API for external control

[lester]

I currently use my freenas box entirely for backups via rsync. I would like to integrate configuration, monitoring and control of freenas into my existing network.

Is there an existing API for this, where I can get disk status, performance, shutdown the server, etc?

The "API" is called cronjobs and emails. That's about the best you are going to get.

BTW) You can get most of those features when you connect via IPMI using a PC/mobile app,
If you motherboard supports it ofcourse.

Because it's a freebsd system you can use whatever monitoring tool you run for other bsd systems. I am using nagios and munin for example but any other stuff that will compile can be used.
Also be prepared to do some hacking ...
