We should be notified of hard drives failing before they're dead or creating serious issues.

I found a cookbook for smartmontools, which looks a bit outdated, but is probably still good to use: https://supermarket.chef.io/cookbooks/smartmontools/versions/1.1.0

Here's some info on what the cookbook automates: https://ownyourbits.com/2018/11/10/monitor-your-hard-drive-health-with-smart-daemon/

Just a note: devices are /dev/sda, /dev/sdb on centaurus, and /dev/nvme0, /dev/nvme1 on draco.
