Query and monitor Unraid servers via the GraphQL API.

# Unraid API Skill Query and monitor Unraid servers using the GraphQL API. Access all 27 read-only endpoints for system monitoring, disk health, logs, containers, VMs, and more. ## Quick Start Set your Unraid server credentials: ```bash export UNRAID_URL="https://your-unraid-server/graphql" export UNRAID_API_KEY="your-api-key" ``` **Get API Key:** Settings → Management Access → API Keys → Create (select "Viewer" role) Use the helper script for any query: ```bash ./scripts/unraid-query.sh -q "{ online }" ``` Or run example scripts: ```bash ./scripts/dashboard.sh # Complete multi-server dashboard ./examples/disk-health.sh # Disk temperatures & health ./examples/read-logs.sh syslog 20 # Read system logs ``` ## Core Concepts ### GraphQL API Structure Unraid 7.2+ uses GraphQL (not REST). Key differences: - **Single endpoint:** `/graphql` for all queries - **Request exactly what you need:** Specify fields in query - **Strongly typed:** Use introspection to discover fields - **No container logs:** Docker container output logs not accessible ### Two Resources for Stats - **`info`** - Static hardware specs (CPU model, cores, OS version) - **`metrics`** - Real-time usage (CPU %, memory %, current load) Always use `metrics` for monitoring, `info` for specifications. ## Common Tasks ### System Monitoring **Check if server is online:** ```bash ./scripts/unraid-query.sh -q "{ online }" ``` **Get CPU and memory usage:** ```bash ./scripts/unraid-query.sh -q "{ metrics { cpu { percentTotal } memory { used total percentTotal } } }" ``` **Complete dashboard:** ```bash ./scripts/dashboard.sh ``` ### Disk Management **Check disk health and temperatures:** ```bash ./examples/disk-health.sh ``` **Get array status:** ```bash ./scripts/unraid-query.sh -q "{ array { state parityCheckStatus { status progress errors } } }" ``` **List all physical disks (including cache/USB):** ```bash ./scripts/unraid-query.sh -q "{ disks { name } }" ``` ### Storage Shares **List network shares:** ```bash ./scripts/unraid-query.sh -q "{ shares { name comment } }" ``` ### Logs **List available logs:** ```bash ./scripts/unraid-query.sh -q "{ logFiles { name size modifiedAt } }" ``` **Read log content:** ```bash ./examples/read-logs.sh syslog 20 ``` ### Containers & VMs **List Docker containers:** ```bash ./scripts/unraid-query.sh -q "{ docker { containers { names image state status } } }" ``` **List VMs:** ```bash ./scripts/unraid-query.sh -q "{ vms { name state cpus memory } } }" ``` **Note:** Container output logs are NOT accessible via API. Use `docker logs` via SSH. ### Notifications **Get notification counts:** ```bash ./scripts/unraid-query.sh -q "{ notifications { overview { unread { info warning alert total } } } }" ``` ## Helper Script Usage The `scripts/unraid-query.sh` helper supports: ```bash # Basic usage ./scripts/unraid-query.sh -u URL -k API_KEY -q "QUERY" # Use environment variables export UNRAID_URL="https://unraid.local/graphql" export UNRAID_API_KEY="your-key" ./scripts/unraid-query.sh -q "{ online }" # Format options -f json # Raw JSON (default) -f pretty # Pretty-printed JSON -f raw # Just the data (no wrapper) ``` ## Additional Resources ### Reference Files For detailed documentation, consult: - **`references/endpoints.md`** - Complete list of all 27 API endpoints - **`references/troubleshooting.md`** - Common errors and solutions - **`references/api-reference.md`** - Detailed field documentation ### Helper Scripts - **`scripts/unraid-query.sh`** - Main GraphQL query tool - **`scripts/dashboard.sh`** - Automated multi-server inventory reporter ## Quick Command Reference ```bash # System status ./scripts/unraid-query.sh -q "{ online metrics { cpu { percentTotal } } }" # Disk health ./examples/disk-health.sh # Array status ./scripts/unraid-query.sh -q "{ array { state } }" # Read logs ./examples/read-logs.sh syslog 20 # Complete dashboard ./scripts/dashboard.sh # List shares ./scripts/unraid-query.sh -q "{ shares { name } }" # List containers ./scripts/unraid-query.sh -q "{ docker { containers { names state } } }" ```
