo -aAll`
+ * `sudo -n megacli -AdpBbuCmd -a0`
+
+
+It produces:
+
+1. **Adapter State**
+
+2. **Physical Drives Media Errors**
+
+3. **Physical Drives Predictive Failures**
+
+4. **Battery Relative State of Charge**
+
+5. **Battery Cycle Count**
+
+### prerequisite
+This module uses `megacli` which can only be executed by root.  It uses
+`sudo` and assumes that it is configured such that the `netdata` user can
+execute `megacli` as root without password.
+
+Add to `sudoers`:
+
+    netdata ALL=(root)       NOPASSWD: /path/to/megacli
+
+### configuration
+
+**megacli** is disabled by default. Should be explicitly enabled in `python.d.conf`.
+```yaml
+megacli: yes
+```
+
+Battery stats disabled by default. To enable them modify `megacli.conf`.
+```yaml
+do_battery: yes
+```
