Hey that’s great! I missed it totally since there doesn’t seem to be a link to this resource in the SMART GUI restoration request thread, it was not brought up in the second request thread either. A documentation link was not included with this podcast thread either.
Could you consider including links to documentation based on the content of various techtalks, if applicable? Especially if it’s a main topic of discussion… For example, if there is a Podcast whose main topic is the removal of the SMART GUI interface, it would be awesome to include a link to the documentation re: the SMART GUI removal.
Lastly, the documentation is full of useful information, though I suggest some further editing to clarify what the default intervals are that iXsystems has chosen, how the the user can check whether SMART tests have actually run, etc.
Team ixsystems is asking users to abandon a tried and true interface for a widely-used feature, I suggest they deserve more information re: how this new system is supposed to run and what issues (if any) to look for re: running SMART tests on a CRON job basis vs. whatever the default silent interval is.
