For those running HA on Unraid would be nice to fetch system monitor data about CPU, HDDs etc.
Unraid display nice piece of data, so there is no need install Glances for example.
it is not what I am looking for. Thanks anyway

Whatâs wrong with SNMP if I may ask, Iâm monitoring various servers and other IT devices through SNMP, it definetly allows to monitor CPU, mem, HDD usage and thousands of other parameters of my servers.

I started trying to do this but havenât had a lot of time. What I figured out is that if youâre running HA in your Unraid instance then you can mount usr/local/emhttp/state and pass it to HA (important to do as read-only), then youâll need to parse the contents.
This is my EXTREMELY HACKY version of a custom component is available here in case someone wants to spend some time turning it into something decent.

This seems great, However I seem to get this error

Perhaps you have an updated script?
Still using the same script with no issues.
From your error I think you might have an extra [0] after [âtotal_utilizationâ]⌠can you remove the [0] and let me know if that did the trick? If not ill try to have a look
sorry, ignore the [0] i was trying stuff to try and make it work, even without that it still doesnât seem to work. any ideas?
what version of HA you on?
(not sure what happened to my other posts, HA forum and my browser went a bit weird)
Can you make sure you are you mounting unraidâs folder: usr/local/emhttp/state (which is where all the infor is stored) as read only into a folder in the hass container named unraid_metrics
Yeah i am, i can access it from the homeassistant docker via exec aswell, permissions potentially an issue if homeassistant it self runs under a different user to the docker exec?
So i decided to go a more plug and play route, here is a unraid plugint that converts the ini files to json for easy reading from HA with a rest sensor Unraid JSON API
Care to share the code to make that pretty pretty monitoring?
Sorry exactly where is the yaml for this page?
Good moening,
Can you please explain how to install this monitoring dashboard.
I have installed the unraid api and created the account on the web ui with unraid IP.
Then i created a unraid_monitoring.yaml with link you provide.
At this point i dont understand what to do
Hi All,
I came across this custom component to monitor unraid in HA.
I added it via HACS and it errors on version missing from manifest.json. Just edit the file and add
âversionâ: â0.1â,
I cannot get it to work and the maintainer archived the repo.
Iâm sure someone with python experience can get this to work easily.
Hoping to resurrect an old thread. UnraidAPI is now broken and the custom component listed above has been archived. Are there any new methods besides Glances that will enable me to monitor things in HA? Glances doesnât provide Docker or VM stats or any control functionality.
There is a fork in the making.
Still buggy for me. Hope this gets fixed.
