Scrutiny is a Hard Drive Health Dashboard & Monitoring solution, merging manufacturer provided S.M.A.R.T metrics with real-world failure rates.
smartd is a daemon that monitors the Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology (SMART) system built into many ATA, IDE and SCSI-3 hard drives. The purpose of SMART is to monitor the reliability of the hard drive and predict drive failures, and to carry out different types of drive self-tests.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Web UI Dashboard – focused on Critical metrics.
- smartd integration (no re-inventing the wheel).
- Auto-detection of all connected hard-drives.
- S.M.A.R.T metric tracking for historical trends.
- Customized thresholds using real world failure rates.
- Temperature tracking.
- Provided as an all-in-one Docker image (but can be installed manually).
- Configurable Alerting/Notifications via Webhooks.
