Proxmox with zfs disk moinitoring

[offerlam]

Hi,
I have built ny first proxmox using zfs.

A mirror for 2 disk for proxmox os.
And a zfs raid 10 for storage.

I know need alerts setup if a disk fails.
Can proxmox itself monitor for these alerts if i setup mail alert for proxmox?

Im using a super micro server and i dont think ipmi 2.0 can send me this info.

Good morning

You can use a monitlring system like zabbix or zfs-sed

If you have configured email notifications, you will get SMART errors.
I am not 100% sure if you also get ZFS and scrub errors by default, but I guess that is the case.

would zfs-sed respond with a mail if a disk fails completly to a point where it needs to be changed?

And thanks for such quick repsonses! both of you

You may read man zed after you've installed it with apt install zfs-zed.

"disk fails completly to a point where it needs to be changed" is not mentioned explicitly, but yes, I expect it to report fatal errors ;-)

YES you will get a zfs and scrub warming mail. Found out the hard way. Now working on replacing a faulty drive in a zfs mirror pool.

For scrub we use zabbix lld with regex
maybe cou can create an cronjob with snapping the result from

zpool status <pool>
