Disk Monitor for ZimaOS – now available for testing

[isanto1306]

Hi everyone,

my Disk Monitor for ZimaOS project is now available on GitHub and can be installed and tested.

It is still an early community project, so feedback and testing on different hardware would be very helpful — especially with SATA/SAS HDDs, NVMe drives, USB HDDs and RAID setups.

Current features include SMART health and temperature monitoring, SMART history, disk activity, standby detection, RAID support and automatic SMART checks.

On a fresh installation, Disk Monitor performs one initial SMART check for all detected drives. This first check may wake sleeping HDDs once so that the initial SMART data can be collected. After that, normal automatic monitoring follows the no-wake principle and does not intentionally wake sleeping HDDs just for SMART monitoring.

For USB HDDs, the expected standby time can be configured so Disk Monitor can estimate the standby state when the USB bridge does not provide reliable power-state information.

Docker image:
ghcr.io/isanto1306/disk-monitor:latest

If anyone wants to try it, I would appreciate feedback about installation, detected drives, SMART data, standby behavior, RAID detection and the UI on different devices.

Please keep in mind that this is still pre-release software and hardware behavior can differ depending on the controller or USB bridge.

Disk Monitor for ZimaOS

Disk Monitor – Quick Development Update Since August 30, quite a lot has changed in Disk Monitor: Added SMART automation with Off / 1× / 2× / 3× daily checks. Sleeping HDDs are never woken just for SMART; automatic checks wait for a natural wake-up. Added a startup SMART check for already-active drives and SSDs. Added per-drive information showing how many automatic SMART checks ran today and when the last one was performed. Improved the SMART Full Check results and made the summary …

Thanks for testing!
