Scrutiny
Scrutiny is a distributed hardware monitoring system and predictive drive failure analyzer. It provides a centralized management platform and web-based dashboard for tracking hard drive health and S.M.A.R.T. metrics across multiple remote servers.
The system functions as a S.M.A.R.T. alerting gateway and storage health trend visualizer. It estimates hardware risk by comparing drive attributes against real-world failure thresholds and records historical data to identify gradual degradation patterns that may not trigger immediate alerts.
Capabilities include distributed data collection via remote agents, automated storage device detection, and risk level evaluation. The platform incorporates time-series metric storage for long-term trend analysis and a multi-channel notification system that sends failure alerts through webhooks.
Features
