Hard Disk Monitoring

now the drive seems to work properly. the error when trying to format it was something about not supported command or something, i did not do a screenshot and a restart solved the problem so i can't reproduce. also testing just the end of the disk (that showed slower write speeds) has now normal spe...

Hi, i have an ssd that was giving me headaches on a different computer, i have moved it to my main PC to do some extensive testing with hdsentinel. The disk write test gave me some slower sectors towards the end of the disk, so i have decided to do a full surface reinitialization, that took 12 hours...

Recently I had to do a few disk surface tests (successfully killing an SSD in the process :) ) and I have found some little annoyances: - saving the images of tests exports in jpg format. These screenshots should be saved as png for better readability. the jpegs are quite heavily compressed - when r...

for my purpose the <Hard_Disk_Summary> section would be sufficient, but implementing the full reports content would be probably preferred. as for the grafana integration, i use influxdb as data source, HDSentinel could be integrated easily via the input.exec plugin (https://github.com/influxdata/tel...

Would be be possible to generate a json format report for hdsentinel? XML is not used much today anymore, and the json output would enable easier integration with grafana.

i think i know whats wrong. HDSentinel is compiled for the x86 platform, while applications which can be run on the router need to be compiled for the mipsel target. if you could make a custom build, i would be glad to test it. but i understand that it could be too much hassle for nothing...

see the ls output below. permissions should be ok, and of course i am logged in with root privileges

Is it possible to run HDsentinel on linux based routers like the Asus WL500gP? I have an extrenal hdd connected to the router which is in a smart enabled enclosure (as least from windows i am able to access the smart data of the hdd). The drive is running 24/7 as a small NAS. I would like to monitor...
