There is no other setup than just installing the container. Select your appdata path and host ports if the default ones are taken.

Search for influxdbin Community Apps and install it using the default template.
This is a pretty simplified explanation and you can read more here: Telegraf, InfluxDB, Grafana Installing Influxdb Telegraf is what collects all the different system metrics and outputs it to an InfluxDB database that Grafana uses to visualize everything with pretty graphs and bars. Every time you are over there I would inspect SMART results and see if there are signs of disks that might start failing, if you see those, then replace.In getting all this setup, there are 3 main moving parts. I would advice setting up as you stated, using simplefeatures but the "replace on error" I would not do. Joe is absolutely right in the fact that an error on a "disk" might also be an error with a cable because the server got moved or something.īasically the "on error replace disk" thing will work only there is a reasonable chance that the error was something else and then the replace will not work, even worse: during the time the new disk is rebuilding your system will not be "safe", there is no longer parity untill the new disk is fully up and running. I use simplefeatures and it sends the mail you need, it also sends a mail whenever the array is not started (for example after a power failure, or if mom thought she needed to vacuum and used the socket :-)Ī different email can be setup for errors and general status info (which you can turn off and on). OR you could PreClear the drive at your home and mail it to your parents - if you're going to do this, you may want to have a spare drive at your parent's home that's already been precleared.

it takes the array offline during the initialization but no Telnet session required. I'd just let UnRAID initialize the drive. and even for smaller drives (1-2TB) it's still a very long time). but that Telnet session would have to be active for the entire PreClear time (~36 hrs for a 3TB WD Red in my experience.

You COULD Telnet into the server from their PC and initiate a PreClear. but if you're trying to do this remotely, it's not a script that your parents could likely run. I really like Joe's PreClear scripts (and always use them). => If/when you DO need to have them replace a drive you may want to simply let UnRAID do the initialization. For example, this will turn on one of my UnRAID servers: On the PC, you can simply use a magic packet utility to send the WOL command. You could stop the array shut down the server tell them to remove and replace a drive then YOU could turn on the server and add the drive to the array. If you set up wake-on-LAN on the server, you could even have a "Turn on UnRAID" shortcut on their computer, and you could actually turn on the UnRAID box remotely. => Third, if you DO need to tell them to replace a drive you could do virtually everything you need remotely except for the physical removal/replacement of the drive. checking on your parents' UnRAID server, it's probably simpler to simply set up one of their PCs (NOT the UnRAID server) with LogMeIn and just periodically log in access the UnRAID server via the web interface and check the current status.
#Unraid best plugins update#
has there been an update to the mail packages since Oct that might help with this? I tried the latest version of UnMenu, but could not get it to work - I had hoped Joe might give me a clue as to what was wrong but I think my question got "buried" before he saw it => First, it's not so simple to set up mail. (an alert on a change in sectors re-allocated or pending reallocation) Those combined with temperature are the most critical to track. There is not one for changes in smart status, but that is a good idea for an enhancement. There is one for overtemp, and another for disk status.
The e-mail itself is one package, and the alerts are several others. I've not tried SimpleFeatures version available if you use the recent beta 5.0rc8a. I use the ones I wrote and are available in unMENU as installable packages. What version of unRAID are you planning on using? What email application would you recommend I go with? So in terms of email notification when a drive would turn RED (I guess no SMART monitoring). Was planning on spending around $400, I'm already at $800 I occasionally visit them about once a month though. So I just ordered an Abit replacement that will work with what I have. Was about to start to configure unraid and found out about the stupid HPA on Gigabyte boards. It was a was Gigabyte board, Athlon 4850e proc, 4 gigs DDR2 RAM, I was all set, bought an m1015 flashed it (took a lot of grief). Unfortunately, I was trying to re-use a lot of the parts from the current WHS that they had.
