ZFS widget?

@w0w Reading here:

I am presuming the Disks widget is the one. Never heard of pfSense widgets...I'm reading here and will report back on my progress:

Thank you!

The SMART Status widget should show you.

Little by little I'm learning. The "ZFS" Widget doesn't exist for CE which sucks but I understand. I do have the SMART and Disk widgets enabled. I did realize that I can run zpool status from the command line. So at least I can manually check the RAID status whenever I'd like.

Would this by chance be a solution for me:

I'm not sure exactly how to implement but if I can receive some sort of email notification that there is a drive complication or the RAID is compromised then I'd really appreciate it.

Yes. Looks promising. In case of pool failure it sends an email with alert, if you have configured notifications in pfsense GUI.

You can use Filer package to add the file permanently to the system, it will survive any upgrade
Put the file content there, fill the fields like this

then install CRON package and add the job there.

Hope this works for you

@w0w Thank you! I finally got around to getting this installed. I presume this will send me an email midnight on Sundays if there is an issue....

It would for that Cron job but you could run it more often or on a different day etc.
