Before I forget, here are some ideas for hobbit plugins that I would like to
see.  I am working on some of these.

smart	-- hard drive health check
raid	-- RAID array health check (should support Linux software raid and
	   some hardware RAID solutions)
smb	-- some way to check the availability of SMB/Samba shares
rsnapshot -- I would like to have a way to check whether rsnapshot (that is,
	   backup) ran successfully.  This might actually be a special case of
	   checking the success of cron jobs.

A sensor health check would also be interesting, but probably too unportable
to be really useful.

I thought this was already finished ;)

Maybe these should be merged so we don't have too many disk columns.
Just an idea, we have to see how practical that is.

Are you thinking of more specific tests than checking the presence of
mount points? If not, a FILE check could work.

For a customer, I configured a FILE check to check if
/var/lib/logrotate/status is at most one day old. File and log checks
are a bit crude to configure, but it does the Right Thing.

I'm thinking about a generic method to check various temperatures from
/proc/acpi and lm-sensors. Portability is the main blocker, yes.

Here's how I'm checking 6 different hardware RAID controllers:

I'm reading NVME temperatures out with:
