+# samba
+
+Performance metrics of Samba file sharing.
+
+**Requirements:**
+* `smbstatus` program
+* `sudo` program
+* `smbd` must be compiled with profiling enabled
+* `smbd` must be started either with the `-P 1` option or inside `smb.conf` using `smbd profiling level`
+* `netdata` user needs to be able to sudo the `smbstatus` program without password
+
+It produces the following charts:
+
+1. **Syscall R/Ws** in kilobytes/s
+ * sendfile
+ * recvfle
+
+2. **Smb2 R/Ws** in kilobytes/s
+ * readout
+ * writein
+ * readin
+ * writeout
+
+3. **Smb2 Create/Close** in operations/s
+ * create
+ * close
+
+4. **Smb2 Info** in operations/s
+ * getinfo
+ * setinfo
+
+5. **Smb2 Find** in operations/s
+ * find
+
+6. **Smb2 Notify** in operations/s
+ * notify
+
+7. **Smb2 Lesser Ops** as counters
+ * tcon
+ * negprot
+ * tdis
+ * cancel
+ * logoff
+ * flush
+ * lock
+ * keepalive
+ * break
+ * sessetup
+
+### prerequisite
+This module uses `smbstatus` which can only be executed by root. It uses
+`sudo` and assumes that it is configured such that the `netdata` user can
+execute `smbstatus` as root without password.
+
+Add to `sudoers`:
+
+ netdata ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /path/to/smbstatus
+
+### configuration
+
+ **samba** is disabled by default. Should be explicitly enabled in `python.d.conf`.
+
+```yaml
+samba: yes
+```
