What if SMART is not supported?

[Djey]

For advanced users, I've initiated a Github wiki to set up monitoring services with pi-control project.

Please note everything is still a Work In Progress.

 

Thanks for your feedback !

I'm intersted in this topic, having no SMART data on ESXi hosts feels like being blind =)

I'm not sure you've seen that one, but just in cace. Basically, yes, the values are vendor specific, so a possible tool would need to know how to interpret it per vendor (maybe even model) basis.

Hi,

 

I already know this page, but thanks for the link anyway ! And hopefully Vmware documentation is pretty clear on the Internet

Yeah, manufacturer or device specific interpretation would be a solution, but I don't like writing specific code - or would I have to modularize ?!

 

Btw, immediate step is to translate raw SMART values to usable ones and OK/KO indicators. I will take this fact into account.

2 questions please

 

Is there any way to disable error message in xpenology saying there's a problem with the temperature ?

 

To install pi-control on a raspberry pi, should it be clean installed ? I mean, I've already have a pi with openelec/xbmc, can I perform the install without problem ? and with future updates (openelec for example) will it still be ok ?

 

thanks

Sorry for late reply, I did not get notifications about it

I wasn't able to suppress them. Anyone ?

Pi-Control is a lightweight script-based application, which does not rely on system libraries directly. You don't need to format your system to install it.

As long as your updates don't break ruby script engine and SSH client it will be ok. At mine, I'm used to fetching git repository to /home/.../git/pi-control, and then I copy all files onto /media/.../pi-control (sdcard partition) to run them afterwards.

For those interested in project, still:

I've almost finished with a stable version of smartX webapp.

https://github.com/djey47/smartX

 

Release 1 will be available soon, in the meantime it can be installed manually by following instructions in README.md

 

Here are screens of what can be achieved with ESXI smart data fetched by pi-control module:

Awesome, I'll be testing it once v.1 is available.

Important Update : for your information, I just released following apps:

 

• pi-control : a ruby app which exposes REST services to manage ESXi server and get SMART data : https://github.com/djey47/pi-control
  
• smartX : a webapp displaying disks and SMART information : https://github.com/djey47/smartX

 

pi-control is required to get SMART data, you only need to install smartX to easily watch storage state.

Feedback is welcome

somebody checked phpsysinfo with plugin debian chroot(+apache)?

There really has not been a good solution to this problem.  However, here is a method to suppress spurious SMART syslog messages.
