Drobo-Status
Drobo Status is a python program that will connect to your Drobo and return JSON data regarding your Drobo. You can then use this data to get real time status from your Drobo. This is only tested on Drobo FS 8 Bay. Please let me know if it works on others.

Set up Application
- Clone this repo
- Edit drobo-status.cfg Set you DROBO IP (do not use quotes)
[drobo]
host = IP of your DROBO
- docker build -t drobo-status:latest .
- docker run -d --name drobo-status -p :5000 drobo-status:latest
In a browser go to host that is running this program on port 5000 I.E.(192.168.1.126:5000`
You should see output like
{"name":"Storage", "serial": "0db1135c014012","firmware-version": "2.1.8 [7.38.12635]","disk-total": "12 TB","disk-used": "1 TB","disk-free": "10 TB", "drives": [{"sid": 0, "status": 3, "capacity": "2.73 TB"}, {"sid": 1, "status": 3, "capacity": "2.73 TB"}, {"sid": 2, "status": 3, "capacity": "2.73 TB"}, {"sid": 3, "status": 3, "capacity": "2.73 TB"}, {"sid": 4, "status": 3, "capacity": "2.73 TB"}, {"sid": 5, "status": 3, "capacity": "2.73 TB"}, {"sid": 6, "status": 3, "capacity": "2.73 TB"}, {"sid": 7, "status": 129, "capacity": "0 B"}]}
