+fb_smartmon Cookbook
+====================
+This cookbook manages the package `smartmontools` and `smartctl`
+as well as the server `smartd`
+
+Requirements
+------------
+
+Attributes
+----------
+* node['fb_smartmon']['enable']
+* node['fb_smartmon']['config'][$DIRECTIVE][$CONFIG]
+
+Usage
+-----
+By default this cookbook will install the `smartmontools` package
+which allows the `smartctl` command to be used.
+
+By default `node['fb_smartmon']['enable']` is set to false which
+disables the `smartd` service
+
+Setting `node['fb_smartmon']['enable']` to `true` will enable the
+`smartd` service
+
+`node['fb_smartmon']['config'][$DIRECTIVE][$CONFIG]` controls
+the `/etc/smartd.conf` config. The `$DIRECTIVE` can be a device
+device such as `/dev/sda` - or a command such as `DEVICESCAN`
+or `DEFAULT`. `$CONFIG` can be used to specify an options the
+directive takes (see smartd.conf man pages).
