Scrutiny
Scrutiny is a hard drive health dashboard and monitoring solution that combines S.M.A.R.T. metrics with real-world failure rates for proactive drive failure detection.
Description
Scrutiny is a web-based application designed for monitoring the health of hard drives using S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) data. It integrates with the smartd daemon, automatically detects connected hard drives, tracks S.M.A.R.T. metrics over time, and provides customized thresholds based on real-world failure rates. Scrutiny offers a user-friendly web UI dashboard focusing on critical metrics, temperature tracking, and configurable alerting via webhooks. It's available as an all-in-one Docker image or through manual installation and supports various notification methods.
Features
Scrutiny's core features include a web UI dashboard, seamless smartd integration, automatic hard drive detection, historical S.M.A.R.T. metric tracking, customized thresholds using real-world failure data, temperature monitoring, availability as an all-in-one Docker image, configurable alerting/notifications via webhooks, and planned support for hard drive performance testing. It supports various operating systems and architectures, offering both Hub/Spoke and Omnibus deployment options.
Benefits
Scrutiny helps prevent data loss by proactively identifying failing hard drives. Its intuitive dashboard provides a clear overview of hard drive health, simplifying monitoring for users of any technical skill level. The use of real-world failure thresholds improves accuracy in detecting potential problems compared to relying solely on manufacturer-provided thresholds. Automated alerts ensure timely intervention, reducing downtime and minimizing data loss risks. Its Docker image support allows quick and easy deployment, while manual installation provides flexibility for various environments.
