If anyone has any decent working code to do this we'd consider incorporating it into the code.
Issues I can see are :
Handling new/different metrics between device types (HDD vs SSD?) without needing to change agent code (functionally impossible once code has been distributed) or RRD formats (possible, but a pain).
Presenting the information in a useful/usable manner (generic handling is good for easy alerting, bespoke handling are good for interactive usability)
Handling SMART data seems like it could well be something that's worth handling in a bespoke manner, perhaps with a "fake" status element exposed to the alerting system based on sane thresholds (does the device supply these?).
I'm more of a network person than a systems person, so I'm not as familiar with the metrics available as some might be.

Id be happy to try the code too,
anything to help the community and the development of observium!
