# Introduction
|
|
|
|
If you run a server with more than a couple of hard drives, you're probably already familiar with S.M.A.R.T and the `smartd` daemon. If not, it's an incredible open source project described as the following:
|
|
|
|
> 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.
|
|
|
|
Theses S.M.A.R.T hard drive self-tests can help you detect and replace failing hard drives before they cause permanent data loss. However, there's a couple issues with `smartd`:
|
|
|
|
- There are more than a hundred S.M.A.R.T attributes, however `smartd` does not differentiate between critical and informational metrics
|
|
- `smartd` does not record S.M.A.R.T attribute history, so it can be hard to determine if an attribute is degrading slowly over time.
|
|
- S.M.A.R.T attribute thresholds are set by the manufacturer. In some cases these thresholds are unset, or are so high that they can only be used to confirm a failed drive, rather than detecting a drive about to fail.
|
|
- `smartd` is a command line only tool. For head-less servers a web UI would be more valuable.
|
|
|
|
**Scrutiny is a Hard Drive Health Dashboard & Monitoring solution, merging manufacturer provided S.M.A.R.T metrics with real-world failure rates.**
|
|

# Features
|
|
|
|
Scrutiny is a simple but focused application, with a couple of core 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)
|
|
- (Future) Configurable Alerting/Notifications via Webhooks
|
|
- (Future) Hard Drive performance testing & tracking

# Getting Started
|
|
|
|
## Docker
|
|
|
|
> Until our Sponsor goal is reached, we are unable to use Docker Hub. In the meantime, Scrutiny Docker Image(s) will be
|
|
attached to the latest [Scrutiny Github Release](https://github.com/AnalogJHQ/scrutiny/releases)
|
|
|
|
Download the `docker-analogj-scrutiny-v0.1.0.tar` file, and load it into your Docker daemon:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker load < docker-analogj-scrutiny-v0.1.0.tar
|
|
docker images | grep analogj/scrutiny
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you're using Docker, getting started is as simple as running the following command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
docker run -it --rm -p 8080:8080 \
|
|
-v /run/udev:/run/udev:ro \
|
|
-v /dev/disk:/dev/disk \
|
|
--name scrutiny \
|
|
--privileged analogj/scrutiny
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- `/run/udev` and `/dev/disk` are necessary to provide the Scrutiny collector with access to your drive metadata.
|
|
- `--privileged` is required to ensure that your hard disk devices are accessible within the container (this will be changed in a future release)
|
|
- `analogj/scrutiny` is a omnibus image, containing both the webapp server (frontend & api) as well as the S.M.A.R.T metric collector. (dedicated images will be available in a future release)
|
|
- If you do not have access to the `analogj/scrutiny` docker image, please contact me using the email address in my profile: [@analogj](https://github.com/AnalogJ/) Please include your Github username and when you sponsored me. (eventually both images and source code will be open sourced)
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Once scrutiny is running, you can open your browser to `http://localhost:8080` and take a look at the dashboard.
|
|
|
|
Initially it will be empty, however after the first collector run, you'll be greeted with a list of all your hard drives and their current smart status.
|
|
|
|
The collector is configured to run once a day, but you can trigger it manually by running the following command
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
docker exec scrutiny /scrutiny/bin/scrutiny-collector-metrics run
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# Configuration
|
|
We support a global YAML configuration file that must be located at /scrutiny/config/scrutiny.yaml
|
|
|
|
Check the [example.scrutiny.yml](example.scrutiny.yaml) file for a fully commented version.
