Easy way to get all HDD temps from console?

[ajgnet]

Hello and Happy Holidays. Is there a recommended way to get current hdd temps from the cli? I know I can use smartctl but I'm wondering if there is a better way to get all HDD temps? Thanks.

Have a look at https://github.com/Spearfoot/FreeNAS-scripts . The get_hdd_temp.sh is probably what you want.

Is this for TrueNAS Scale or Core? I am running scale but the scripts appear for core.

I would indeed assume they were written for Core. But a test should not be too dangerous ...

References to paths might differ.

I don't have a SCALE box to test, but on an Arch-based Linux distro, I get errors such as these:

Code:

get_hdd_temp.sh: line 47: /usr/local/sbin/smartctl: No such file or directory
sysctl: cannot stat /proc/sys/hw/ncpu: No such file or directory
=== CPU () ===

=== DRIVES ===

On Debian Linux, the full path is actually /usr/sbin/smartctl

Since SCALE is Debian-based, it might differ slightly.

However, the script in general needs to be adopted from a FreeBSD base to a Debian Linux base.

It would be nice to just have a widget that would show the desired information in the GUI, but lack of that, one option is to use the Multi-Report script, located in the recourses section. It will provide an email report of your drives and pool status, which include the drive temps. Here is a snippet of the data. Also, read the last few pages of the Discussion, I posted the latest version yesterday, it's beta but I expect it to be final this week. I presently only have one change planned, to remove the word "beta" from the file. Well unless something comes up.

The Multi-Repot script is what I have using for a while now and it is a great tool. Thumbs up!!

It also gave me a scare when I ran it for the first time!

Code:

Creating the new file...
 
Humm, kind of slow...
 
Do you have enough RAM? Looks like about 8KB.  Troubleshooting...
 
I found the problem, the system was identified as a Tandy TRS-80 Model 1
Wow! That was a fantastic consumer computer, in it's day.
Adjusting for the 1.774 MHz clock rate...
Success!

I can't believe I fell for it. I must be tired...

LOL, some old time humor I guess. It was a hot new item that I got to play with when I was 16 and I also learned how to program in machine code using 80 column punch cards at the local community college. I was fortunate to have a science teacher who sponsored me for a special program where one student from each local high school could participate. I was one of seven.

This multi_report script is awesome. Thanks so much - exactly what I was looking for.
