Fan control keeps running for every fan no matter what goes wrong. This PR adds Unraid notifications so that a failing fan or controller does not go unnoticed.

Warnings

Each fan gets one warning once a problem has lasted 30 seconds:

  • Controller gone: its PWM controller no longer exists (unplugged, renumbered, or driver unloaded). A fan whose controller is missing when fan control starts also warns once.
  • Lost control: pwmN_enable left manual mode, so the BIOS or another program is driving the fan.
  • Speed not applied: the controller reads back a speed 10 or more points away from the one set. On MSI boards using the nct6687 driver, the warning also names msi_fan_brute_force. This replaces the separate stuck-fan warning from No longer seems to work properly #13.
  • Stopped: the fan reports 0 RPM while set above 40%, after it has been seen spinning. Fans without a tachometer, and fans at or below the default 40% Min Speed (where some stop by design), are never judged.

Recovery notices

  • A recovery notice is sent once the problem's check has run and passed for 30 seconds.
  • A check that cannot run neither warns nor recovers. This keeps flapping faults and loop restarts from sending spurious notices.
  • Warned problems are flag files on tmpfs, so Apply does not repeat a warning or lose its recovery notice.

Opt-out

Verification

  • tests/run-all.sh: all 28 files pass. tests/fan_alerts_test.sh (renamed from nct6687_stuck_test.sh) covers the checks, their boundaries, grace periods, restarts, flapping, the switch and retries.
  • Smoke test on the real loop against a fake hwmon directory:
    • fan dies: the warning arrives about 30 seconds later;
    • loop restarts while the fan is still dead: no recovery notice;
    • fan spins again: the recovery notice arrives about 30 seconds later;
    • controller removed with alerts off: no notification, and the loop keeps running.
  • Not tested on real hardware or with Unraid's own notify script.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added per-fan Problem Alerts, enabled by default and configurable alongside Syslog.
    • Alerts now cover controller issues, PWM mismatches, certain zero-RPM readings, and missing sensor readings. Warnings are sent after defined delays, with recovery notices when problems clear.
    • Added a startup warning when a fan’s controller is unavailable.
  • Updates

    • Updated the MSI NCT6687 speed warning to trigger after 30 seconds and identify the relevant option.
    • Expanded documentation to describe alert conditions and settings.

Fan control keeps running whatever goes wrong; the plugin now also sends
Unraid notifications so a failing fan does not go unnoticed. Once a
problem has lasted 30 seconds, the fan gets one warning:

- its PWM controller no longer exists (unplugged, renumbered, unloaded)
- pwmN_enable left manual mode, so the BIOS or another program drives it
- the controller reads back a speed 10 or more points from the one set
- the fan reports 0 RPM while set to 40% or more, after spinning earlier

When the problem clears, a notice says so. Warned problems are kept as
flag files on tmpfs, so a loop restart neither repeats a warning nor
loses the recovery notice.

The MSI nct6687 stuck-fan warning (#13) becomes the speed check's
nct6687-specific case, keeping its advice about msi_fan_brute_force.

A per-fan Problem Alerts switch, on by default, sits next to the Syslog
switch (card renamed Syslog & Alerts). It also silences the missing-
sensor warning (#21) and is read when a notification is due, so it takes
effect without restarting the loop. Saving the fan form keeps it, and
configuration backups accept it.
- A problem recovers only once its check ran and passed for 30 seconds.
  A check that could not run (controller gone, mode lost, unreadable
  value, a stop that may be by design) neither warns nor recovers, so a
  loop restart, a lost controller or a flapping fault no longer sends a
  false or repeated recovery notice.
- Having seen the fan spin is kept in the fan's flag directory, so the
  stopped-fan check survives Apply and other loop restarts.
- A fan counts as stopped only when set above 40%, the default Min
  Speed, where some fans stop by design.
- A fan whose controller is missing when fan control starts gets one
  warning; the loop announces the recovery once it starts.
- The Problem Alerts switch is read by sourcing the cfg, as the loop
  reads every other value, so notify=0 in any accepted format works.
- notify runs under a 30-second timeout, so it cannot stall fan control.
- Start drops the alert state of deleted fans; install clears the flag
  directories too.
- Tests cover default-on, both readback directions, the tolerance and
  nct6687 boundaries, restart, flapping and the not-started warning.

Walkthrough

The change adds per-fan Problem Alerts settings and runtime warnings for fan faults, unavailable controllers, and missing sensor readings. It also updates the documented MSI warning condition and makes installer cleanup recursive.

Changes: Per-fan alerts

Layer / File(s) Summary
Per-fan alert settings and persistence
src/usr/local/emhttp/plugins/fanctrlplus2/fanctrlplus2.page, src/usr/local/emhttp/plugins/fanctrlplus2/include/*, src/usr/local/emhttp/plugins/fanctrlplus2/css/fcp.base.css, tests/config_backup_test.php, tests/settings_layout_test.php
The settings panel adds a Problem Alerts switch for each fan. The setnotify operation saves the setting, configuration saves preserve it by default, and backup validation accepts it as a boolean.
Fan fault detection and recovery
src/usr/local/emhttp/plugins/fanctrlplus2/scripts/disk_group_control.sh, src/usr/local/emhttp/plugins/fanctrlplus2/scripts/fanctrlplus2_loop.sh, README.md, tests/fan_alerts_test.sh, tests/nct6687_stuck_test.sh
The loop classifies controller, control-mode, PWM, and RPM faults. Faults trigger warnings after 30 seconds and recovery notices after 30 seconds clear. The MSI nct6687 warning condition now uses a 30-second interval. The alert tests cover classification, timing, retries, and notification state.
Startup and missing-sensor alerts
src/usr/local/emhttp/plugins/fanctrlplus2/scripts/rc.fanctrlplus2, src/usr/local/emhttp/plugins/fanctrlplus2/scripts/disk_group_control.sh, README.md, tests/fan_alerts_test.sh
Startup warns when a configured fan has no usable controller. Missing-sensor notifications honor the per-fan alert setting, and fault-state directories for removed configurations are cleared.

Installer temporary-directory cleanup

Layer / File(s) Summary
Recursive temporary-directory cleanup
plugin/plugin.j2
The installer cleanup now removes matched directories recursively, in addition to files and symlinks.

Resolve notification blocking and alert-state defects before merging: slow notification delivery can delay fan adjustments, while restart and cleanup behavior can suppress warnings or recovery notices. Alert controls also need persistence and accessibility fixes.

Unverified finding
We couldn't verify this from the code. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

The recursive cleanup follows a symlink if /var/tmp/fanctrlplus2 itself is one, potentially deleting directories outside the plugin's temporary directory.

Installation can recursively delete other plugins' configuration directories.

This can occur when: A local user creates /var/tmp/fanctrlplus2 as a symlink to /boot/config/plugins before a privileged installation.

Review comments at @plugin/plugin.j2:
- Line 94: Update the installation cleanup step containing `rm -rf
/var/tmp/fanctrlplus2/*` so it preserves the per-fan fault directories and their
warning flags across upgrades; limit cleanup to other temporary contents without
deleting those directories.

Review comments at @src/usr/local/emhttp/plugins/fanctrlplus2/css/fcp.base.css:
- Line 586: Update the .syslog-switch and .notify-switch controls so Problem
Alerts can be operated by keyboard and screen readers: provide a named,
focusable control instead of relying on hidden checkboxes and non-focusable
click targets, and ensure keyboard-triggered changes use the same persistence
behavior as mouse changes.

Review comments at @src/usr/local/emhttp/plugins/fanctrlplus2/fanctrlplus2.page:
- Around line 1377-1382: Update saveFanSwitchState to serialize saves
independently for each fan switch, ensuring each request starts only after that
switch’s prior save completes so the latest selection is persisted last; keep
saves for different switches independent.

Review comments at
@src/usr/local/emhttp/plugins/fanctrlplus2/include/FanctrlLogic.php:
- Around line 263-269: Update the assignment-matching logic around the `$found`
check to recognize switch assignments with leading spaces or tabs, matching the
whitespace accepted by the backup validator. Ensure an indented existing key is
updated so the append path does not add a duplicate.

Review comments at
@src/usr/local/emhttp/plugins/fanctrlplus2/scripts/disk_group_control.sh:
- Around line 379-380: Update the warning-flag handling around fcp_notify in the
loop so an interrupted notification attempt does not leave a flag that
suppresses retry. Preserve the existing behavior of removing the flag when
fcp_notify fails, and ensure a warning is marked as delivered only after the
notification is successfully launched.
- Around line 323-328: Update the mode check around `mode` and `fcp_ok` so an
existing `${controller}_enable` attribute that cannot be read or returns an
empty value remains unchecked, rather than being marked healthy. Preserve the
existing handling for readable mode values and only add `mode` to `fcp_ok` after
confirming the read produced a value.
- Around line 292-294: Move delivery in fcp_notify off the fan-control execution
path so a slow notifier cannot delay temperature checks or subsequent fan
startup. Preserve alert-state updates and ensure failed deliveries remain
eligible for the existing retry behavior; use an independent delivery mechanism
that retains the result needed by that logic.

Review comments at
@src/usr/local/emhttp/plugins/fanctrlplus2/scripts/fanctrlplus2_loop.sh:
- Around line 50-52: Update the fault-tracking setup around fault_dir and
fcp_track_faults so spin history is keyed to the controller identity, preventing
a new controller from reusing the previous controller’s .spun marker. Keep that
identity-based history persistent across ordinary loop restarts.

Review comments at
@src/usr/local/emhttp/plugins/fanctrlplus2/scripts/rc.fanctrlplus2:
- Around line 62-63: Update the faults_* cleanup loop to determine whether each
fault directory’s fan name appears in the configured fan names, rather than
checking for a reconstructed configuration filename. Preserve the fault state
when a restored configuration names that fan, even if its controller is
unavailable, so subsequent startups do not repeat the warning.
- Around line 44-47: Update the skipped-fan path around the controller check and
fcp_warn_not_started so skipped configurations are revisited while other fan
loops keep running. Retry the missing-controller warning and detect when Problem
Alerts are enabled without requiring a service restart; preserve the existing
behavior for healthy fan loops.

Not changing in this PR. The Problem Alerts switch reuses the existing switch markup and handler that the Syslog, Airflow and History switches already use, so the keyboard gap is in that shared component. Fixing it there for all four switches belongs in a separate change.

Move notification delivery off the fan-control path.

If the notifier hangs, each due alert can delay the next temperature check by 30 seconds. Failed alerts retry on later iterations. Startup alerts can also delay launching subsequent fans. Deliver notifications independently while preserving alert state and retries.

Move delivery in fcp_notify off the fan-control execution path so a slow
notifier cannot delay temperature checks or subsequent fan startup. Preserve
alert-state updates and ensure failed deliveries remain eligible for the
existing retry behavior; use an independent delivery mechanism that retains the
result needed by that logic.

Not changing. notify already runs under timeout 30, Unraid's notify is a local script that returns in well under a second, and a delivery has to finish before we know whether to write the flag. Backgrounding it would need a separate result channel for the retry logic. That complexity isn't worth it to cover a hung local script, which is already capped at 30 seconds.

@andrebrait Understood. Synchronous delivery keeps the flag and retry logic simple. I accept the risk of delays if notify is slow.

Learning: Within repository "andrebrait/fanctrlplus", only for files matching one of ["src/usr/local/emhttp/plugins/fanctrlplus2/scripts/disk_group_control.sh"]: When reviewing fcp_notify_missing or fcp_notify_stuck in src/usr/local/emhttp/plugins/fanctrlplus2/scripts/disk_group_control.sh, preserve the flag-creation check before notification delivery: if the flag cannot be created, skip the notification to prevent repeated warnings each tick. Check that notifier failure removes the flag so a later tick can retry, while successful delivery retains the flag to suppress repeat warnings.

Retry warnings for skipped fans.

If another fan loop is running, a skipped fan has no process to retry a failed warning or observe Problem Alerts being enabled. The missing-controller warning can remain unsent until the service restarts. Revisit skipped configurations without restarting healthy fan loops.

Update the skipped-fan path around the controller check and fcp_warn_not_started
so skipped configurations are revisited while other fan loops keep running.
Retry the missing-controller warning and detect when Problem Alerts are enabled
without requiring a service restart; preserve the existing behavior for healthy
fan loops.

Not changing. A fan whose controller is missing has no loop, so nothing would retry its warning short of a new watcher process. The warning only goes unsent if notify fails at that moment, or if alerts were off at startup and get turned on later. Both are rare, and the next Apply or boot sends it. That doesn't justify adding a supervisor.

@andrebrait Understood. The retry gap is an accepted trade-off for this PR. I won’t pursue a supervisor.

You are interacting with an AI system.

- A warning's flag is written only after notify succeeds, so a loop
  stopped mid-send retries instead of suppressing an unsent warning.
- The seen-spinning marker names its controller, so a fan moved to a
  controller without a tachometer is not reported as stopped.
- An enable attribute that exists but gives no value leaves the mode
  unchecked rather than counting it as manual.
- Start keeps the alert state of every fan a configuration names, not
  only those whose file name matches.
- Install keeps the faults_* directories, so a warning issued before an
  update still gets its recovery notice.
- Toggling a switch matches an indented key instead of appending a
  duplicate, and saves for one switch run one at a time.
