Sorry to revive this thread 1 year later, but I have a couple questions about smartmontools....
I have it installed and configured according to various tutorials I've found on the net. However I'm not sure if it is actually monitoring my HDD's or not. I used
htop to see if there was a process running and there is:
Code: Select all
11628 root 20 0 24588 2476 1684 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.05 /usr/sbin/smartd -n -q never
So I assume that smartmontools is monitoring due to that process running but not sure. Is there any way to find a log showing that smartmontools/smartd is running the disk checks I have configured in the
/etc/smartmontools/smartd.conf file?

Check the journal via 'journalctl'.
And open your own thread unless it covers disk monitoring and e-mails
