Scheduling SMART email alerts

[sshaikh]

On Proxmox 5, I appear to already be able to see SMART data via the webgui. Further I can send email from the CLI:

echo "testing" | mail -s "test" me@privacy.net

So I suspect that email smart alerts are already working. My question is if there's a way to test it? Or perhaps get a monthly SMART report sent out?

Please check out the docs and you can edit the smartd.conf to send test checks.

Perfect thank you. I added "-M test" after DEVICESCAN in the smartd.conf to send a once off test email (per disk) on smartmontools restart.
