Scrutiny is an open-source tool that allows you to monitor the health of your hard drives and solid-state drives. This tutorial will guide you on how to install Scrutiny on Fedora Server Latest using the command-line interface.
Before installing any new software, we need to make sure that our system's package list is up to date. To do so, run the following command in the terminal:
sudo dnf update
This command will update the system's package list and ensure that all the available packages are up to date.
Scrutiny relies on some external libraries that need to be installed on the system before we can install the software itself. To install these dependencies, we need to run the following command:
sudo dnf install smartmontools libcurl libstdc++ libgcc glibc
This command will install all the required dependencies for Scrutiny to run without any issues.
The latest version of Scrutiny can be downloaded from the official Github repository. To download and install Scrutiny, follow the below steps:
wget https://github.com/AnalogJ/scrutiny/releases/download/vX.X.X/scrutiny_linux_amd64 -O scrutiny
Replace X.X.X with the latest version number of Scrutiny.
/usr/local/bin directory and make it executable.sudo mv scrutiny /usr/local/bin
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/scrutiny
We have successfully installed Scrutiny on Fedora Server Latest.
To verify that Scrutiny has been installed successfully, run the following command:
scrutiny version
This command will display the installed version of Scrutiny on the system.
Next, we need to configure Scrutiny to monitor the hard drives on our system. Scrutiny uses a configuration file located at /etc/scrutiny/config.yml, which we can edit using any text editor.
Open the configuration file using your preferred text editor:
sudo nano /etc/scrutiny/config.yml
In the configuration file, we can define which hard drives we want to monitor, the notification options, and more.
For more information, refer to the official Scrutiny documentation.
In this tutorial, we have learned how to install Scrutiny on Fedora Server Latest. Scrutiny is now ready to use to monitor the health of our hard drives and notify us of any issues.
