I've set up a ZFS mirror on NixOS for my parents to keep important data safe, but what's the best way to get notified/alerted to a drive failing or zpool status or smartctl showing errors? Do I just have to check manually every week? What's everyone else doing? I know that you can set up msmtp to send yourself emails with a certain command's output, but that seems overly complicated to use and kind of tedious. Is there a better way?
