v1.67.1

v1.67.1 (2026-07-28)

Bug Fixes

• Preserve jmb39x-q device type and accept usable SMART JSON (#677) - Fixes #663

  • QNAP TR-004 enclosures in Individual mode address each bay through the smartmontools jmb39x-q,N backend. Two independent collector defects made those disks unmonitorable. Both are fixed here.

• Pass explicitly configured smartctl device types verbatim (#678) - Fixes #664

  • Some Hitachi and Toshiba drives answer an auto-detected smartctl query with no identity, SMART support is: Unavailable and no attributes. Scrutiny renders that as a failed disk with zero metrics. The documented remedy is to pin the device type in collector.yaml; for most of these drives that type is sat, which already reached smartctl. A configured type of scsi or ata did not.
  • All three smartctl call sites (detection --info, collection --xall, FARM log) carried a hand-copied guard:
  • go
  • if len(deviceType) > 0 && deviceType != "scsi" && deviceType != "ata" {
  • args = append(args, "--device", deviceType)
  • }
  • The guard is correct for a type that came from smartctl --scan: container scans routinely mislabel ATA disks as SCSI, and forcing -d scsi on one loses its ATA attributes. It is wrong for a type the user wrote down, but models.Device carries no provenance, so the two were indistinguishable. The comparison was also exact-case, so type: 'ATA' was passed through while type: 'ata' was dropped.

• Keep scroll position when a menu closes (#679) - Fixes #672

Release Highlights

• Promote develop to master: collector device-type fixes and menu scroll fix (#680) - Fixes #663, Fixes #664, Fixes #672

v1.67.0

Upgrade action required: Omnibus users

v1.67.0 upgrades the embedded InfluxDB runtime from 2.2 to 2.9.1. Existing Omnibus installations must back up their InfluxDB data before the first 2.9.1 startup.

1. Stop the Scrutiny container.
2. Back up the complete host directory mounted at /opt/scrutiny/influxdb. For the example Compose deployment, this is ./influxdb. For the Unraid template, the default is /mnt/user/appdata/scrutiny/influxdb.
3. Set SCRUTINY_INFLUXDB_29_BACKUP_CONFIRMED=true.
4. Start Scrutiny and confirm the application and InfluxDB health checks are healthy.

The updated Omnibus image blocks InfluxDB startup when existing data is detected without this acknowledgement. Fresh installations start normally and do not require confirmation. After a confirmed upgrade, a persistent marker prevents repeated prompts.

If an earlier latest image already started InfluxDB 2.9.1, stop Scrutiny and back up the current InfluxDB directory before making further changes.

See the Omnibus InfluxDB 2.9 upgrade instructions and rollback guidance.

Highlights

InfluxDB 2.9.1

• Upgrades the embedded Omnibus database from InfluxDB 2.2 to 2.9.1.
• Keeps token hashing disabled for rollback compatibility.
• Documents downgrade and token-recovery procedures.
• Adds a pre-start backup-confirmation gate for existing Omnibus data.

Collector omnibus image

• Adds ghcr.io/starosdev/scrutiny:latest-collector-omnibus for hub-and-spoke deployments.
• Bundles SMART, ZFS, MDADM, Btrfs, filesystem, and performance collectors in one spoke image.
• Includes Docker Compose, Unraid, documentation, and image-build support.

MDADM reliability

• Persists host_id during array re-registration so RAID arrays group correctly by host.
• Handles MDADM discovery variants and missing device lists without crashing the RAID Arrays page.
• Existing arrays need one fresh MDADM collection to backfill host_id before host headings appear.

Logging

• Honors configured startup log levels across Scrutiny containers.
• Allows the startup banner to be suppressed.
• Improves structured service-startup logging.

Fixed issues

• #636: Suppress the ASCII startup logo and honor log settings.
• #640: Group MDADM arrays by host.
• #642: Provide a combined collector omnibus image.
• #652: Prevent null MDADM device lists from crashing the RAID Arrays page.

Pull requests

• #661: Promote tested develop changes to master.
• #662: Require backup confirmation before the InfluxDB 2.9 upgrade.

v1.66.0

1.66.0 (2026-07-08)

Drive Health And SMART

• Prevent false FAILED: SCRUTINY ATA SSD results by skipping generic HDD observed-threshold scoring for vendor-specific ATA SSD SMART attributes when the smartctl-reported name does not semantically match bundled generic ATA metadata, and add an exact-family Crucial/Micron RealSSD m4/C400/P400 compatibility profile. Closes #587.
• Expand ATA consumer-drive profile matching, inspection, and observability so profile behavior is easier to understand and troubleshoot. Includes #552.
• Detect Power-On Hours 16-bit counter rollover so wrapped ATA values do not inflate age and replacement-risk interpretation. Includes #595 and #625.
• Add ATA SMART self-test history persistence, API support, and device-details UI coverage. Includes #491.

UI

• Add dashboard column-count and card-density controls. Includes #471.
• Fix dark-mode tokens for settings dialogs and dropdowns. Fixes #634.

CI And Maintenance

• Harden branch-sync automation so beta is protected from cleanup and recreated automatically if missing. Includes #630.
• Roll in dependency and workflow maintenance already carried on beta, including actions/checkout v7 and frontend dependency security updates.

v1.65.0

v1.65.0 (2026-06-29)

Features

• V1.65.0 - PoH rollover detection, dashboard density controls, settings fix (#629)
  • Promotes the 1.65.0 beta line to master (1.64.0 -> 1.65.0). Scope below is limited to changes that are actually new versus master; features merged to master earlier (per-URL heartbeat, navigation visibility, host grouping, ATA self-test history, contextual help) are already shipped and are NOT part of this delta.
  • Features
  • Fixes
  • Refactors (cognitive complexity)
  • Power-On Hours 16-bit counter rollover detection (#595, #625) - new smart_rollover_test.go, thresholds logic
  • Dashboard layout controls: max column count + card density ('comfortable' | 'compact') (#471)
  • Preserve server-capability flags on settings save: server_version and collector_trigger_enabled were dropped from the POST /api/settings response, so the "Run collectors" button vanished after any settings change. Backend now echoes both flags (shared collectorTriggerEnabled() helper); frontend config setter preserves them with a current-value fallback. Adds handler regression tests.
