TrueNAS Connect simplifies system management by providing a unified web interface for monitoring and controlling your TrueNAS system(s). Getting started requires only administrator access to your TrueNAS systems and an OAuth account for authentication.

The initial setup process guides you through service connection, system registration, and security configuration including keyring creation for secure API access. Once configured, Connect provides a centralized dashboard for managing your system(s), customizing monitoring views, and accessing essential system information in a conveniently unified location.

TrueNAS Connect delivers comprehensive health reporting capabilities that provide real-time visibility into system status, performance metrics, and critical events across your TrueNAS system(s). The integrated monitoring features track key metrics including CPU usage, temperature, disk I/O, memory utilization, and storage capacity while highlighting critical alerts and offline disk conditions.

The health reporting system enables proactive infrastructure management through customizable notification tasks that can deliver alerts via email, SMS, Slack, or PagerDuty based on configurable thresholds and schedules. With historical data retention for paid accounts and immediate alert visibility for all users, Connect ensures you stay informed about system health issues before they impact your operations, eliminating the need to manually check individual TrueNAS systems.

TrueNAS Connect provides comprehensive orchestration capabilities that enable centralized monitoring and coordination of your TrueNAS system(s) from a single web interface. The management suite includes detailed hardware inventory tracking, proactive health monitoring with customizable alerts, and flexible reporting capabilities for asset management and compliance.

Through the centralized dashboard, you can monitor real-time system metrics, coordinate storage devices across multiple systems, manage automated notification tasks for critical events, and export detailed inventory reports in multiple formats. These orchestration tools provide centralized visibility and coordination for your fleet while detailed system configuration remains in the individual TrueNAS system interfaces.

TrueNAS Connect allows you to install TrueNAS on your systems (targets) through the TrueNAS Connect web interface. After preparing your TrueNAS target for install, TrueNAS Connect handles the installation workflow remotely without requiring physical access.

The web installation process streamlines system setup by detecting an installer-ready system on your network and then guiding you through registration and initial configuration from your browser. While initial steps like creating installation media and booting the target system require local access, you can complete the actual installation and setup process entirely through the TrueNAS Connect interface.
