This is a plugin to monitor the values of SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) attributes of hard (HDD), solid state drives (SSD) and NVMe drives, using smartmontool's smartctl in the background. ATA, SCSI and NVMe drives are supported. The plugin is a fork of check_smart released in 2009 by Kurt Yoder. Since then the plugin has undergone a lot of changes. It allows to monitor drives behind hardware controllers and added a lot of parameters to fine tune the checks and set thresholds (on a per attribute setting).
