Scrutiny Alternative?

Apps and Virtualization

Now the Scrutiny is no longer in development, is there other app to follow the smart status and age of the drives?

There’s Multi-report, a script that can schedule SMART tests for you and email you regular reports.

You can also continue to use Scrutiny if you like how it’s currently working for you, it’s not automatically broken because development has slowed.

The author has publicly stated in 2023 that he considers it feature-complete from his point of view but will continue to accept fixes and feature merge request.

So I really do not see much of a problem here.

Feel free to fork it any time :wink:

Actually there are a handful of candidates who might take over the project. See the linked issue above.

Multi report is slick. Fairly well documented. Easy to setup and run, very easy to update. It does nightly cleanup and reporting for you, and gives you plenty data to chew on every morning. Fantastic tool.

I’ll check into that, thanks.

Well he certainly has an interesting definition of “feature complete” then, considering that the report buttons don’t work and just tell you the function is not yet implemented…

His prerogative :man_shrugging:

Scrutity has been forked and the new repo is actively maintained including new features like monitoring of ZFS pools in addition to SMART data.

Since the new repo is a plug in replacement for the old project, you can for example:

  • convert your installed app to a custom app (YAML) via the UI
  • change the image name
  • redeploy

Worked out of the box. Since I wanted to also play with the new ZFS feature I then copied the YAML, deleted the custom app, and redeployed everything in Dockge.

This is the result - you need to adapt the paths for the config and InfluxDB volumes to match your dataset topology and possibly the time zone.

To elaborate:

  • convert your installed app to a custom app (YAML) via the UI
  • change the image name from ghcr.io/analogj/scrutiny to ghcr.io/starosdev/scrutiny
  • redeploy

Or use Dockge or Portainer as preferred.
