Its currently difficult without reading logs to determine when the last successful sync was. Would it be possible to add the last openfga-sync successful sync time to to the openfga application state? I assume this might need an issue opened with openfga-sync to write the last sync time somewhere it can be read from.

Summary IncusOS has no way to issue TRIM/discard to the SSDs backing its ZFS pools, and no way for an operator to arrange one. scrub_schedule has no trim counterpart, and the design (correctly) leaves no shell to run zpool trim from. I'd like to propose a trim_schedule field alongside scrub_schedule, and optionally a trim-pool action mirroring scrub-pool. Why there is currently no path As far as I can tell from the source, nothing in the stack ever trims: CreateZpool passes ashift=12, mountpoint=none and the encryption options — no autotrim. Incus itself sets autotrim=on, but only in its pool creation path. A pool created by incus-osd and then adopted by Incus via source= never goes through that path, which is the normal IncusOS arrangement. SystemStorageConfig exposes pools, scrub_schedule and allow_mixed_dev_sizes; pools expose name, type, devices, cache/log/special. There is no field for autotrim or any other zpool property. The storage actions are scrub-pool, delete-pool, wipe-d

It would be useful to show a different status message like "Wiping target driver, this may take a while" so that folks don't think we're stuck when dealing with a very slow blkdiscard operation.

As we're planning to move to the FuturFusion server kernel and new x86_64_v3 baseline, it would be useful to get details on existing systems. I think the endpoint should give us: Kernel version detail System CPU information (including x86_64 baseline if possible) dmesg output Module list including their dependencies

General idea would be to POST /1.0/debug/network-dump with arguments as part of a JSON struct, then depending on options, you either get a streaming pcap file as output or you get streaming text file. Interrupting the connection then interrupts the command on the IncusOS side.
