Install Scrutiny ​

Scrutiny is a modern web UI S.M.A.R.T disk monitoring service that periodically monitor your unRAID drives array, including disk temperature.

An alternative would be DiskBenchmark. While it is very informative and even show the controller where the disk is attached to, it has older interface and does not support notification if a disk SMART status is problematic.

WARNING

As of July 2022, linuxserver deprecate supporting scrutiny container image as mentioned in https://forums.unraid.net/topic/97259-deprecated-linuxserverio-scrutiny/. To run the latest version, it is recommended to use docker-compose method instead.

Alternative ​

It is recommended to use DiskSpeed to get more details about the HDD hardware controller or benchmark diagnosis. Scrutiny is best used as monitoring tool.

Install as docker-compose Stack ​

Create a docker-compose stack and pass in the drives. The following is an example of me passing in 8 drives.

Web UI ​

Click on a disk and it will show its S.M.A.R.T report. By default it will only show critical S.M.A.R.T. attributes as highlighted in Yellow.

alt text

Click the Show all attributes text to show all the attributes instead.

You can also click the info icon next to each attribute and it would expand and explain it! Very neat feature.

Notification ​

Scrutiny support sending notification via webhook in case any drive failures is detected.

TODO

Troubleshooting ​

Not all drives shows up ​

Scrutiny might not show up all drives at first. If after 3 minutes and if those drives still doesn't showed up, login to the container console and run the following command. @ref: https://forums.unraid.net/topic/97259-deprecated-linuxserverio-scrutiny/
