Advanced settings have reasonable defaults in place. A warning message displays for some settings advising of the dangers of making changes. Changing advanced settings can be dangerous when done incorrectly. Use caution before saving changes.
Make sure you are comfortable with ZFS, Linux, and system configuration, backup, and restoration before making any changes.
The Advanced settings screen provides configuration options for the console, syslog, audit, kernel, sysctl, storage (system dataset pool), replication, WebSocket sessions, cron jobs, init/shutdown scripts, allowed IP addresses, isolated GPU device(s), self-encrypting drives, and global two-factor authentication.
System > Advanced contains advanced options for configuring system settings.
These options have reasonable defaults in place. Make sure you are comfortable with ZFS, FreeBSD, and system configuration backup and restoration before making any changes. Console

Go to System Settings > Boot screen and click Stats/Settings. The Stats/Settings window displays statistics for the operating system device: Boot pool Condition as ONLINE or OFFLINE, Size in GiB and the space in use in Used, and Last Scrub Run with the date and time of the scrub.
The Init/Shutdown Scripts widget on the System > Advanced screen allows you to add scripts to run before or after initialization (start-up), or at shutdown. For example, creating a script to backup your system or run a systemd command before exiting and shutting down the system.
Init/shutdown scripts are capable of making OS-level changes and can be dangerous when done incorrectly. Use caution before creating script or command tasks.
Make sure you are comfortable with ZFS, Linux, and system configuration, backup, and restoration before creating and executing script tasks.

The SCALE CLI guide is a work in progress! New namespace and command documentation is continually added and maintained, so check back here often to see what is new! General Namespace The general namespace has 14 commands, and is based on general settings functions found in the SCALE API and web UI. It provides access to GUI and localization configuration settings through the general namespace commands.
General Commands The following general namespace commands allow you to configure time zone, language, HTTP protocol, UI address, and system certificate options.
Systems with more than one graphics processing unit (GPU) installed can isolate additional GPU device(s) from the host operating system (OS) and allocate them for use by a virtual machine (VM). Isolated GPU devices are unavailable to the OS and for allocation to applications.
