Dynamix - Web GUI


Recommended Posts

They were, but they clutter up the screen so I would like to get rid of them so I don't miss an important message.

 

These warnings can not be surpressed in unRAID v5, because it does not have certifcates installed, and downloads of files from github are done without certifcate verification, hence the warnings.

 

FYI. unRAID v6 can do downloads with certificates.

On a slightly separate note, I am using a 2 gig flash drive as the boot drive. It has about 15% free space. Is there any advantage to going to a larger drive?

 

That depends on what is being written to the flash. unRAID itself writes its configuration files to flash, which is really peanuts.

 

I am also using a 2 GB flash drive, it is full for about 40%, I try to avoid applications writing to it in order to extend its lifespan and the size is more than enough.

Hi - new user experience - I installed Web GUI for the first time last night after upgrading from 5.0.5 and to 5.0.6 and found a behaviour that I don't think has been covered in the previous 80 pages of the thread. The Dashboard tab shows content in the Statistics and System Status sections only when the array is stopped. Start the array, the content disappears - i.e., no green dots for active, no thumbs up for disk health, and next to nothing in the System Status box.

 

Any thoughts? Has this been seen before?

A small feature request:

 

When Dynamix notices that a parity check is running, I'd like to be able to receive hourly email updates including percentage complete and number of errors found/corrected, instead of the standard X hours that I've defined. It should be optional, and the frequency adjustable, of course.

 

It's a minor detail, and if I'm not at home to be able to monitor it, there's really nothing I can do about it anyway, but the OCD in me would love to get the regular updates.

 

Thanks!

This is something which can be considered for v6, but not v5 (notification system has changed quite a lot).

 

Anyway I put your request on my list for future improvements.

 

Thanks for suggesting.

I made a post about this same issue about a month back in multiple threads, and I know there was at least one or two more users having the same issues. Never seemed to pick up much attention - everyone told me just to clear my browser's cache, but this is clearly not the problem as it offers no solution to clear my browsers cache.

 

Hopefully it is a simple issue to fix because it is rather annoying not having that page display properly.

It sure has attention, but you are the first one reporting this observation in v5.

 

Can you tell what brand and model hard disks you have in your system ?

 

To clarify - I'm running Unraid 6 B12 but I have had the same issues with 5.0.6 as well.

 

I've posted a screenshot of the drives I'm running in the Unraid array.

Been using Dynamix for a while now and its great. Quick question, I noticed recently that when I use the webGUI that all my HDD indicators on my hot swap bays light up until I exit out. Not sure if it's always been that way or not. Is this regular behavior?

 

Dynamix does continuous updating of the GUI by making HTTP requests in the background. In unRAID v5 this has the effect that emhttp - the web server - makes a disk query upon each HTTP request it receives regardless of what is being asked. On certain systems this translates into continous HDD light flashing.

 

You can change this behavior under "Display Settings => Page refresh". When disabled it requires to do the user a manual refresh, are alternatively change the update interval.

 

Lastly if this has negative impact on the speed of a parity check (as some people have reported), then set it to disabled while a partiy operation is in progress.

Can we get an update that adds Line Breaks between the drives in the Status emails? Mine looks like this:

 

Event: unRAID active array

Subject: Notice [TOWER] - array is active

Description: Array has 15 active disks (including parity & cache)

Importance: normal

 

Parity disk - WDC_WD60EFRX-68MYMN1_WD-WX51D6402971 (sdj) (27 C) Disk 1 - TOSHIBA_MD04ACA500_24R6K00RFS9A (sdk) (31 C) Disk 2 - ST6000DX000-1H217Z_Z4D04L2A (sdl) (27 C) Disk 3 - WDC_WD20EZRX-00DC0B0_WD-WMC302075224 (sdm) (26 C) Disk 4 - WDC_WD20EZRX-00DC0B0_WD-WMC1T3951491 (sdn) (27 C) Disk 5 - WDC_WD20EARS-00MVWB0_WD-WCAZA0451826 (sdo) (26 C) Disk 6 - WD20EARS-00MVWB0_WD-WCAZA0455320 (sdb) (0 C) Disk 7 - WD20EZRX-00D8PB0_WD-WMC4M2038014 (sdc) (0 C) Disk 8 - WD20EZRX-00DC0B0_WD-WCC300673196 (sdd) (0 C) Disk 9 - WD20EARS-00MVWB0_WD-WCAZA0624983 (sde) (0 C) Disk 10 - ST4000DM000-1F21_Z3024WY8 (sdg) (0 C) Disk 11 - ST4000DM000-1F21_Z3024WMZ (sdh) (0 C) Disk 12 - ST2000DM001-1CH1_Z1F5DKBF (sdi) (0 C) Disk 13 - WD20EZRX-00DC0B0_WD-WMC1T0154634 (sdf) (0 C) Cache disk - Samsung_SSD_840_EVO_250GB_S1DBNEAD812507A (sdp) (27 C)

You may want to provide a few more details as to the e-mail client that you are experiencing this problem with.  In my case, I get the properly formatted sequence of lines (one line per disk) on both of my e-mail clients.
