I am very excited about SMART reporting in v1.5 ( #1880 ), but judging by the docs I don’t think that plugin is going to allow me to monitor the health of my older RAID arrays because they don’t get along with smartmontools.

For now I’ll be implementing an exec to grep the outputs of tw_cli and MegaRaid, but I could roll this into a plugin instead. Would anyone else make use of this?
