[FEAT] Monitoring filesystem stats - specifically BTRFS dev stats #329

Open iamwoz opened 2 years ago

iamwoz commented 2 years ago

There is a real shortage of tools to monitor BTRFS filesystems and devices (these scripts are about as good as it gets https://github.com/kdave/btrfsmaintenance).

Is there any interest in monitoring BTRFS stats that indicate failures? This simple command along with your built-in notification system would be awesome.

cool idea, but this would be monitoring at the filesystem level, rather than the device level. Scrutiny doesn't really have any concept of filesystems (or virtual devices -- like RAID) so it would definitely require some changes to the UI, but the collector model is designed to support use-cases like this.

Honestly the biggest issue is that I don't use BTRFS (or RAID) so it makes it difficult for me to test & develop robust collectors for these use-cases. If you'd be willing to spec the requirements for a simple BTRFS simple collector (in this issue or via a PR), I'd be happy to discuss, but I don't think this would be something I could take on myself.
