Recommended hard drive monitoring (Ubuntu server) options? (partizle.com)

I've had a home server for years, at first using Windows Server, then Unraid, and now using Ubuntu server. I've long known that I should keep a close eye on my spinning rust, but I never really knew the best way to have that monitoring quietly automated in the background, only sending me a message when something bad shows up. If it matters at all (I assume it doesn't) I am using ZFS on Ubuntu (but not using ZFS as root. It's mounted in e.g ~/user/storage. My primary drive is an SSD)

What are you all using for hard drive monitoring? What are you using for notifications and (generally) how are you linking those two together?

Does scrutiny recognize zfs pools?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Scrutiny uses smartctl --scan to detect devices/drives.

It will recognize the block devices but not the filesystem construct. That means ZFS pools themselves are out of scope.
