I installed ssmtp and configured it:
/etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf
----
#
# /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf -- a config file for sSMTP sendmail.
#
# The person who gets all mail for userids < 1000
# Make this empty to disable rewriting.
root=USER_NAME
# The place where the mail goes. The actual machine name is required
# no MX records are consulted. Commonly mailhosts are named mail.domain.com
# The example will fit if you are in domain.com and you mailhub is so named.
mailhub=mailhost.amc.faa.gov
# Where will the mail seem to come from?
#rewriteDomain=y
# The full hostname
hostname=root.amc.faa.gov
I tested it and it works:
20:04:18 USER_NAME@resiliency ssmtp echo "Sample email body" | sudo mail -v -s "Sample subject" USER_NAME@faa.gov

I installed smartmontools. I need to think about how to monitor the disks behind the RAID. Here's my raid:
17:39:27 USER_NAME@resiliency /etc sudo lspci | egrep -i 'raid'
01:00.0 RAID bus controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic MegaRAID SAS-3 3108 [Invader] (rev 02)
It seems that I can already see behind the RAID controller:
17:46:56 USER_NAME@resiliency backups sudo smartctl --scan
/dev/sda -d scsi # /dev/sda, SCSI device
/dev/sdb -d scsi # /dev/sdb, SCSI device

I guess that's OK. It says to test all of them, but I'm don't think the info is currently accurate.

Edit /etc/smard.conf and turn on the smartd
sudo systemctl enable smartd.service
sudo systemctl start smartd.service
I configured similar to the full example:
/etc/smartd.conf
