@BinHex v2.99 is reported on forums as broken with a new v3.00 out. Is there a plan to update the docker? Thanks V

Is there a how to for getting email alerts in zoneminder on unraid working? I can't see any reference to ssmtp in the appdata folder to enter any config. V Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I had similar issues a few months ago with finding a local server. It was when I was messing about with different plug in and docker containers, testing the initial setup, then recreating the server in a different docker. Not sure what the cause was, but it seemed to sort itself out. My impression was that plex doesn't like recreating the same server with same name, owner and ip address. It's like it gets confused. I think internally it has a unique id and when there's two instances of the server with same name and ip address but different unique id it just fails to find it. At times I could find it over wan, but not over lan. Also some pc's found it, eg hard wired into same router, whilst Wi-Fi didn't. It was very strange. It just fixed itself without any intervention from me. I did the management from the interfaces that could see it ie wan or the hard wired PC. Now it's behaved for ages. I assumed that plex forgets servers it hasn't seen for a while and thus sorted out its internal confusion. I'm just guessing. There are plex logs to be looked through, but they didn't add anything to help me at the time. YMMV. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

OK. I've started a thread in the user customisations board. https://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=52220.0 Any corrections or suggestions for improvement is very welcome!

No worries guys. I'll do a how to guide soon. I'll tidy the scripts up over the weekend and post something. Possibly in a new thread. I have absolutely no idea about github, I'm not a developer or programmer and the last time I wrote anything resembling a program or script was in the 80s in BASIC! So I probably can't vouch whether the scripts are safe to run or not, nor can I probably support users where the scripts might not work. But, happy to post them as a starting point and others more capable can refine them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi, I figured I wasn't clever enough to get the docker to do temperatures and wasn't really sure if it was possible to do it from the docker anyway, so I decided to write my very first PHP script! I managed to get sensible outputs for 'HD Temp' parsing the output of 'smartctl' for each of my disks, and luckily they still sense temperature without spinning up and when spun down. I used 'apcaccess' for UPS data so I can get the load on my UPS in watts (I have cable modem and router on the UPS as well as the server). I used 'hdparm' for spin status. And I used ipmi-sensors for fan speed and MB/CPU temp. Sending the data to influxdb via curl is quite straightforward. I use crontab to invoke the scripts which reside in my appdata folder. I have no idea if this is a sensible way of doing it and the scripts are very rough, but seems to work!

Maybe PLEX does not like the nginx reverse proxy. I have it I the back of my mind that it exposes another port or two also except for the webui one. Maybe I'm dreaming it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi. Still working good here. Had a go at some basic dashboards but still learning. Can't see any metrics for temperature though. Both netdata and munin get the CPU temp ok via volume mapping. I presume need to add a plugin into the docker telegraf config folder? Or is it something basic in my setup? Missing lm sensors or something. I would also love to have hddtemp in the metrics too. Is that the same problem, need plugin? I can really see the potential of the telegraf/influxdb/grafana method though. Configurable to the nth degree! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Netdata docker is amazing. Simple to install and monitor in webpage. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ah! Makes sense now. Yes smartctl measures my precleared hot spare on unassigned devices as 31. The value does not feature in the ui at all! Thanks for the info. Was getting confused by the readings. I guess my hot spare is the hottest drive in my case! Thanks again for very useful plug in. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Last hour in the log is between 32 and 33 for HDD temp, but the readings pane has steadily deduced from 30 to 26 degrees. Incidentally, the temp polling time drop down doesn't do anything. I can't select it to change anything. Stuck at 3 min. It's just keeping the hd fan spinning higher than ideal when most drives except cache are spun down. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Noted something weird. The fan control log shows a different hd temp to the readings tab and the footer value. E.g. Currently the readings tab has shown a HDD temp of 30 for the last 10 min or so, but the fan control log has varied between 32 and 33. Have spun up all drives too to make sure the data is refreshed. Any thoughts on the difference? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Using both turnkey and docker versions of observium, I'm not getting the hard drive temps and share free metrics to show. I guess it's not seeing the mib? Any tips? Or another dashboard to try? Working great otherwise, although maybe the CPU and mb temps are the wrong way round? Mb temp follows the core temps more than CPU temp! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Doh. Finally found it at root rather than where I expected it in the script folder. All ok now. Is it worth setting the current directory to a set output directory since many scripts will send output to the current folder? I looked in /tmp/ initially but eventually found it in the root folder. I didn't think of looking there first. Silly me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ran the diskspeed script in here, but the html output didn't appear. Am I doing something wrong? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I looked at the fan script again and if you set low to auto it is like setting it to 0°C. I have default values of 30 for low and 40 for high. But as the script is written those are only used if a value doesn't exist. But 0 is a value with isset so I'll have to fix that. So if you have low set to auto your linear scale is 0°C to 40°C or whatever your high is set to. And your fans will work off this scale. So that's why they are at 500 rpms. The fan speed minimum is for keeping your fans from stopping not for setting a point that they stop. The range is from 1 to 64 because that is what the ipmi raw range is. 0 = smartfan. If you wanted to keep your fans from stopping or keep them at a minimum speed you would increase the value from 1 till you get the rpm you desire. Thank you. Makes sense.

Setting low to auto for me makes the fan spin up. I think it's because the CPU temp is high-ish (40), so when the hd is below the high threshold it operates in auto mode and tracks the CPU temp. Incidentally my fans do not switch off, they idle at 500rpm with a setting of 1. Is a setting of 0 possible for off? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The 4 port one. The 2 port one works fine. I'm on latest firmware. I tried to re flash the Marvell but couldn't get the USB to boot. I didn't persevere because some on line reports still suggested it was a bit dodgy and to be honest I don't trust it anymore. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have lost trust in the second Marvell controller! Got lots of preclear errors with it and read errors. Currently have 7 spinning and 2 SSD. So have 6 on board and 3 off lsi. Working well so far but it has only been a couple of days. If I need another spinny such as when 6.2 comes with dual parity I'll need to rethink. Either shave a bit off the plastic insert or get a new case. Can't really shave the card since the sas socket is right there! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just added an lsi card and unfortunately it is just a few millimetres too wide to fit without having to take the plastic drive slide out. Effectively taking out a drive slot. Might have to get the dremel out to shave a notch in it! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh great! My misunderstanding then. Thank you. I'll tune the fans down in that case. Room temp here almost never goes above 20 C so should be absolutely fine! Thanks again for a very useful plugin and advice. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks. The drive temperatures are ok and stay ok in a parity check. It's just the mb temp that's a bit over 40. So if anything need to improve airflow over the mobo rather than the disks. Edit: I'm just conscious of the asrock website quoting an operating temperature of up to 35 C and non operating temperature of above 40 C. It is virtually impossible to keep the mb and CPU temp below 35 C without a jet engine blowing across it! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Have successfully got this working on the asrock c2750, same mobo as dmacias I think. I updated the firmware of both bmc and efi to latest, but had trouble getting temperature readings. I had to reset the bmc to factory default to get it to be sensible! Thanks! I seem to be able to get sensible CPU temps, but quite high mb temps 40-45 unless the fans are cranked up high. Any tips? Same DS380 case. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I had a 2Tb drive which was mounted with unassigned devices which showed some smart warnings. It was on a possibly dodgy Marvell controller, so I swapped it to a new LSI controller and precleared three times. Here is the report: == Disk /dev/sdb has been successfully precleared == with a starting sector of 64 ============================================================================ ** Changed attributes in files: /tmp/smart_start_sdb /tmp/smart_finish_sdb ATTRIBUTE NEW_VAL OLD_VAL FAILURE_THRESHOLD STATUS RAW_VALUE Seek_Error_Rate = 100 200 0 ok 0 Temperature_Celsius = 122 124 0 ok 28 No SMART attributes are FAILING_NOW 5 sectors were pending re-allocation before the start of the preclear. 5 sectors were pending re-allocation after pre-read in cycle 1 of 3. 0 sectors were pending re-allocation after zero of disk in cycle 1 of 3. 0 sectors were pending re-allocation after post-read in cycle 1 of 3. 0 sectors were pending re-allocation after zero of disk in cycle 2 of 3. 0 sectors were pending re-allocation after post-read in cycle 2 of 3. 0 sectors were pending re-allocation after zero of disk in cycle 3 of 3. 0 sectors are pending re-allocation at the end of the preclear, a change of -5 in the number of sectors pending re-allocation. 1 sector had been re-allocated before the start of the preclear. 1 sector is re-allocated at the end of the preclear, the number of sectors re-allocated did not change. Is this disk ok? Was it the dodgy controller or is the disk dubious? V

Great. Thanks. I'll suck it and see over the weekend. See what happens to my sata drives with a preclear. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
