Scrutiny S.M.A.R.T. Dashboard

As the Proxmox or TrueNAS indication of disk health is pretty basic and only tells if the disk is somewhat working or totally gone.

We need somthing to see how disks marken as OK really do.

In the picture above, both of the Failed disks showed OK status in both Proxmox and TrueNAS.

Installation of Scrutiny

We will use Docker to run this GUI. See GitHub for other installs and other features.

First we need to know what disks the node have by running lsblkcommand.
Then adjust the devices accordingly and enter the docker compose file.
