Reporting

TrueNAS has a built-in reporting engine that provides helpful graphs and information about the system.

Reporting data is saved to permit viewing and monitoring usage trends over time. This data is preserved across system upgrades and restarts.

To increase TrueNAS reporting functionality connect it to our TrueCommand multi-system management software.

TrueCommand offers enhanced features for reporting like creating custom graphs and comparing utilization across multiple systems.
