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 rem
