The TrueCommand Dashboard provides an overview of each connected TrueNAS system in system widgets (information cards).
The top banner includes two sort options, one to filter the view to show All or Ungrouped systems and the other to sort either by Name or Order. The default view shows all widgets for all NAS systems added to and managed by TrueCommand. Use the Find field to search for a system by name.
TrueCommand alerts provide visual warnings for monitored systems that require attention. Monitored TrueNAS systems and TrueCommand alert rules can both generate alerts.
TrueCommand can discover and show TrueNAS system alerts created created in the last two months. Alerts older than this do not show in TrueCommand.
Administrator accounts can see all system alerts but non-administrator accounts can only see alerts on systems they are permitted to access.
TrueCommand provides three alert screen options:
Alert Namespace The alert namespace has seven commands and is based on alert functions found in the SCALE API and web UI. It provides access to alert management methods through the alert commands.
Alert Commands The following alert commands allow you to view and manage alerts and policies.
You can enter commands from the main CLI prompt or from the alert namespace prompt.
The SCALE CLI guide is a work in progress!
In addition to the main TrueCommand Dashboard that shows individual system widgets (information cards) with performance information for each system managed by TrueCommand, release 3.0 introduces a new Fleet Dashboard with new function widgets.
The Fleet Dashboard provides an overview of system information organized into six widgets:
Systems - Lists each system managed by TrueCommand. Alerts - Lists alerts detected on systems managed by TrueCommand. Pools - Lists all pools detected on systems managed by TrueCommand.
The Alert Notifications panel displays system alerts. It provides options to dismiss or reopen dismissed alerts on your TrueNAS.
