No statistic data available

[JochenGr]

I'm using the integration with a DXP2800. So far, everything is working great. However, I’m not receiving any statistical data. For some metrics (e.g., CPU/RAM usage, temperature data, etc.), this would be useful. I’ve determined that this is because the integration doesn’t set the “state_class: measurement” attribute:

As a workaround, I set it myself for the desired entities using the “customize” section in configuration.yaml

Is this an integration issue in my environment, or is this behavior simply by design?

This was just overlooked - so far, noone was asking for sensor statistics. It shouldnt be a big deal to add the state_class both to sensor.py (to make the integration deal with it in general) and to entities.py (where the sensor entities are defined). Will have a look into that.

Would you be so kind to make a quick list which sensors might be of interest for this? Pretty sure, for most of the sensors this just isn't relevant.

Thanks for your reply. I agree with you that historical data isn't necessary for most entities. I've enabled it for these entities:
CPU Usage
RAM Usage
Device Fan
CPU Temperature
Disk Temperature (for all disks)

Thank you, and have a nice weekend! 😁

Danke Jochen - appreciate the very soon feedback. :)

Could you please have an eye on database size and processing power the storing of data takes?
I am not expecting any difficulties, just wondering if there is any 'unconfortable' side effects after a while.

Particularly on fully-equipped larger NAS models (8-bay and such), this feature can lead to quite some data to be recorded over time.

Thanks,
