Is there a collectd plugin that will display the drive's make?

The reason I ask is, that I am trying to create a Grafana dashboard, and I need to set Western Digital drives with certain upper thresholds, and Segate drives with other thresholds (using templates).

Unfortunately, when I look into influxdb I'm not seeing anything that I can use to differentiate a Western Digital drive from a Segate drive; not a model number or anything else; they simply show up as sda, sdb, sdc, etc.

It is possible I am wrong, but I'm pretty sure that collectd's entire reason for existence is to fire ${string} = ${number} pairs into whatever data collector you need. What you're asking for is ${string} = ${string} pairs, which it's not designed to do. You're going to have to use a non-collectd method to grab those values and feed them into something Grafana can query.
