netxms VS BackDrop

open source https://www.netxms.org/.

You could monitor the hardware yourself just by setting email alerts from iDRAC and set up something like NetXMS (https://www.netxms.org/) for your system.

Speaking of monitoring (who knows, maybe some admin runs by this thread, lol), you could try also PRTG (https://www.paessler.com/prtg) or NetXMS (https://www.netxms.org/). We are using the latter. It acts as an advanced log watcher for us.

Get a good sys logging solution and monitoring solution setup and i am Shure the issues will show them selves. here's a decent free one https://www.netxms.org/

Speaking of monitoring, you might want to check on the solution we use, netxms (https://www.netxms.org/). What it does is it checks and alerts on specific log events and if disk latency gets too high. You might also want to check on this article https://www.starwindsoftware.com/blog/you-cant-have-too-much-monitoring.

Check NetXMS. It is free-to-use self-hosted software that looks to be capable to provide required monitoring. https://www.netxms.org/ This list of other tools can be helpful for your research of server and network monitoring software. https://www.starwindsoftware.com/blog/you-cant-have-too-much-monitoring

For larger systems, e.g., home lab, or production system, you could also employ some monitoring like prtg (https://www.paessler.com/snmp_trap_receiver?gclid=Cj0KCQjw852XBhC6ARIsAJsFPN2n8ULZRtls8WK2Y_vQvXd3QAhfSyJkWxhmc3PGSZDxm-sYXYeawRcaAvvLEALw_wcB) or netxms (https://www.netxms.org/). We use the latter in production, it helps to track down bunch of things, acting as automatic log watcher for us.

Ourselves, we use netxms (https://www.netxms.org/). I inherited the system, it's not rocket science to use it.

We use netxms tools for hyper-V cluster monitoring: https://www.netxms.org/. You can configure there absolutely everything. A lot of our customers use Storage Spaces, so it is included in the monitoring. Also, you can combine a few tools to get more precise results. Here is a good article about that: https://www.starwindsoftware.com/blog/you-cant-have-too-much-monitoring

I think we might need to look into it too at some point. I was using thing called netxms (https://www.netxms.org/) in my system but that was rather reactive approach. It was looking into the logs for me, tracking for SCSI senses, latencies, RAID degraded, etc. If you see the last in the log, you are already pretty much close to getting screwed. Still, it's a good open-source solution I inherited from the previous admin. Helped us a lot.

I made BackDrop to solve this. If I have, for example, two folders and two drives, and one folder fits on each drive, I don't want to fill one drive and then spill over to the second drive if it means splitting one folder between two drives. I want the cleanest way possible to copy data to as few drives as possible without splitting folders if they don't need to be.

Just leaving this here in case it could be of some use. https://github.com/TechGeek01/BackDrop

I wrote BackDrop a while back. While this was originally because I was looking for a way to backup to external drives where the data being backed up was larger than the drives, and required splitting between more than one drive, it's evolved since.

For manual copies, TeraCopy is awesome, cause you can have it verify files for you. I did actually write my own tool, though that was mostly so that I didn't have to think about handling not all files fitting on one drive (5-6TB of stuff, and a mix of 2-4TB drives). It may or may not suit you, but feel free to give it a look if you're interested. Currently it was designed to back up folders on a network share to a bunch of local drives, so unfortunately, it won't show local drives for source selection (though I'm working on making it able to do that).
