Packaging Scrutiny for NixOS · Jon Seager — In a recent (well, recent-ish) episode of the Self Hosted Show, there was some talk of a hard drive monitoring tool called Scrutiny. Scrutiny is a hard drive monitoring tool that exposes S.M.A.R.T data in a nice, clean dashboard. It gathers that S.M.A.R.T data using the venerable smartd, which is a Linux daemon that monitors S.M.A.R.T data from a huge number of ATA, IDE, SCSI-3 drives. The code is available on Github.
