Question

Posted

Hello,

I have a feature request regarding the email notification function of Stablebit Scanner.

Due to certain circumstances, I am using multiple disks that have SMART warnings. (Please don't worry about the data on these disks, as it's all expendable.) While operating in this environment with Stablebit Scanner, I encounter a significant issue.

The problem is that when Stablebit Scanner detects abnormalities and sends an email notification, it lists all the disks currently with SMART issues.

The issue here is that when I receive an email notification from Stablebit Scanner, I can't determine which disk triggered the notification and which abnormality it detected.

Some disks with SMART warnings may not worsen over time, while others may see their SMART values deteriorate gradually.

With the current email notification system, it's difficult to ascertain this information.

Therefore, I would like the email notifications to include the content of the previous report simultaneously and highlight any changes that have occurred since the last notification.

This would help users in deciding whether they need to replace the HDD promptly or if there's some time before it becomes critical.

Best regards.

Seconded.  I have 10 identical drives in my pool, so identifying the drive generating the warnings is difficult, especially when the unstable/uncorrectable sectors the warning email is informing of aren't shown in the sector map of any of the drives.

I agree, the current email is a bit vague at times and it takes a while to identify the issue. It would be good to include the customised name along with the case and bay. The default name is mostly useless as there is a good chance that you may have more than one disk of the same model, the serial number is more useful.
