Hello.

I'm trying to find out if KDE has a built in method for displaying notifications based on harddisk SMART data (e.g. info provided by smartmontools). Is there such a feature built into KDE?

Also - is there some external program/daemon that does that?

So far I've only seen gsmartcontrol but that's GTK and more important I can't find the daemon part functionality in it...

While on topic - please vote in the poll whether you need such a feature or not.
Thanks.

gsmartcontrol likely listens to the notifications sent out by smartd.

As far as I am aware at least, KDE itself includes no Smart monitoring.

I found this for kde plasma
https://github.com/papylhomme/diskmonitor

But this can easily work, using notify-send in a script to send notifications to kde
