Of course. I'm running it that way. It's FreeBSD based, so why wouldn't it?
There's the Dashboard. Why would a home user constantly stare at a screen of live graphs?
I am not arguing it isn't useful - you are driving the "home user" point ...
I was recently playing around with netdata on my xcp-ng hardware (Xen hypervisor). I really liked the lived reports it would generate. Does FreeNas have anything equivalent? The reporting tab in the gui is nice, but really isn't at the same level or detail as compared to netdata. ****Well...

Hmm
Have you read that topic ? Did not sound good towards the end... they also could not find the memory issues that is being used as reason for removal... thus I dont have an answer for that question so... ?
I run 13hdd nas and for as long as I remember I had 0 issues with netdata...
One thing they did notice is that it did not work on freenas vm so huh... I'll test that when I get home and report over the weekend.
But again I share their points. It's a forceful change that does NOT BENEFIT home user in any matter. It only decreases the monitoring we were given from netData.
What will people do if they cant vm it or dont have enough cores ? We are all left with native monitoring which is terrible and snmp commercial overcomplicated solutions.
I've also read that pooling is at 10s in trurcommand?! Is that true ?! This is terrible !!! : (((
To answer your question, do I stare at graphs ? Yes I do. Every time I tune my nas I watch carefully how it behaves and adjust based on that. Now I wont be able to do it. 10s is eternity in performance optimizations. It was immense help when I added cache driver and I was following the nas performance. I fine tuned many tunables thanks to that.
