[smartmontools-support] Disk failure notification options

[Alex]

Hi,

I have a fedora33 system with smartmontools-7.1 and believe I have a
failing disk:

If I recall, the raw_read_error_rate was less than a few hundred about
a month ago. Are there any other indications here that would lead you
to believe this disk is failing? Do these disks typically last more
than 60,000 hours?

I have smartd running:
/usr/sbin/smartd -n -q never

I've also configured /etc/smartmontools/smartd.conf with the following
for this disk:
/dev/sdc -a -R 1 -W 4,45,55 -H -m admin at example.com -M exec
/usr/libexec/smartmontools/smartdnotify -n standby,10,q

I'm hoping this command will do the following:
- monitor all drive aspects
- send an alert whenever the Raw_Read_Error_Rate changes
- send an alert whenever Temperature changes >= 4 Celsius or , >= 45C
and log a critical alert when temp is >= 55

I just want to be sure I'm not doing something wrong that will
overlook an early warning alert for this drive failing.

Thanks,
Alex
