That is pretty awesome, I will look into doing it that way. All of our monitoring is
integrated to use the very very expensive DRAC enterprise license we pay for (my fault for
trusting Dell).
We are looking for a new hardware vendor but this will likely work for the mistake we
already made.
Thanks,

What are you folks using to monitor your write

Our Ceph servers are SuperMicro not Dell but this approach is portable. We wrote a little
shell script to parse the output of "nvme"
and/or "smartctl" every hour and send the data to a Graphite server.
We have a Grafana dashboard to display the all-important graphs. After
~5 years life, our most worn NVMe (used for journal/db only -- data is on HDD) is showing
89% life remaining.
