Few questions

[ghostklart]

Been working on preparing the helm chart/kube templates to deploy scrutiny in a k8s cluster, but still have few questions in order to make it ideal:

1. as far as I understand, scrutiny-collector does not run smartctl tests on the provided cron schedule (it rather uses to schedule the data pushing to web server)? If so, template should contain privileged cronJob, which would run the tests?
2. following the previous question, if collector only gets and sends data from nodes, is it worth running the agent 24/7? or better use kube's cronJob workloads to run the container on schedule to push the data, and "kill" it right after the data is sent?

Thank you in advance for the responses!

P.S. would share the manifests as step 1 as soon as i get the answers and do needed modifications on my present templates.
P.P.S. If there is someone experienced with Seagate IronWolf smartctl report reading I would appreciate shooting me a message to help understand it.

UPD: typos

I actually was just doing this today. I ended up leaving them running and made the container for each agent run on a schedule.

      while true; do
        echo "Starting SMART data collection on ${NODE_NAME}..."
        /opt/scrutiny/bin/scrutiny-collector-metrics run --config /tmp/collector.yaml || true
        echo "Collection complete. Sleeping for 10 minutes..."
        sleep 600
      done

Although, honestly thats hacky and in the long run I'd rather it schedule the container through cronjobs and kill it but I also dont own this repo. So I dont really have a say in the matter. Just my opinion.
