October 8, 200817 yr Just to get an idea, What interest is there in remote status alerts for your unRAID server. I've been thinking of an LCDproc environment to present a remote visual overview. With the Crystalfontz lcd it would be pretty easy. http://www.crystalfontz.com/products/635/index.html http://www.crystalfontz.com/product/XE634BK-YMC-KU.html http://www.crystalfontz.com/product/XES635BK-YYE-KU.html If you have slimserver and a squeezebox, it may be possible to send remote display messages. If you have a slimp3, squeecebox or later, please respond with your model. http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/HardwareComparison With the ROKU soundbridge, it can accept remote connections via TCP/IP-telnet calls making it capable of getting status messages too. It can also interface with Slimserver. http://www.roku.com/products_soundbridge.php http://www.nagios.org/ In addition there are the tried and true.. beeps and email. (some of which are implementable already).
October 9, 200817 yr The one I have is a CFA632-YFB-KU. http://www.crystalfontz.com/product/CFA632-YFB-KU.html
October 11, 200817 yr I can LCD (I can buy - if UnRaid support this - Crystalfontz LCD with keypad ) and configuration through web interface. I can e-mail notification and configuration through web interface. Family Squeezebox's is nice. Nagios is interesting. Very thanks for implement it. I may donate any $$$ if these features will be paid.
October 15, 200817 yr Author WOW, just came across this LCD recently. Cost effective too! http://www.mini-box.com/PicoLCD-4X20-Sideshow
October 15, 200817 yr looks interesting. I would actually love to get e-mail notifications for certain things. It would be best if these could be configured so that messages showed up as often or as little as you like. Personally i would like to get e-mail notifications every 3-4 hours from say 8am to 8pm. A general message of system stuff could be sent out like this. If anything catastrophic was to happen and an e-mail could still be sent out then of course that would come whenever it likes. Perhaps something like if SMART came back with an error that e-mail would be sent immediately. I guess some "categories" need to be made of what constitutes a message that needs to be sent right away and waht ones done. If some of this is incoherent please forgive me, i am in class right now and trying to type this (so bored)
October 15, 200817 yr Sorry for an off-topic post here, but couldn't help wondering about the way the percentages are calculated in the poll above. You will notice that (at the current time) there are 28 voters, of which 25 have checked the box for interest in Email Notifications, resulting in a percentage of 52.1% ! They are using a divisor of Total Boxes Checked, instead of Total Voters. I can't find anything meaningful in the current number shown. It appears whoever implemented the poll feature of this bulletin board set it up for radio type selection, and never updated it for check boxes. [/offtopic]

October 15, 200817 yr Author People are allowed to place up to 4 votes. The percentages seem to be based on total number of votes. I wanted to see the curve of choices and not just a single selection. It's pretty obvious at this point what people are interested in (I knew this going in) The reason for alternatives is in the event mail does not get through. Plus I plan to work on some display status options of my own and I wanted to see interest level. EDIT... to add to this.. If unraid notify or some other daemon were to handle the status inquiry and data population. External plugins could be called to deal with the notification process.
October 15, 200817 yr WOW, just came across this LCD recently. Cost effective too! http://www.mini-box.com/PicoLCD-4X20-Sideshow Nice and low cost LCD . But for technique which is in Vista - Sideshow. I have Vista and for my mobile device I have BETA Windows SideShow Gadgets. Drivers for picoLCD http://www.picolcd.com/drivers/
April 15, 201016 yr Hi WeeboTech. Have you made any progress on the LCDProc project? I know it is a stale thread, but I would like to get my 16x2 display driven by the 'HD44780' chip via a Parallel Port going to monitor my unraid server. Thanks.

August 12, 201213 yr Any progress on this? The picoLCD looks pretty cool. I never got the picolcd to work well. I bought another similar product. When I dig it back out I'll post it. Sent from my SGH-I727R using Tapatalk 2
August 12, 201213 yr For those interested in Nagios, let me add that SNMPc is so much better. Nagios will send you a message when something goes down & then continually send messages every 5 minutes until it comes back up. SNMPc will send you one message when something goes down & one message when that something comes back up. May not seem like a big deal, but if you have the alerts going to your phone (email or text) & are away somewhere (a meeting, a dinner, out of town) & your phone goes off every five minutes... Not fun getting all those alerts or deleting them later with Nagios.
August 15, 201213 yr Squeezebox Radio Wow, that's a good idea! I have three squeeze devices around the house - it would even be possible to give a spoken notification!
August 28, 201213 yr Crystalfonts looks pretty slick. For e-mail / alerting, I'm using a package much like nagios called Xymon http://www.xymon.com/. Much easier to configure and write scripts for than Nagios.

As is the ability to configure service dependencies, so that if it stops responding to ping you don't get network service alerts?

I have not used Nagios in several years. Was a huge annoyance to the IT team where I worked about 5 years years ago.
September 9, 201213 yr This would add a really nice professional touch to a lot of unraid servers. Think QNAP/Thecus/etc-style NAS. I would buy any module this is designed for.
