FreeNAS Stat Monitor

gremblin · February 18, 2019, 1:04pm

I seem to remember that you’ll get an “Unknown” if there is no message or alert level. Maybe you can set a condition that if the others were able to pull data and Alert message is null, then make it “Ok.” or something.

In order to get your UPS status, you’ll probably have to go the SNMP sensor route and create a custom SNMP sensor. I would also like to set this up for the same reason. I just haven’t gotten around to playing with SNMP yet. With the API you can access your UPS settings, but it doesn’t look like you can get the current status: http://api.freenas.org/resources/services.html#ups

I got it to work. I was missing “object” in the value_template. But in the process I forced an alert by setting the disk temp low. I have the alert showing now but it will not clear even when I reset my disk temp alert and clear it from the Freenas UI. Restarted HA and it still holds.

value_template: '{{ value_json.objects[0].message }}'

It could either be your scan_interval or FreeNAS could still be reporting it in the API. Try getting the message from your browser and see what FreeNAS is reporting. http://hostipaddress/api/v1.0/system/alert/?format=json

@gremblin

Well it looks to be a FreeNAS issue by this old Bug report. At least with 11.3 it looks like the feature will be there. https://redmine.ixsystems.com/issues/11117

On another note did you get the stats from pfSense working?

I installed a crazy custom API package to get stats from pfSense ([link ](https://community.home-assistant.io/t/pfsense-stat-monitor/61070)). SNMP may have been better?

gremblin · February 18, 2019, 9:02pm

pfSense is working fine for me using the ‘crazy api’ addon, I haven’t tried using SNMP.

con you share your config here?

Dayve67 · February 22, 2019, 11:34pm

Her you go. Its pretty easy. Just copy and paste the sensors below and paste them in your sensor.yaml file.
Replace the IP of mine that is 192.168.1.9 with the IP of your Freenas. Also put in your user name and password on each sensor.

  - platform: rest
    name: FN_disk1_report
    json_attributes:
      - name
      - status
      - used_pct
      - is_decrypted
    resource: http://192.168.1.9/api/v1.0/storage/volume/Disk1/?format=json
    value_template: '{{ value_json.status }}'
    username: your_user
    password: your_password
    authentication: basic
    headers:
      Content-Type: application/json

  - platform: template
    sensors:
      fn_disk1_pct_used:
        value_template: '{{ states.sensor.fn_disk1_report.attributes["used_pct"].title() }}'
        entity_id: sensor.fn_disk1_report
      
  - platform: rest
    name: FN_alert_level
    resource: http://192.168.1.9/api/v1.0/system/alert/?format=json
    value_template: '{{ value_json.objects[0].level }}'
    username: your_user
    password: your_password
    authentication: basic
    headers:
      Content-Type: application/json
  
  - platform: rest
    name: FN_alert_message
    resource: http://192.168.1.9/api/v1.0/system/alert/?format=json
    value_template: '{{ value_json.objects[0].message }}'
    username: your_user
    password: your_password
    authentication: basic
    headers:
      Content-Type: application/json
  
  - platform: rest
    name: FN_version
    json_attributes:
      - fullversion
      - name
      - version
    resource: http://192.168.1.9/api/v1.0/system/version/?format=json
    value_template: '{{ value_json.fullversion }}'
    username: your_user
    password: your_password
    authentication: basic
    headers:
      Content-Type: application/json

  - platform: rest
    name: FN_disk2_report
    json_attributes:
      - name
      - status
      - used_pct
      - is_decrypted
    resource: http://192.168.1.9/api/v1.0/storage/volume/Disk2/?format=json
    value_template: '{{ value_json.status }}'
    username: your_user
    password: your_password
    authentication: basic
    headers:
      Content-Type: application/json

  - platform: template
    sensors:
      fn_disk2_pct_used:
        value_template: '{{ states.sensor.fn_disk2_report.attributes["used_pct"].title() }}'
        entity_id: sensor.fn_disk2_report

Then if your using Lovelace just make a card with all the sensor entities.

Just for fun If you would like to see the API of the FreeNAS you can enter some thing like this: ```
http://192.168.1.9/api/v1.0/storage/volume/Disk1/?format=json

in your browser, It will ask for your user and password. Dont forget to change the IP to yours.

Thanks

For those who may be interested, this is my current Lovelace View for FN related data:

gremblin · February 24, 2019, 5:07am

That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing!

Dayve67 · February 24, 2019, 12:27pm

Very nice. Mine was basic compared to yours. Can you share yours with me now?

jaalperin · February 24, 2019, 9:14pm

Hello Dayve67.

Please see: Home Assistant and FreeNAS.

My configuration and Lovelace view have grown since the above, but it’ll get you started. When you need more, let me know.

Dingin · May 1, 2019, 11:16pm

HI can you explain a bit how did u you the temperature and the status of each drive?

thanks for the help!

hijinx · May 20, 2019, 10:10am

I would also like to know, please!
Is this data coming from SNMP probe? Or is the FN11.x API providing a richer data set that includes SMART data?
I’m still on FN 9.10 (as I was too scared to upgrade after the coral debacle) and I can see that the API for disks is not returning SMART parameters.

Petrica · May 20, 2019, 11:14am

I think that OP used a command line sensor; however, you can get the values over SNMP too.

Have a look at my post 35 above. You can extend SNMP with the result of any script that you run on the FN.

For example: in order to get temperature of each drive use (replace x with 0 or any drive that you have)
smartctl -A /dev/adax it will give you something like below. Then, to extract temperature only, use

smartctl -A /dev/ada0 | grep -i airflow_temperature | awk '{print $10}' and save this as a script on FN.

DrBlokmeister · June 5, 2019, 11:09am

Hey guys! Could you please share your config? I got HDD and CPU temperature sensors working, but I’m having trouble setting up other sensors, such as system load. I don’t know how to ‘ask’ that of my system over SSH. Thanks!

jaalperin · June 5, 2019, 4:16pm

Please see post 52.

MrEMC · June 7, 2019, 2:34pm

Do you mind sharing your sensor.yaml?

jaalperin · June 7, 2019, 8:25pm

You need a little more than my yaml files (such as setting up ssh). Believe me, follow the link in post 52 and you’ll see I’ve documented the approach and given code examples. Nothing was held back. I don’t want to duplicate that work, but will be happy to answer specific questions.

after a long time finally finished the FreeNAS monitor, the FreeNAS server is the back bone of my house internal services:)
