smartmontools contains utility programs (smartctl, smartd) to control/monitor storage systems using the Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology System (S.M.A.R.T.) built into most modern ATA and SCSI disks. It is derived from smartsuite.

...Osquery uses basic SQL commands to leverage a relational data-model to describe a device. Frequently, attackers will leave a malicious process running but delete the original binary on disk. This query returns any process whose original binary has been deleted, which could be an indicator of a suspicious process.

collectd is a system information collection daemon designed to gather performance and operational metrics from computers, servers, and networked environments. It periodically collects data such as CPU usage, memory utilization, disk activity, network traffic, system load, hardware sensor readings, and application statistics. The platform supports a large plugin ecosystem, allowing it to monitor services like Apache, Nginx, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis, SNMP devices, virtual machines, and many other systems. Collected values can be stored, forwarded, logged, or exported to tools such as Graphite, Prometheus, Kafka, MQTT, RRDTool, and other monitoring destinations. collectd is built for efficient daemon-based operation, using caching, multithreading, and plugin-based processing to reduce system overhead. ...

This small tool parses LogWatch mail reports and extracts serveral variables such as disk space usage, hard disk read error rate (from smartd), etc.... They are exported to a simple format that allows its use as input for tools like gnuplot, and lets you inspect these variables tendencies. This should make it easier to detect anomalies or prevent failures in your servers, than having just the value for today.
