Understanding Health Scores
Disk Status calculates a health score for each disk based on multiple factors to help you identify potential failures before they occur.
Health Score Overview
Each disk receives a health score from 0 to 100:
- 100: Optimal health, no issues detected
- 80-99: Good health, minor factors to monitor
- 50-79: Moderate concerns, investigation recommended
- Below 50: Significant issues, action recommended
Risk Levels
Disks are categorised into risk levels based on their health scores:
- Healthy: No issues detected, performing normally
- Monitoring: Minor factors being tracked, no immediate concern
- At-Risk: Issues detected that could lead to problems
- Critical: Serious issues requiring immediate attention
Health Factors
Health scores are calculated from multiple factors including:
- S.M.A.R.T. attribute values
- Temperature readings
- Error counts and rates
- Wear indicators (for SSDs)
- Historical trend analysis
Viewing Health Information
Health information is displayed:
- On each disk's detail page
- In the Health dashboard for fleet-wide view
- As colour-coded badges throughout the interface
Score Updates
Health scores are recalculated periodically as new metrics are collected. The "Last Updated" timestamp shows when the most recent assessment occurred.
