The polling period for both the S. M. A. R. T. status and free space checks can be set from every 5 minutes to every 8 hours. The default polling period for both is every hour. E-mail alerts can be enabled for S. M. A. R. T. errors, free space errors or both. 9 Logging Property Page The Logging property page is used to view the SMART-ER error log. This log will capture information when you are alerted and acknowledge the SMART error.
