If possible, look at the DHCP server and see if it's listed as having a DHCP lease. Also, you can check the monitor that is attached to the device, or the console and see if you can spot the IP address. It may have just defaulted to another IP or gotten one from DHCP.

As stated earlier, I did just that already.

I'm not going to stress over it. 7 stable should be out soon and I'm sure it'll work once the upgrade happens.

Done, with no effect. Still showing nothing in that widget.

To be sure, I remoted into my server at home (where this OMV instance is located) and tried using the browser on the server to log in. It also is showing nothing on the SMART widget. 2 computers, using 2 different browsers on each, showing the same result.

This is very odd.

I would agree, especially since it used to show up on the dashboard and was a very handy way to know that the drives were reporting their health and the health was good. It has been part of my daily checks for quite some time. I loved the update that added the temperatures to the widget, too. Now this morning they vanish. I'm just hoping to get them back.

Cleared cache in Chrome - no effect.

Opened page in Firefox (which has never been to this page on this machine) and it shows exactly the same.

Have you searched the forum? There are recent threads on this topic.

I did a lookaround, but didn't see anything on it. Apologies if I missed anything.

Please post a Screenshot of:

Are your drives being monitored?

Yes, the drives are being monitored (See OP). Here is a SS of the drives showing:

The one showing as "Unknown" is the USB drive used for backups.

I'm having a bit of an issue with the SMART dashboard widget. The issue is that it is no longer showing the SMART status of the drives. I can go into Storage > SMART > Devices and they are all there and showing properly, but the dashboard widget shows nothing. It used to show all 3 drives SMART status, with the temperatures.

Is this anything to do with an update that may have changed something? I of course performed a restart to make sure it wasn't that. I also turned off that widget, saved, turned it back on and saved. No change.

Any ideas?

My stats are in my signature.

I found out about it when I was today years old. Thank you, this is going to open up a bunch of toys for me to play with.

I'm not seeing that in the Plugins list, even after refreshing and checking for new ones.

In the dashboard, you can go here:

You can click the plus and create a new job to set it to Standby daily at a given time. Unfortunately there is no way I am aware of to set it to sleep or turn off after a given time of inactivity.

Perhaps someone else knows a way? I'd be shocked if there wasn't some way of doing that.

Power off, or sleep?

Powering off would leave it completely inaccessible and require someone to push the 'On' button before it could be accessed again. Sleep just means it would go into a low power state until someone tried to access it again, then it would come back up all by itself.

Maybe the feature can just get added to disable login notifications as an option? I'm not a developer, so am not sure what's involved in it, but it seems an easy addition on the surface.

Using the local router's IP for DNS is the completely standard way to do it. If you set it to DHCP, the DNS IP you get is the local router. Using DNS that is outside the network is not an advisable thing unless you never want to manage any internal DNS. I use internal DNS extensively, so make sure the local router is my primary DNS. On my Windows domain controller (only a couple machines use it) the local router is listed as the secondary DNS so I can fully manage all DNS for the entire network, whether on domain or not.

I also always always set a static IP on any network server or printer. 25+ years in IT have shown me that you always (did I mention always) set it to a static IP. If you combine not using a static IP, and using external DNS, you have a recipe for not connecting. External DNS has no idea of your local IPs handed out by the DHCP server, so has no way to resolve the names to an IP.

Trust me on this, use the settings I gave above and it will work just fine.

FWIW - everything is working perfectly except for the login screen. I'm not having any luck getting in, so I'm just going to back it up to my other file server and just redo it.

If you're setting static IP addresses outside of the 192.168.0.X subnet, they'll never work. Try my suggestion posted above.

It is using 5% of the drive (106G free of 116G)

The IP should be outside what the DHCP server hands out, but it still has to be on the same subnet. It needs to be on 192.168.0.x to be reachable. Set it to (IP)192.168.0.254/(Subnet mask)255.255.255.0/(Gateway)192.168.0.1 and then you should be able to get to the interface. Oh, and the DNS should be 192.168.0.1 as well. You can put the Google DNS servers as secondary, but use the local router/modem as the main DNS.

Something odd is definitely happening on it. Now I can't bring up the login page at all. The page for the File Browser is working just fine, and the shares are working fine, but the login page won't come up.

I guess I'll look more at it once I get home. Thanks for trying, all who did.
