Recommended hard drive monitoring (Ubuntu server) options?

I've had a home server for years, at first using Windows Server, then Unraid, and now using Ubuntu server. I've long known that I should keep a close eye on my spinning rust, but I never really knew the best way to have that monitoring quietly automated in the background, only sending me a message when something bad shows up. If it matters at all (I assume it doesn't) I am using ZFS on Ubuntu (but not using ZFS as root. It's mounted in e.g ~/user/storage. My primary drive is an SSD)

What are you all using for hard drive monitoring? What are you using for notifications and (generally) how are you linking those two together?

Cheers for this, I just bought a stack of new hard drives myself and this is exactly what I didn't know I needed.

Does scrutiny recognize zfs pools?

Scrutiny uses smartctl --scan to detect devices/drives.

It will recognize the block devices but not the filesystem construct. That means ZFS pools themselves are out of scope.
