Hardware Statistics

[joeschmuck]

I would live to see a page that lists the following hard drive statistics (example):

Code:

| CPU Temp  | Fan 1 | Fan 2 | Fan 3| Fan 4 |
| CPU1: 40C |  800  |  2000 |  ON  |  N/A  |
| CPU2: 38C |

| Drive # |  Status  | Power On Hours | Spin Up Cycles | Temp | Spin Retry | Calibration Retry |
|   ada0  |   Run    |      2098      |      654       |  27C |     0      |         0         |
|   ada1  |   Run    |       512      |       14       |  26C |     0      |         0         |
|   ada2  |   Run    |      1876      |      634       |  27C |     0      |         0         |
|   ada3  |   Stop   |      2101      |      678       |  20C |     0      |         0         |
|   ada4  |   Stop   |      2100      |      598       |  21C |     0      |         0         |
|   ada5  |   Stop   |      1980      |      543       |  20C |     0      |         0         |

You could add any item which might help diagnose potential problems. This can of course be done manually via "smartctl -a -d auto /dev/ada1" but that means you have to do it manually vice having a nice single page to pop up and read all the data and compare the drives to each other. Adding in other sensors wouldn't be a bad idea either like CPU Temp, Fan Speeds, etc... Anything that could help diagnose a hardware problem. You could call the page "Hardware Status".

This does go a bit beyond some NAS systems but this feature would be fantastic for remote troubleshooting.

Many NAS systems already have hardware monitoring included. So I agree that FreeNAS should have it included as well

 

[PrincePaul]

I agree with you.

I would also like this feature in freenas
especially in self-built NAS Cases is that
very useful

+1 here too... I was just about to post that I could really be doing with some HDD temp graphs

Such a screen would be killer. I occasionally let my Asus E35M1-I boot to the "BIOS" just to monitor temps for a bit and see how they're doing, but that's a horrid solution. I likely wouldn't see anything when I actually need to see it. And of course it doesn't show anything under load. But it's something. Something built into FREENAS showing the information would be great, though I think what folks would really eventually want is notification and the option for gentle shutdown once adverse condition threshholds are reached.

Bumping to show interest in this.

+1 would love to see this

We really shouldn't be resurrecting a 1+ year old thread. A support ticket should be created if one doesn't already exist and this thread locked. If a ticket is opened it should be noted in this thread so anyone finding this thread can have a link to the ticket.
