Some may reply, "Well why don't you add it yourself?". I have better things to do with my money and if that means blowing out my machine every once in a while vs knowing it's clean all the time to save hundreds of $$ then I'm ALL over it! I'd love a data center style clean room but I also don't want the bill that comes along with it. Not all of us put our machine is data center clean rooms. Another for instance would be, "Is the machine in question getting to full of dust and lint". ![]() Some may not think so, but then why the CPU, memory, HD, network, ect graphs? Because they provide valuable information. So, are temp graphs necessary? Absolutely! I've been trying to figure it out and I consider myself literate in a lot of ways, but apparently not enough to get splunk working decently and loading splunk into a VM adds more overhead than a simple graph ever would! Yes, we can use things like splunk to monitor system loads, temps, ect. The lmsensors is already included in the CLI, why not a graph in the gui to show some history as well? For instance if there is a time of day when the room that the system resides in is getting to warm or if under load if the system is having a hard time coping with getting rid of produced heat.įreeNAS doesn't have the ability to just simply add an app so that someone can monitor the hardware being it uses a web interface and all. There are many reasons to monitor system wide temps and hardware, they give us insight into the health of the system and can give us a warning that system alerts may possibly miss. ![]() They are for informational purposes! HD, CPU and MB temp graphs, Heck even fan speed shows us how the hardware is doing in the machine, determining whether or not there is enough air flow or if there is some sort of problem, how the health of the hardware and supporting components are functioning, if a fan is going bad or if a heat sink is coming loose, ect. We have CPU graphs, memory graphs, heck even HDD activity graphs, those are about as necessary as CPU temp graphs. I've done digging and ran across this forum and thought I'd reply. I'm sorry to wake this thread up again, but system temps has been on my mind a LONG time.
